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: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
