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.

You can see the confusion though, when you're quoting a comment about Jared Rivers in a thread about Jared Rivers?

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
