    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
