Jared Rivers might stay

[jnrmac 20,055]

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.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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

[Allen Jakovich 516]

Awesome!

not to be sceptical but MFC or the city?

[reynolds46 1,232]

thats not what the manager said he basically confirmed that Rivers isn't definitely leaving not that he is definitely staying

[jnrmac 20,055]

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

[P-man 13,366]

SO stoked if this is true.

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".

Jared you are required. Please stay.

[pitmaster 3,513]

Great news, I think.

Is his manager verbally dyslexic?

[Demons 32 235]

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.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Stick around Riv there may be good times ahead.

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.

[Demon2 58]

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"

[Sir Why You Little 36,982]

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

[H_T 3,043]

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

[Jordie_tackles 354]

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

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

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

[Ouch! 2,258]

... 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.
