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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
