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?

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
