According to Trade Radio and Nigel Carmody - "Rivers will not definitely be leaving Melbourne".

I assume he is JR's manager??

Good news if correct.

 

Please let this be true. This would mean as much to me as attracting players from others club.

Wow. You have to be a king sceptic to read that into it!!

Have been a reader for a long time of Demonland but just had to join today. Got excited when I saw Rivers was staying BUT this is not a correct quote! The quote is "River will NOT definitely be leaving Melbourne" not "Rivers will definitely not be leaving Melbourne".
 

This thread is incorrect.... The quote was " Jared Rivers is not definately leaving Melbourne"

Translation, he is looking at offers to leave but has not made up his mind yet.

Great news, I think.

Is his manager verbally dyslexic?

the double negative will excite some of our week known soothsayers even more that the usual single negative. Some just love everything about anything negative.

Rivers staying would cap off a good draft/trade period

You're right. But I can't change the title...

We're hopefully just starting.

No caps.

We need a Ray or Russell type, some mature run & carry.

Pederson or similar.

this is the exact quote

"Nigel Carmody rapt to have Angus Monfries to Port Adelaide in exchange for pick 48. Another of his clients Jared Rivers is NOT definitely leaving Melbourne"

I'm glad we got that sorted....


His manager Nigel Carmody from ESP told Gillette AFL Trade Radio that Rivers would have to wait and see what transpired from meetings held between AFL clubs this week before he knew what his options might be, but he emphasised that Rivers was no guarantee to depart Melbourne.

"By no stretch is he definitely leaving Melbourne," Carmody said.

no guarantee to leave Melbourne, alot different to what was quoted as i thought may be the case

If he was leaving to play finals as reported and the Cats are offering reasonable terms then there should not be too much to think about.

Maybe he will stay after all. I hope he does

... this might just be me, but I don't think playing finals footy is enough to justify a move. I could understand a move to a premiership contender (Sydney, Hawks, etc) But if the club isn't likely to be a legitimate contender (and I don't think Geelong are going to be one) then contract length and amount must at least be as significant as what MFC would be offering before considering a move.

good point. The MFC may be closer than Geelong in terms of winning a flag. Even though i expect them to contest finals for at least the next 2-3 years.

Rivers was never a certain to leave. more the case of being a free agent and seeing what was on offer, plus seeing what happens over the trade period and how rosey the future looks.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
