    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)!

    Game saving tackles in the last minutes of the Essendon and GWS games.  Knows when to go and puts it on the line when needed.

    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: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
