DistrACTION Jackson 10,753 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited November 28, 2019 by Collar-Jazz-Knee 24 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,372 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Really happy with this pick. Perfect replacement for Hibbo. Can swing through the midfield as well. Had an outstanding junior career. 10 Quote
DeeZee 7,496 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Outside skill and run, good pick. 2 Quote
Mickey 4,777 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Missed pre-season with Gladular fever. Was apparently only walking laps in Feb. Bloody good effort to have made under 18 AA off that preparation. https://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-11-06/class-of-2019-trent-rivers 4 1 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,372 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 From East Fremantle which is the same junior club as Luke Jackson! Goodbye go home factor. 13 Quote
Mickey 4,777 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited November 28, 2019 by Good Lord George 2 1 Quote

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. 4 Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 A good solid selection - following the Gold Coast example we have two young recruits from the same club and both are All Australians. 3 Quote
DeeZone 10,596 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 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.............!! 2 1 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,372 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Is that us done for the night? Quote

FireInTheBennelly 4,104 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Didn't know James Reyne was a Dees man. One More River(s). But we still have a long way to go. Welcome to the Demons Trent. 4 1 Quote
Lord Travis 10,819 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 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! 9 Quote

bing181 9,474 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 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 11 Quote
ben russell 764 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 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. 12 Quote
GCDee 3,203 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 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?! 5 Quote

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) 3 Quote

John Crow Batty 8,893 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Some nostalgic Demon names returning from the past in this draft. I like our recruiting this off season. Best for a long time IMO 3 Quote
ben russell 764 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Rivers is best mates with Jackson. Should reduce any potential go-home factor. 5 3 Quote
