I only just saw Sunday’s game this morning, and I was thinking he’s really coming on as a midfielder,  and it would be great to see him re-sign. Then I saw this news.

JvR mentioned in a previous interview that Rivers had led the WA boys in their training programme over the break too - leadership potential. 

The fact that he and Jackson were best mates when they arrived is just a sweet cherry on top. Really happy with this signing!

Thank you for this.

    A great pick by JT. 

    And I assume by this news he has a Melbourne girlfriend.

    I’m a bit behind the times but just watched “Show Me The Money” yesterday. What a professional recruiting team we have. They get deals done and seem super professional and good to deal with.

    it was particularly noticeable in the final scenes some Agent running around trying to get some deal done running past our team who are casually walking out, all deals done. Tim Lamb seems a ripper.

    Great news.  Important to keep as many premiership players still in their prime on the list.

    Next up Kozzy within approx two weeks

    How great was that second goal! Man was it really 2 and a half years ago?

    If you asked me where any of those COVID games were played I wouldn't be able to say off the top of my head.

    Reads the game, run-and-carry type player, courageous, with a hint of leadership. Up until this year, I didn't like his long bomb ill-directed kicks (ala Brent Moloney or Clarry early in his career) but he is much more discerning with ball in hand now and is an absolute ripper. 

    Our club is so different now. We recruit, trade, AND develop our players so well.

    Anyone remember how Riv ended up at the Dees. 2019 was such a head scratching pick merry go round. 

    We got pick 26 as part of Langdon trade.  

    We gave Nth our 2020 1st rounder (became 2020 Pick 13 Tom Powell Nth) plus Freo's 26 (became pick 30 Harrison Jones Essendon) & Hawks pick 50 which we got for Frosty (which became Pick 46 Hugo Ralphsmith Tigers) and we got back pick 8.

    We gave pick 8 to Freo who picked Serong and they gave us 10 & 28 which got us Kossie and Riv.

    In fact there were another 8 picks involved in the initial Freo and Hawks deals which I won't even follow.

    I don't think he's got the tank. At least not yet. Could develop into an outside mid the way he plays but he's so so good under pressure down back in all facets.

    Would be cool to see him in there tagging at some point this year (instead of harmes... please) but I think he's too crucial down back.

    When Salem and maybe Hibberd return depending on matchups, Rivers with the rest make up the best backline in the comp hands down IMO.

    Such an important player, our most underrated, only 21, no real weaknesses, potential future 250+ gamer.

    Please sign

    Riv may  not have the tank right now for extended periods in the midfield but the more players we can cameo through there the better the depth when the inevitable injuries occur.

    Um . . . totally NOT awkward. The only thing that counts is what your team-mates think of you. I would suggest every one of them would want him at the 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 year reunions. And quite frankly, I'd suggest those who were not in the 23 would get an invite as well.

    Suggest you talk to some players, past and present, who were/are fringe players and hear their experiences first hand @Deebauched. 

    The entire squad based in Perth in that wonderful (though bizzaire) period contributed to the premiership, even those who didn’t play.
    In particular, and I believe Max has alluded to it, was Majak Daw who although he never played at senior level for us proved an invaluable training partner for Max.

    We have come a very long way since the bad old years. 

    Never thought we would be thinking this let alone writing it about our club. 

    Geez it’s a good feeling.

    Or a Melbourne gender fluid non-binary yet fluid friend. I wouldn’t want to assume his life partners gender (if they/them) have one. 

    Just read this news, great outcome.

    • 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.

      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.
