FAREWELL JARED RIVERS


Apocalypse XXXI

Recommended Posts

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!

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

I'd almost completely forgotten about him (or her :lol: ) 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.

Another hot exclusive from that account! Sports News First in disguise.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
