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.

we have precious few of those presently HB

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.

Outstanding !!

How about this

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 little early to be on the sauce EO

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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
