I did not see Jared have a go at white but yes, white did decide to stand and wait and yes rivs should have given white a mouthful and more, Don't remember seeing any footage, but then at that point I did put my head in my hands and wonder what the bloody hell he was thinking.

I was throwing pillows at the TV at that point, so I missed it as well, but...

JARED FOR CAPTAIN! :D

He had every right to give him a spray. I would have probably punched him, which explains why I don't, and should never, play team sports ;)

No Jaded as a captain it's sometime appropriate to grab a team mate by the throat and threaten to belt the crap out of them if they squib a contest, they need to more scared of the pain you will inflict than what the opposition could do.

If Jared could stay on the park, I reckon he would be a GREAT option as captain. Might also help keep him in Victoria.

If Riv goes home, I will cry like a 5 year old girl in the corner.

He is a pretty introverted guy as far as I know, so maybe the captaincy is out of the question, but certainly a role in the leadership group is the way to go. I've always liked having a designated leader in each section of the ground. Rivers is, without a doubt, the backline general.

And yes, if he goes home I can see quite a few Melbourne supporters checking themselves into a psych ward soon after. We have to make sure this NEVER happens.

Just by the way, Rivers is not from Adelaide, from SA, but not from the city of Adelaide.

Maybe an introverted off field captain is the way to go!?

If he is prepared to lead by example on the field...

I don't know; who else is there, other than Jonothan Brown? *Puts on really hopeful thinking face*

Didn't say a thing, should have though...

But I think White knew it.

Awful stuff, if I was DB I would throw Meesen in for him.

He's 6 foot 5 and afraid of Mooney.

Meeson is afraid of his own shadow.

i'd still play him. right now jeff white is in career worst form. his handball, his kicking, his decision making, this notion he has if he gets his hand to the ball in ruck contests he has done his job even though most of them go to the opposition. his game is a dogs breakfast right now.

I thought White was alright. He made a few mistakes that 1 being the biggest but he wasn't the only 1. Jones made some terrible errors. Everytime Carroll got near the ball he made an error. Davey was horrible until the last quarter and Robertson was the worst player on the ground.

I am a White fan, but I have previously written a piece called 'The White is Dead'. I saw the incident and my son had to pacify me in case I destroyed the expensive (for me) LCD monitor... I like what White has contributed over his long career. I like him for things other than his toughness. At the moment I don't like him for his clangers, particularly by hand (which I witnessed in person at Casey Fields). The other annoying idiosyncrasy (feel free to read IDIOTsyncrasy) is White's habit of seeing four options when he has possession without taking any of them... the fifth option is usually the one he does not execute cleanly!!!!! Now, White observers will know what I am talking about. He has been doing this for at least 5 seasons. FREE ADVICE FOR MR WHITE... "Always take the first option, take it quickly and half the time it will work out" ... which is a way higher percentage than you are currently rating!

There were 2 incidents that drew some abuse from Rivers. There was one where Mooney (I think it was him) used White to block Rivers because he wasnt looking. It was bloody awful. Rivers turned and gave it to him.

the 2nd incident was when Hawkins took the screamer in the pocket. Rivers was marking his man as the geelong player was lining up while White was byhimself at the top of the square. He should have being on the line just in case the kick was off. The kick was off, Rivers recognised that fact early and ran back hard but couldnt get into the contest. White never moved. Rivers turned and screamed and pointed at the goal line.

White also didnt contest a Mooney mark when he had best position. But that was at the other end of the ground so I didnt see how Rivers reacted. I know how I did however. Effin ballistic.......

there was another time where white actually ran back with the flight of the ball and tried to take a speccy over a geelong/melbourne 1 on 1 contest (in the geelong forward line). he dropped the mark, and i believe geelong mopped up and kicked a goal. if you are in the back line, you have two options. mark or punch, and you only mark it when you are 100% of it.

you forgot the bit about him taking rivers out during that marking contest.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
