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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
