What a flogJust 2 hard campaigners forging harder campaigners.
we can bring in tigs2010 to make the sandwiches.
shut up fatsoWhat a flog
I don't think anyone here has ever claimed he didn't, we just don't believe the narrative a few have that it was all him and Leppa and DImma was demoted to work experience kid lol
Yeah i know there's no way Yze will get punted, well at least not till after the 2025 season if it is a repeat of this year but hell, I'm a cranky old duffer who in my supporter prime followed Richmond when Graeme Richmond ruled supreme at TigerlandYeh smart move. We will be a bigger joke then ever if we did that. Oh things are difficult let’s quickly rush out and sack him, rather then looking over the list or other areas within the club.
yeah only propelled us to a dynasty
nothing special
Still believe he was wasted at Essendon, like seriously a VFL coach lol. Welcome back Blake.Yeah like a premiership winning player and coach doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The bombers aren’t going anywhere if the players can’t hear what he has to say.

Perhaps Rivers will take charge of our VFL team if Morris is given a promotion to line coach?found this on jared rivers, not sure whether it is worth much weight given it's in the amateur league
"Two months after his retirement, Rivers joined Collingwood's coaching staff as a development coach, replacing Craig McRae as part of a coaching restructure.[3]
A year after joining Collingwood's coaching staff, Rivers was appointed coach of the VFL team, after Dale Tapping left to take up a role as an assistant coach with the Brisbane Lions.[4][5][6] Rivers coached the VFL team until the end of the 2019 season.
in August 2020, Rivers joined Collegians Football Club in the VAFA as their head coach.[7]
After winning the first 3 games of the season, Collegians suffered a 5 game loss streak, in the 2022 VAFA A grade season. However Rivers then lead Collegians on a 10 game winning streak to finish in 2nd spot for a place in the 1st Semi Final for a spot in the grandfinal against St Kevins. Despite being up by 16 points at half time, key injuries to key players Kenny Ong and Luke Mcleary lead to a knockout and a further preliminary final loss to Brighton ending the season prematurely.
However gaining momentum from the 2022 and using the final losses as fuel and motivation, Collegians swept through the A-grade section 2023 winning 15 games and only losing 3 in the home and away season with the most points scored (1707) and least points conceded (945). Finishing 1st with astounding 180.63% percentage. 2 losses coming from Brighton without a full squad and the other coming on a Sunday to Uni Blues.
Coming into the first semi against an under the radar Uni Blues, Collegians went down 24 points in the 1st quarter and wrestled the lead back which went back and forth for most of the game. However in the 4 quarter with 20 minutes gone, Uni blues kicked 4 consecutive goals to go up 81 - 59. With all hope seemingly looking lost, Rivers made some tactical adjustments and threw the magnets around. Goals from David Mirra, Lachie Ferguson, Max Pincheback and an epic last minute goal from ruckman Ben Woodfull sealed a famous victory and miraculous 2 point win (84 - 82) to book a spot in the 2023 VAFA Premier A Grand Final.
Unfortunately the grand final was not a nail biter compared to the semi and ultimately Collegians absolutely trounced St Kevins 130 - 45 with Jared steering Collegians to their 18th A Grade flag leading to redemption and making amends for 2022. A 6 goal 1st quarter and 7 goal 3rd quarter dashed all hope for St Kevins and the game looked well and truly settled by half time. The margin was the 2nd highest in VAFA A grade grand final history.
Goals coming Lachie Ferguson 5, David Mirra 5, Ed Greene 2, Viv Michie 2, Kenny Ong, Josh Watson, Campbell Walker, Jim Bazzani, Will Pocknee.
Considering when Jared was appointed in 2021, Collegians were languishing in the relegation zone, for Rivers to then win the premiership is nothing short of a masterclass."
