I love him too, but tonight he was either brilliant or horrendous, with nothing in between. 

Loved his second efforts, but they usually came off the back of terrible errors.

Edited by A F

I'm a big fan, but I'd be a bigger fan without his one horrible goal coasting turn over per week

 

He’s putting together a very good season and would be pushing for a top five finish in our best and fairest so far. He randomly costs us a bad goal every week, but outside that he’s become seriously well rounded and versatile too.


He’s the anti Kozzie at the moment.

Will do something that tears your hair out, but then make up for it with 5 brilliant things.

Kozzie will kick a brilliant goal but then you won’t see him for the next 30 minutes.

Rivers is having a much improved year compared to 2022.

We all like him..

But he had some genuine blunders tonight.

Has not fired a shot since he laid the spear on Smith.

 

Rivers has had a very solid month.

His attack at the contest and reading of the play has been impressive. Confident and has good vision.

I'll allow the odd mistake here and there when he's having such a positive impact.


He's got that rare Sean Wight defensive desperation spoil energy combined with athleticism and speed. You love to see it. 

If it was the 90's, he would be developing into the full back position.

Good thread, he and Hibbo are the only run and carry players down back. Get the ball put it under their arm and run and break the lines

I think he's been great. Love his dash and dare. Great kick.  He does alternate regularly between the sublime and the ridiculous though.


If he can reduce the clangers to 'rarely' rather than weekly he is on the cusp of becoming an A grade HB.

Maybe just tell him not to try and thread high risk short passes through traffic from here.  Play the percentages by foot.

I will take the errors for the enterprise he brings.

We simply can’t fall back into leaving spark and movement to Hibberd and Rivers. 

When we get boring and tight - that’s when we lose.

I hope he never loses that dare and confidence.

Having a strong year and good chance for a top 5 B&F finish.

His kicking has become a real weapon with his ability to hit targets long and short while also removing those howlers from earlier in the season. So glad he's ours and won't be long before the rest of the AFL world catch on to how good he is. Sam Mitchell already knows.

 

What I really like about the Riv, is

❤️he’s thirst for the contest and intensity.

❤️ his run and run and carry.
❤️his Second efforts.

❤️He’s a Good mark.

❤️He’s a Good kick long and short.  

Definitely one of the first picked now and likely will be in top 5-8 range imv for the B&F.

  • 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

    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.
