FAREWELL JARED RIVERS

Apocalypse XXXI
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

My guess is that we probably offered Riv a one year deal (which would be appropriate imo) and the Cats offered two. Hence his decision to walk. I'm not so sure we will "essentially" be swapping Rivers for Pedersen. There's a bit of water to go under the bridge in the trade period yet. I'm hopeful that we will get a second rounder as the wash-up from free agency, and I doubt we would pay that for Pedersen. There's still the potential Martin trade, and whatever else might come out of the woodwork next week.

Not sure on the length but the contract we offered him was less than the previous one which he wasn't happy about. Especially since he was leading B&F until he was moved forward.

If the club really wanted to keep him they would of.

    Just admit you got it wrong with your interpretation of my post.

    Blue & White is NOT Red & Blue.

    I got nothing wrong. I was disappointed in your original comment...Jared has regressed.

    He made a choice.

    With all due respect, at the moment you are carrying on like a "Melbourne Richard".

    hehe..entertaining.

    I just watched footage of River's press conference in his Geelong polo shirt. Just weird and wrong.

    I think there's some serious overestimation of Watts' ability as a backman in this thread. It's all rosy when he's playing loose, but there'll be alot more responsibility placed upon him now. The days of him getting monstered in the one-on-one contests better disappear quick smart.

    Just playing devils advocate here, but how is this any different to when Cam Bruce left? Just because we have a name for it (Free Agency) does that make us more accepting of a player leaving for a better contract and walking from the club?

    Cam Bruce left for a worse contract. He got an extra year from Hawthorn that vindicated our decision.

    Rivers was pushed out of his position and we offered what we offered. He made the decision that he was better off at Geelong - where he would get a more regular game - and we all move on.

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
