Jared Rivers out for the season?


Jaded No More

Recommended Posts

Do you think he'll never get over his OP?

Is it really that bad, despite him playing the entire 2005 season and finishing top 5 in our B&F?

Sorry to quote myself, but just found this article in the Herald Sun:

Extra load buries Moloney

A lot of fluff about bouncing back and all that, but also...

-Melbourne aimed to ease Moloney back this season, slowly increasing his workload. But the dire shortage of players during games forced him to push on.

-Yze had scans this week to check for osteitis pubis, but it's believed the results were not season-threatening.

"It's more hip-flexor and groin at the moment. We just want to monitor that and make sure it doesn't become a fully osteo case," Daniher said.

No word about Rivers. Maybe the Ch.10 reported confused Rivers with Yze? :mellow:

Moloney is so valuable and we missed his long kicking a drive out of the middle last year. We need him and Brock and Jonesy in there as there are all so rugged and hard working- Bruce and Johno with the class and Junior is the little dynamo. Bmer got 3 clearances in a row against Geelong this season and that game was a good example of his style. We need him back

Not at all Jaded. Sorry for my 'absolute' statement. I just see Moloney as the most mismanaged of our OP boys, and I see his road back to be the longest.

i agree finks. i think he needs be be sat out for 8-12 months absolutely nothing. then he shouls resume closer to the start of next season and aim for a return through sandy, half a game round 1 perhaps. he is too valuble a player to have on and off the park. if we ever get brock moloney sylvia and jones up and running we will have a very hard midfield winning a lot of ball, getting a lot of clearances. if that happens while we have travis, bruce and green on the outside feeding to neitz and robo we are definetly a chance to finish highly.

to think that of our 4 hardest inside midfielders jones (10-odd games) is the only one who has played most of this year and and even he was injured at a time.

Don't write off Moloney - I don't believe he's 'damaged goods'.

Also, how do you get those fancy quote things to work?

Heya,

You can hit the reply button and it then automatically puts the quote 'tags' around the text. You can then edit that down to simply include the bits that are relevant to what you're saying :)

You can also do it manually -

[quote name='Rogue' date='Jun 1 2007, 05:53 AM' post='77670']text here[/quote]

That appears like this:

When you hit the reply button it automatically adds the name and date etc, but you can simply do the following:

[quote name='Rogue']text here[/quote]

or...

Sorry for this off-topic post, but I hope that helps you and maybe some other people too :)

No one is looking for a scapegoat

Just look at his recent history at Hawthorn.........and now with us

He is probably a really nice guy

IMHO We need to cast the net as wide as possible and try and recruit someone who has the runs on the board at AFL level

Thoughts?

Honestly, stop clutching at straws. I suppose the guy at St. Kilda is BB "s students as well. Unfortunatley we haven't got the stars of a West Coast, Sydney etc so everyone on our list or on the park has to be performing at their optimum, and as one unit. When we get a few injuries or loss of form, we are going to fall away. I think our coaching/ training staff do the best with what they have, and blaming one guy for our misfortune is simplistic. :huh:

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
