    Trent has the right attributes to take his game to the next level. Every now and then in comes a draftee with potential.

    This kid is the real deal.  With a strong preseason under his belt l can see him being a regular breaking the lines in the backline.

    Is one that will take the game on.

    Was rapt when he slid as far as he did in the draft. Got ourselves an absolute bargain.

    He was excellent in his first season and looks as though he will have a long and successful career from here.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if ends up as one of our best midfielders in years to come.

    Can't say enough about Riv just does all the footballers things naturally and without fanfare.

    Will star wherever he plays back it even in the midfield or maybe up forward to win the game.

    Dont be surprised If Trent becomes a leader of the Club with Captaincy right in the mix. 200 plus game legend To look forward to enjoying his magnificent career.

    with only 9 games played in 2020, he should be eligible for the rising star next season?

    should join the likes of - gulp! - jordan gysberts as a player who gets two rising star nominations in consecutive years

    oh, that's right...he didn't get one in 2020...

    A very impressive young player, arguably the most impressive of our three draftees from last year.

    You beat me to it. Best of the three IMHO (and the other two weren’t exactly unimpressive)!

    For a moment I thought this thread might have been about Trent Rivers.

    Great young talent with a lot of upside. I personally think his best footy will be in the midfield, let's see what happens.

    Trent Rivers, Kossie Pickett and Luke Jackson our 3 top picks  in 2019.

     Three fine picks .    FD did their homework on this one.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
