    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
