I really, really like what Riv brings to the team. His potential for further growth is a key for us challenging in 2025.

I expect that he has been promised a full time midfield role next year. If so, i'm hopeful it'll give him a huge up for a good off-season and massive pre-season. His time on ground %'s dropped in the back half of the year, perhaps showing he didn't quite have the tank required for midfield. I back him to get there and think he could be a huge difference maker for us.

A midfield ready Rivers and a fit Oliver - suddenly we have a scary midfield again, and can leave Trac to spend more time forward kicking bags.

Can we all just remember to NOT take things like this as gospel. Surely we’ve all learned by now. Tracc was going, Kozzie was going, Vines was off to North, remember? Even if some of the regulars (eg Cornes, Morris and other so-called journalists) jump all over this one, let’s not take the bait.

On a personal level, I had a 14yo member of the DA call me the other day in tears. She adores Kozzie and was heartbroken to hear he wants to leave us. This is yet another reason why I can’t stand these people who propagate rumours and try passing them off as legit news.

 

edit: I’m referring to the Riv Wants Out story above. NOT the awesome Riv video from the MFC site.

Riv is a likeable/lovable young fella!

 

Humble, and a gun of a footballer. He will only bet better too. 
 

Good times ahead with this type of young man at the club.

I don't think anyone's taking it as gospel, and the fact that even the bigger names haven't dropped something similar speaks volumes as to how credible it is.

Of course other clubs are interested. They want to make up for picking every other player besides Rivers between #20 and #30 in the 2019 draft.

This X account is running at a 1% strike rate

It previously said that Bont wants out, Darcy won’t re-sign with Freo and various other utter garbage.

According to their bio they’re an ex AFL player agent. 
Also I’m a unicorn 🙄

If it ain’t credible, why post it?

I posted it with exclamation marks. Perhaps too subtle. 

But the one point in it that was interesting and perhaps more credible was that Collingwood were interested in him last year when he re-signed. That he did reconfirm to us says something about both him and the club, we sometimes take these re-signings for granted.

Looking at the Twitter feed, Bont and Darcy are both looking to leave the dogs. 
 

In other words, this is just cr.p.

There’ll always be folks who believe exactly what they read no matter where it comes from. Also, 14yo kids have yet to learn the difference between what’s credible and what’s not.

Young gun, who could walk into any club in the AFL, recommits  to the club for 4 more years  - club's in crisis!

Meanwhile at tiger land three of their best five players at the peak of their powers all leave - move along nothing to see here!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
