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.

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
