Jared Rivers- HBF or CHB?

[davey_magik]

Just curious on the thoughts of other Dees supporters, do you think Rivers would be better as a 3rd tall down back or as our no.1 CHB?

 

[dees_best]

Although many people see him as a 3rd tall, i still see Jared as our CHB for the best part of the next 10 years.

 

[melbournemartin]

he is our only defender that has the skill (well the potential to have the skill in the near future) to compete with the best CHFs in the league.

Needs to bulk up along with fergy over the summer. Just take whatever brad miller took last summer. And some of those angry pills, that's what we need.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Needs to put on a bit over pre-season if he wants to hold down CHB.

Can see him doing a Milburn-like job sweeping round our backline though.

 

[astro_toby]

well, when in Rome....

 

[CaptainDavey]

If he can play CHB and take a screamer over Scott Lucas (I hate Scott Lucas) and do a Matty Scarlett and run the whole field and score, I'll name my first born after Jared Rivers

But yes, play him CHB with Biz next to him

 

[StingaArmstrong]

I think rotating Fergy, Carroll, Wheatley and Rivers through all backline positions depending on who is the most suitable opponent will be the best option. No use pigeon holing someone if they are better suited to a different opponent in a different position.

he did b4 the hawthorn game when he belted one of the pretty boys (dixon i'm pretty sure) and copped 2 weeks.

I think as he gets a bit more mature he'll be a very good CHB, hopefully a big pre season on the weights will help.

That wasn't just a belt, he sent Dixon off with his nose flattened .
Just proves once again how much harder and more passionate our younger players are compared to the senior group (With the exception of Neita, Brown and Robbo who isn't necessarily hard but loves the club).

 

[melbournemartin]

difference between guts n hardness and stupidity and he showed stupidity in that game.

 

[Higgs Boson]

I've actually always wanted to see what he would be like up forward...
