Green’s already got one so it Rivers’ to lose for this round.

 

 

So he has, I tried to look it up on the AFL website but seems to be missing a few rounds. The whole site is a dogs breakfast and difficult to navigate.

    So impressed by this kid. A real Jason Taylor special. Well done, Melbourne.

    He reminds me quite a bit of Zac Williams, which is ironic given some want us to go after Williams.

    When I think of Trent, I think of him, on the field, 

    from a first person lens

    looking down field at the tall white sticks

    while a floater off the left from 35

    and a never wavering off the right from just in 50

    sail through

    for the next decade.

    Time and time

    and time and time

    again

    And it brings a warm glow to my soul

    This bought tears to my eyes, but that might be because you're an onion.

    Claimed him as my boy from from the moment we drafted him.

    Have been saying that while all the draft hype was on Jackson and Pickett, this is is as good if not better then both. 

    Absolute steal who i rated in the top 20.

    I was sold on him the minute he was touted as a good kick running out of defence. Very classy player - seems well and truly at home at this level.

    Tom Green had an excellent game last night but as he has been nominated already there is an excellent chance Rivers will get the nod this week.

    Not just for his overall game but the composure and quick thinking he showed to kick the critical goal that gave us a lead we could defend to win the game.

    Can't remember us recruiting a kid defender who looks as poised as Riv in his first year. His maturity is beyond his years and has not looked out if place since his first game. 

    Has already become one of those players who make you relax when he has the footy.

    I think his future may be on a wing which would be excellent. He has good speed but he’s also quite strong. He brings different qualities to Langdon. Whenever he was running into the middle yesterday he made things happen. 
    He’s a gem.

    Yup, hes too good to be sitting in a back pocket minding  a player.  Will be a very attacking half back or a winger.

    It made my sad heart sing

    The loveliest hand I've ever held

    Four aces and a king'

    Didn't we recruit another young kid called Rivers who won the rising star award in his first season??

    Great talent. Kicked 2 crucial goals and showed more composure doing so than most of our senior players!

    Seen enough from Rivers, Jackson and Pickett to think we have 3 serious players  add in Langdon we have had a pretty good draft trade period in 2019

    Makes me even more confident that Jason Taylor and his crew will find another gem in our first pick.

    He not only looks like he belongs but it's apparent to me that he thinks he belongs. A huge level of confidence for a kid and invaluable in his development. Never seems to drop his head.

    He has all the tools to become a great. There aren't many flaws. He is a player many clubs will kick themselves not taking. Great kick, above average balance, willingness to take the game on, good athlete, well coordinated, performs under pressure, makes the right decisions. I could go on. Kid is special.

    Forget the nomination, he’ll be odds on to win the thing next year!

    A very composed game from the youngster who is quietly having an excellent debut season. Is he in the mix for a Rising Star nomination?

    Give him the nod, he was superb (has been all season) and to kick two goals off half back including the match winner.

    If only Rusty! 5 weeks without a drink, on the back of covid restrictions, whilst supporting Melbourne.... thought I'd punish myself!

    In all seriousness, it's one of the best decisions I've made in a long time, and I'm a somewhat healthy 40 something year old.

    Sorry folks, all of a sudden, Sholl from the Crows might be more likely to be nominated this week. 24 touches and 2 goals against the Blues.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
