FAREWELL JARED RIVERS

[Apocalypse XXXI 243]

Deep Throat on twitter is saying that reports about Jared Rivers going to the Cats are way off. Says if he leaves the Dees, it will be to Essendon.

That's interesting. They must think Fletcher only has 3-4 years left.

I thought they wanted mids, like us.

Other tweets from the same account. Guy is full of it, but no doubt he'll fluke one eventually. The last three are from last year's trade period. I didn't even have to delve deep to find these, they're all of equal farce status.

Travis Cloke will play for Fremantle for the next 6 years at 1.1mil a season. Expect Pies to sign up rest of unsigned stars shortly

Sydney has thrown a late pick at Richmond's Daniel Connors. Good move. #tradeweek #gotiges #AFL

Luke McGuane will be at Brisbane next year. Details of what the trade will involve still to come. #tradeweek #gotiges #AFL

Addam Maric looks certain to join the Roos in exchange for their 2nd round draft pic

Hey all, I posted this in another thread after Saturday night.

All didn't no the best place to post this so I'll throw it here. Had a great chat with Chris scott earlier tonight at a bday I was at (brad was there too but didn't get the time to chat to him). First of all, top bloke and very down to earth.

Among other things I quizzed him about gys, riv, caddy, his thoughts on melb etc thought a few would be interested to no!

On riv: not keen unless all else fails (didn't go into details).

On gys: laughed at me when I asked. Played dumb and said he's small, but then asked how I rated him - tbh seemed keen.

On caddy: no news here but every Melbourne club is going for him, including melb

On neeld and fd: rates neeld big time but doesn't really give much time/thought to the dees as they have been non competitive.

Anyway have a good weekend all!

You follow a guy called "deep Throat" to get updates?

Presumably, Deep Throat is the foremost authority in the world about player movements.

I'd almost completely forgotten about him (or her ) but I suppose it was only a matter of time before he/she reared his/her ugly head.

What we really need is a special thread for unconfirmed trade/FA/draft rumours so we can check in December how many of them actually worked out as rumoured.

Well WJ, you are an an admin! Go to it.

[beelzebub 23,383]

I dunno....some bloke called Felt Marker reckons Riv is hot for a club with better gold ( I mean Golf ) courses

Indeed, the word "latest" in this thread title is a travesty.

so it must be absolutely true then. :-))

Just like when [censored] Lloyd says we don't use GPS....because he says it is true it must be.

I would hate to see Riv go. He was one of the few who stood up this year.

It is indeed very unfortunate but very likely.

I dont know about joining Geelong, they dont look top 4 standard anymore

Hopefully we'll meet them in the middle next year as they drop down and we rise up!

With Rivers, MacIntosh and perhaps Caddy, they look pretty formidable to me.

I agree. The lack of love for him here is astounding!

Not only this year, but last year. 2nd and 5th in B&F. Moving forward for the team's sake was to his own detriment. Team player, clubman. Body is sound, as JCB said its unfortunate - but that's the footy landscape now.

[beelzebub 23,383]

If he goes he goes...stays he stays. Not fazed either way. Good luck if he wishes to eat different grass. Good onya if he remains a Dee.

There is no change....without change. Such is the way of things folks

I think/wonder if the sites & my indifference is largely to do with the lack of physical committment from the senior melbourne players over the last 10 Years.

When the players used to go in hard into contests & played flat out footy, I had no compunction to get emotionally involved with our heros, & cheer & barrack unreservedly.

But since around 2001ish > onwards I've become more & more disillusioned with our club & players.

Riv is one of the more honest.

[Pates 9,660]

I hope the lure of possibly being a one club player, and the direction we are going in will be enough to convince him to stay. I honestly feel he is, and has been one of the most underrated players at the club, is courageous, good mark, decent skills, and has a bit of mongrel about him. That coupled with his experience would make him a pretty big loss, not devastating, but big enough.

Good as gone. Expect to be anounced as early as next monday.
