Was going to be picked up at the start of the 2nd round until Robertson sliding threw a spanner into the works. Reckon this one will end up as one of the steals of the draft.

that's a great article. Pity we couldn't swap with Port; 12 and 18 (potentially Pickett and Robertson) would have been very nice.

That said, I'm bullish about Rivers. He's a good size with a good kick, and Brisbane have been drafting pretty well; if they rated him at 23 we did well to get him at 32

Superb Debut from the kid.

Has some serious dash, can find it and deliver it well!

We have uncovered a [censored] jet here guys

 

Potentially our first rising star nod for how long?

Was surprised to see him in, but happy for him to stay. Hibbo will need some injuries to occur to get back in.

Edit: Rowell is tearing WC up. 18 disposals an 2 goals to 3 qtr time... Rivers may have to wait for his RS nomination

He got his car crash out the way before arriving at Marvel. Most of his team mates saved it for game time.

Oscar McDonald, Round 21, 2016 was our last nominee. We had three others that year. I’m confident Rivers will get a nod sometime this season.

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!

Was good to see a Rivers across half back again. And he does indeed have a neat kick. We’ve found a long term player here I reckon. Hibberd won’t be back in the side anytime soon if Rivers maintains form!

Kid can play

Excellent debut. He will be back next week. 

Nope, will be dropped for making everyone else look bad.

We've done a lot of trading,  and less drafting early,  since that time IIRC.?

An excellent debut. Showed good run and a well weighted kick but was just as impressed with some of his defensive aspects. Is it too much to have a youngster take the kick ins?

Agree. One goal saving big tackle just outside the square on one of Carltons talls (Casboult?) springs to mind. Love the combination of grunt and polish. 

His skills stand out above the others already. Has poise. I think opposition sides would've watched him last night wishing they had him. Just levels above most blokes in the red and blue already. I actually wish Rivers took all the kick outs. May and Salem need to never take a kick out again. 

Interestingly Hayden Young debuted on the weekend who plays a similar role to what Rivers does. 

Young had 11 disposals 46% disposal efficiency 3 tackles and 92 metres gain.

Rivers had 12 Disposals, 87% disposals efficiency, 2 tackles and 286 metres gain.

They'll both have good careers, but Rivers impact on the game over the weekend cannot be underestimated.

Jeez, I love the composure of this young guy. Solid penetrating kick, good in the air, very good decision maker.

Looks a player

 Jackson, Pickett and Rivers looks like we’ve picked well last season

This trio is already looking like 200 game players. ??????

Trent Rivers is now my pick for best first year player.
 

In his 7 games, he has shown his pace and his skills and his intensity and courage to go at the contest.  His marking is also very good. I will put him automatically in the team across half back.  He can even play on the wing.  He takes the game on. Last night he also took some of the kick ins.  Not safe 15 metre chip kicks. Good clearing kicks.  
 

Good signs so far in his debut season.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
