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"

onya Riv.

    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?

    • 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.
