2020 Player Reviews: #24 Trent Rivers

Strong bodied youngster with all of the attributes to make it at the elite level. Plays well in defence but is versatile enough to play in most positions on the ground. Much will be expected from him in the years to come.

Future gun in my opinion

A proper footy player with some good skills

Cannot wait to see him develop

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. 

Our third best midfielder

How good is this kid!

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.

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.

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...

He's a 200+ game player. Hopefully all with the Dees.

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. 

Agree with all of the above Trent Rivers burst onto the scene like Yze and Tingay, they just stand out from the crowd, natural footballer, skilled has pace also tough & brave, what a pick up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
