Come on, I have run out of politeness when it comes to explaining that FAs cannot be traded.

So I went for funny.

Can I just say that when posters use another font type to make their posts stand out - I immediately think: 'this person has no confidence that anyone will read what they say.'

Just use the default font type.

Umm... not sure if you are taking the [censored] out of yourself or not...

If not I am more than happy to !!! :)

when ya got.....ya got !!!

The thing is, if Rivers was a free agent we would probably go after him! We need experience and more consistent players. If we lose him I'm sure we'll go hard after other senior FA's and we would then most likely get no compensation for Riv leaving.

While I like and think Jared a very good player I don't think we'd look at him if he was at another club and available.

We are well stocked in tall backmen with Watts, Tommy Mc, Garland, Frawley and Sellar. This is probably why the FD are not freaking at the prospect of him leaving.

We need tall forwards, and losing Riv to gain a Gumbleton type forward may be what we have to do.

At least Riv would play most games......i reckon you could count on about 4 or 5 games from Gumbo....

Kinda agree that he isn't essential as a backman,

But I actually liked him as a forward, he isn't going to kick bags of 6-10 like a Reiwoldt or Franklin, but he is capable of 2-3 and is a good foil up there for Clark, at least until some forwards are found/developed.

haha, not the strongest defence, but better than what Heath Grundy tried at the tribunal last week :)

Point taken.

at about 200 id guess :)

If rivers goes, as it seems could be case, I'd be surprised if he gets more money or a longer contract than what we would offer him. IMO he'd be leaving to chalk up a few wins before he retires, because god knows we still have some pain to go through until we are consistently there or there abouts with the top sides

Unrestricted can't, but restricted can.

Rivers however is unrestricted so in this instance there will be no trade regardless of what happens

That's not true either.

Rivers might insist on a trade so that Melb is not completely dudded.

Do we have Rock Solid info that Rivers has gone???

Exactly WYL still haven't heard that he is gone. The only factual thing that has been said is that he is a free agent and he will be testing the waters. Which is what all OOC and free agents would do as par for course.

We would get compensation through the free agency formula (not that anyone knows what the hell that is yet). Give that he finished in the top 5 B&F surely he'd be considered a higher compensation pick, not top but high-ish.

I still have hope that we'll retain him.

No he won't.

The players didn't fight for FA to just void it when they get it.

The rules have changed - he has every right to leave and do it as a FA, and we will get a comp pick based on whatever the rules say.

Brave new world.

Spot on. Some dont quite understand this yet ; still holding onto the notion "bartering conditions " will be attached . As you suggest RPFC these are the shackles they organised to be rid of .

And that's why he should stay. Being a one club player surely means more in due course, than simply going to another club now and being a serviceable, bit part player for the next few years.

Bruce, for instance, ruined his MFC legacy for me. I have absolutely no affection for the man at all now.

I just want whats best for the club. Players can come and go, provided its done professionally . What they do after they leave is up to them. Im not that interested.

Finals/Premierships are a pretty strong lure, especially if you've come from MFC.

Do you think that former club captains Stan Alves and Greg Wells regret leaving and playing in premierships ? Do you think if they had their time over they'd be one club players and not premiership players ?

Exactly. I dont decry players seeking the best opportunity for themselves.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
