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.

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
