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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
