Slight PCL. Thats not cool!

Good luck Riv get better ASAP

 

Imagine losing a player the quality of Rivers and no one being worried. Life is good!

Not ideal but an adequate replacement in Hunt 

Certainly not like for like but can cover in his absence.

Still a loss - I can see Riv being top 5 in the comp for the position and role that he plays.

Hopefully it's just the 3-4 weeks and we see him back by round 2-3.

Seems likely that Hunt will get the nod to fill River's spot in the 22. Looking forward to seeing what Jayden can produce this year. Was back to his best last season and definitely would've featured in our GF squad had he not injured himself late in the year.

Quite possibly.

But riv's injury also gives them option of playing both Tomlinson and Smith  with Smith taking riv's running hb role and tomo Petty’s role.

As long as it’s not the dreaded 426 he’ll be fine. 
Hunt didn’t just get back to his previous best last season he far exceeded it

Hunt is definitely the better like-for-like with his pace / run & carry etc

Smith no doubt is very capable in the air & his athleticism is a strength of his... but i do cringe at the thought of seeing him do anything else but spoiling / intercepting

Hunt all day for me.

I'm more worried about May's "tightness".

He's always had soft tissue injury concerns.

I would guess that given he played with a 6cm hamstring tear in the GF, they are just being extra cautious. 

A hamstring  strain would only require 2 weeks anyway and it'll be 3 weeks from last week's game to round 1. Can't see him missing.

Both he and Hibbo are in old man territory now. 

I am personally much more concerned about Salem.

Is he tight?  🙂

I want Burgo back.

Not sure if serious or sarcastic but Burgo's a genuinely horrible loss and really bad luck on our part that he only left due to family reasons.

Only a 6cm tare, he'll be right👍🏽

Showed last night why he's a significant loss for us.

Rivers not only plays a good lockdown role but gives us good speed and long kicking off half back.

The likes or Hunt, Baker and Smith failed to grab their opportunity last night.

Agreed.  Rivers has both the ability to lockdown but also rebound. Big loss. But hopefully Hunt can step in and find his 2021 form with good run and carry.  

Unfortunately we won’t have the same 22 for ‘22 round 1 as we had for the premiership winning 2021.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
