A sensational draft period for the Dees, well done to Jason Taylor and his team.

Awesome build up going into 2020.

Welcome back to a great surname

"Rivers what a mark"

    There are a lot of self proclaimed draft experts here - I’m not one of them, but if we were keen enough on Kozzie to have used pick 8 originally (and no-one knows for sure if this is the case), then Rivers is a free set of steak knives. Seems like they executed a good trading strategy.

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

    MFCSS: or they'll prove a constant reminder for one another of their wonderful former life back home.

    Is it just me, or are others concerned that we have just drafted 3 young men from interstate? We lost Jesse Hogan because of the go home factor, so why would these guys be any different? We have seen Geelong lose Kelly for the same reason, Dangerfield left Adelaide. Probably countless others. Hope I am wrong, but the warning signs are there

    You clearly haven’t looked at the breakdown of interstate players on our list, let alone the list of every other club in Australia.

    If they leave they leave, you can’t confine yourself to just Victorian selections off the back of selective player choices.

    I think it’s a bit of paranoia, which is fair enough after the years of Hogan ‘will-he-won’t-he’ drama.  As far as I can see, we currently have 13 players on our list who were drafted from interstate.

    These three newbies will be part of a group of sixteen interstate players at the club who can empathise and support each other.

    Confirming your hope..... You're wrong.... chill time.  

    So many interstate players that are not playing in their native towns remain at their new clubs far outweigh the odd couple that want to shift back.

    The best mates thing worked out well with Trenners and Tappy so fingers crossed this one does as well.

    Seriously does it really play a factor at a good footy club (GCS excluded of course)?

    Others who come to mind are Trac & Brayshaw, Jetta & Bennell, and also ANB & Stretch.  (And, of course, the ones we SHOULD have had -- Viney & Wines...!)

    Not sure what you’re trying to say V, how have any of those stopped a “go home factor” because they drafted a gun then a mate later on?

    Seems quick with his decision making but what stands out the most are those Red boots. I preferred the Black Pumas when I played. Congrats and Welcome Trent.

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

    Goodbye go home factor.

    Not quite junior club DD, That's their WAFL Club

    Rivers is from Willetton Junior Footy Club same as Kane Lucas, Aaron Sandilands, Shaun Mcmanys, Dom Cassisi, Rhys Palmer and Richard Hadley 

    Jackson hails from Bullcreek Leeming who produced a couple of Brownlow Medalists/Premiership guns in Simon Black and Ben Cousins 

    Rival clubs from the South East of Perth right next to each other, so you're correct no go home factor all 3 new interstate boys can bond together

    There’s a nice little clip which I’m having trouble posting here for some reason on the club’s social pages of Trent and his family reacting to his name being called out. Judging by his reaction it took a while to sink in he’s now an AFL player.

    The best reaction came from the family dog, thought it was going for a walk.

    Maybe Rivers swapped teams late because he's listed as Bullcreek-Leeming all through pre draft stuff and there's stats for him playing a lot of juniors there. But might not have crossed paths with Jackson until WAFL juniors?

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
