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.

 

Outside skill and run, good pick.


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)

Cal Twomey

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: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
