No. On a closer reading of this thread I see Hells Gates has raised the same thing I heard - that Rivers wants out. It's only a rumour but a serious one I believe.

Rivers is not unhappy with the club but wants to have some success and can't see us getting in the finals any time soon; Geelong are looking to replace Scarlett so they are interested. My son works with an influential Cats supporter, very influential, and they are quite open about it.

Not sure the club saw this coming, well at least today. Why would they put an article about his Court date on the club site and still have no response to the announcement?

Because amateur hour still reigns supreme at MFC?

It seems circumspect that Port's ready with a statement before our own club is.

Very true...poor form for Port to issue their statement prior to the MFC confirming journo story...unless Jurrah's manager has already sounded out the PAFC!

I have just got home from work to this sad news. Disappointed but not really surprised. However if Jared Rivers goes to Geelong, I would be shattered. I remember seeing him being interviewed on Dee TV (I think) and he spoke of visiting his girlfrinds parents place "up the coast". Maybe Geelong is more appealing - I hope I am wrong.

So Jurrah checking out as soon as the seasons done and another club releasing a statement expressing their interest in him doesn't

in anyway feel or seem like what happened with Scully.

It seems circumspect that Port's ready with a statement before our own club is.

Staggering.

A combination of disappointed and meh.

Disappointed because, in the end, there's no denying that Jurrah possesses talent which is lacking from the rest of our list, and showed that he can change games off his own boot. Fully fit and engaged (a caveat, sure) he adds enormous value to our side.

Meh because there's always been something iffy about him, and he's been out of the game for so long that even if everything went perfectly from here, who knows if he'd be able to get back to any sort of AFL-level football.

In the end, these things happen. People get homesick, family situations change, and people need to move city to continue their life. That's just how it is.

It's an opinion on what might transpire. If you can't handle others' opinions my suggestion is you head down to Bunnings, buy yourself some timber, build a bridge ... and get over it.

Sometimes opinions can be offensive.

Your suggestion implied that Rudeboy has had something to do with a potential move to Collingwood. That's offensive to Rudeboy. Yes, it's your opinion, but Hitler had opinions and no one's response to him was simply 'oh, just build a bridge and get over it'.

grow up

re Davey

Maybe theres more validity in the off the cuff lambasting that you ridicule so quickly.

Davey does have a role as mentor of his 'brothers" Liam was one of the charges under his wing. So maybe there is a question to ask , how much might have Aaron known about Liam's inclination to go walkabout?

If he knew anything did he pass it on to the club ?

Whats wrong with asking these ?

i couldnt give a stuff personally as i have grown to have a cold heart as a melbourne supporter, with all the rotten things that have happened to us over the years.

I just feel bad for my son, who has had posters of Moloney and Jurrah all over his wall, and before that Scully.

I cant bring myself to tell him about Jurrah, as he only took the moloney poster down last night after hearing he was leaving.

Has Jurrahs number on his jumper too.

A team desperate for stars, young supporters desperate for heroes, but maybe there are no heroes? Maybe the lesson is to not take AFL too seriously as it only brings heartache, especially if you are a melbourne supporter.

Davey could be mentoring himself next year .

There will be no brothers left

Theres is no doubt that its more than bizarre that another club , Port, is in any way commenting upon anything when the guys sweat still drips on his former locker.

Something smells here....more than the locker !!

Im glad he is going. He is a distraction the club doesnt need and he doesnt have the work ethic to fit into NELDS plan. Get what we can and wear the loss. Yet to see any remote players not do this. I think other clubs will stop recruiting guys from remote parts as the risk outweighs the gain. Its a shame.

We just need Adelaide to indicate that they too may be interested... ;-)

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
