After only one year as a development coach he  has the top VFL gig - he has obviously really impressed Buckley, which I suspect isn't easy.

Always a big fan of Rivers as he gave his all thru the toughest of times.  Didn't begrudge him leaving when he did.  

If coaching your own team is a key to being an AFL senior coach he is well on the way.  In that respect he has a bit of a jump on his demon teammates now in coaching: Green, Neitz, Bruce, Yze.  I wonder if any if them will ever be the Demons senior coach...

Wish Rivers lots of success, except when they play Casey!

Good to see the Pies availing themselves of stunningly successful Melbourne backline participants....

Maybe Mark Neeld put in a good word for them all...

Rivers was a more than handy backman... and would have been regardless of who he played for (unfortunately, by the time he got to Geelong, injuries had gotten the better of him).

I hate to imagine your reaction if Oscar McDonald earned a coaching role after his playing career. Do you just hate defenders pf?

What's with the hate?

All the best Jared!

Because Riv and Collingwood VFL's success are inextricably linked.

Worked with Riv's wife. His was offered almost rookie wages from the MFC to stay but opted to leave and play finals for Geelong.

Was an assistant at the Pies last year and now has been promoted to VFL coach.

He has been to a couple of functions at the club and still considers himself a Dee's player and would like to come back to the club at some stage if his coaching career takes off.

He must have the patience of an angel to move up the chain at Collingwood. Imagine trying to hold your head high dealing with Figjam, Eddie, et al. Good luck Riv!

Could find himself as Head coach next year......

Should be a lucrative position as I believe there are a lot of head cases out at the Lexus Centre or whatever they call the place these days.

Rivo was a smart player. His fast development as a coach is not surprising,.

Good luck to him!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
