Yessssssss. My brothers mate! We are all pumped about this.

Not super quick but apparently runs all day and an elite kick.

Edit: apparently our media team think he's quick so maybe I'm wrong haha

    Really happy with this pick.

    Perfect replacement for Hibbo. Can swing through the midfield as well.

    Had an outstanding junior career.

    From East Fremantle which is the same junior club as Luke Jackson!

    Goodbye go home factor.

    Surprised he's rated as an elite kick. Only went at 69% for the U/18 champs, but 80%+ by hand which pushed his DE% higher

    It really depends on the type of kicks they are attempting.

    You can chip 25m kicks to a free player and go at 100%, but never get the ball going anywhere.

    He's very much a 40-55m kick type of player off half-back.

    Welcome to MFC Trent Rivers, you will love it at the Dee's and sounds like you will fill an important role for us off half back and through the mid-field.............!!

    Is that us done for the night?

    You would think so. Two spots left for Bennell and/or Brown. Might upgrade a rookie or two?

    Great get for us and will be nice to see a Rivers across halfback in red and blue again. He’s a good size to mop up in the back half and has a neat kick on him. Welcome to the club Trent!

    A good solid selection - following the Gold Coast example we have two young recruits from the same club and both are All Australians.

    Hope that is the only thing we do follow them on.

    Knightmare:

    Melbourne pick 32 = Trent Rivers. A surprise to see Rivers drop this far after talk he would go somewhere around 20. Displays class off half-back and can win it when pushed through the midfield. A good pick here. #AFLDraft

    This was where the well known draft watchers had Rivers in their power rankings:

    Draft Central: 13

    Knightmare: 20

    Cal Twomey: 23

    Looks to be a good get at pick 32.

    Can someone explain that Geelong-GC trade??!?!?!

    Does GC have so many first rounders they literally don't give a [censored] what they do with them knowing the gifts will just keep on coming in?!

    Pretty much. They also have a limited time frame, I’d say 3 years, to get it together.

    If the big 6: Rankine, Luko, Ben King, Rowell, Anderson, Flanders - don’t get it together in the next 3 years the whole club will fold. 

    Sharp is a ready made wing/half back. Get him in now and they’ll have the best chance to be successful before these guys contracts run out in 3-4 years (they’ll all stay longer than 2)

    Speaking of whom, is he sporting a very bad wig or does he just have a very bad haircut?

    Some nostalgic Demon names returning from the past in this draft. I like our recruiting this off season. Best  for a long time IMO

    Rivers is best mates with Jackson. Should reduce any potential go-home factor.

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
