Rivers

[The Dr]

I was dumfounded by the matchups. Frawley is quick but there is a difference between speed and agility. Bruce should have gone to Johnson and left Frawley to take Mooney or Pods. Rivers was always going to be undersized.

I did think he was horrible though and one of our worst. I thought he was worse than Warnock. When he went to mark that up and under ball, and Hawkins came in and marked it instead, I cringed.

completely, completely agree with that. Awful decision by DB not to even try Frawley on the big fellas.

But on topic, yeah, I think Rivers had a shocker and needs to be dropped, esp this week with no obvious match-up against Carlton.

Still have hope for him to come good, but he had an absolute Barry Crocker on Sat.

Negative, but i do see Rivers as the second coming and always have.

Mooney zero goals, Garland and Warnock getting pantsed, but that surely can't be Garlands fault.

Laughable post. Got smashed by Mooney early so Warnock had to be moved on to him, so he went to Pods and got a bath so Warnock had to switch again and ended the game on the bench even with Garland injured on the bench and Bruce and MacDonald having to match up on Hawkins, that's how good Rivers game was. I felt sorry for Warnock having to clean up that burden's mess.
No need to apologise all the Little Stinga haters. I was right and you were all wrong, deal with your mediocre expectations on your players and inability to see the bleeding obvious and move on.
Now that Rivers is gone (couldn't possibly get a game after that effort) Bruce is now firmly in my sights. He better play well next week because I'm sick of yesterday's heroes continually doing very little week in week out and continually get a game. Get the kids in and continue to develop them because those 2 are at the stage where they have to step up or move on and they haven't looked close to steping up like McDonald and Green have.
