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.

Stick around Riv there may be good times ahead.

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"

"NOT" in capitals is a hopeful sign. His experience is needed.

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.

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
