I was speaking to Kate Roffey at a club function and she said Riv really loves the club and can't see him wanting to go anywhere else.

His girlfriend has also just moved from interstate to be with him. He ainโ€™t leaving.ย

Trent Rivers, likely to be rated in the Top 5 at MFC by the end of next year.

That said, I think Judd McVee, in time, will be a better player.

Along with Dan Turner, Blake Howes and Jed Adams our backline looks sorted for quite sometime.

I listened to Mitchell's post game presser - articulate bloke ,clever coach.

He praised Max as a "generational ruckman" but , in what I considered a very interesting comment, he said that Rivers has been "underrated" across the competition.

Mitchell knows. Rivers is an A-grader. Thatโ€™s the kind of form he is in this year.

Rivers is a gun. He has desire, guts, skill, speed and intuition (a great ability to read the game). One of our most valuable players and not far off the likes of Petracca, Oliver and Max.ย

That's a big call. I think they compliment each other in one has dash, agility and strength and the other hasย  poise and flair.ย 

Ultimately i can see Riv move into the midfield as a starting member and McVee being used as a weapon off half back much in the way Salem plays today.ย

Itโ€™s funny with Judd McVee but for some reason he reminds me of a young Hassa Mann type player, has anyone else noticed the similarity and that mark he took over Breust was scintillating stuff.!!!

Do you mean Howes CF?

A young Hassa, ย I can remember a ย 25 year old or about. ย But young ! ย

He joined the club as a 19 yo in 1959 and played in the granny in his first year.!!

When we drafted him, JT's described him as a "real MCG player" (behind the scenes footage video) and was over the moon Brisbane didn't take him.ย 

Excellent foreshadowing. He's good on every ground, but he's a real weapon at the MCG.ย ย

JT has been one of our finest assets. ย Picks them from nowhere.ย

When he was recruited I said he was better than Hayden Young who every man and a dog wanted him.

JT and I were on the same page.

I do remember this being posted after that draft. I was hoping we went for Young instead of Jackson. I still rate Young very highly and would have him on a par with Jackson. But getting Rivers over 20 spots later in the draft shows how good a recruiter JT is.ย 
Itโ€™s why Iโ€™m so excited about our draft hand this year as itโ€™s stronger than what we had in 2019.ย

I'm fairly certain I saw Maginness line up on Rivers at various points in the 4th quarter.

Grammar and [censored]

Some of the kicks Rivers did on the weekend were just a level above anyone else on the ground. 50-60 metre pin point passes. Only player that can get that length AND accuracy is Tex Walker.

So it took them three quarters to make the move? Pretty poor coaching if that's the case.

Maginnes had his hands full with Clayton for the first three quarters, what a scragger.!!

As a start I cannot stand the cats so I feel dirty making the comparison. But as the year has gone on for me the comparison to two of their finest backs becomes stronger. Rivers plays very similar to Andrew Mackie and Judd McVee to Corey Enright. If we could get the careers these two had for the Dees we are well placed for the next decade.ย

Rivers copped a tag in the last quarter. Goodwin acknowledged it and shows how highly regarded Rivers is!

Sure, but he didn't even seem to have a 1v1 let alone a tag in the first 3 quarters. Odd.

He can certainly roost the ball. Saw him at Optus a couple years ago kick the ball I swear it was close to 80 metres. Shame it was a point.

Well I guess they tagged Oliver and had the midfield ascendancy, so it was the right call by Mitchell.ย 

Sadly for Mitchell, we have too many good players and you just canโ€™t tag them all. When they took the tag off Oliver he basically won us the game in 10 minutes. ย

So sad for Hawks ๐Ÿ™„

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
