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.

Date of Birth: 30 July, 2001

Height: 188cm

Weight: 85kg

Games MFC 2020: 9

Career Total: 9

Goals MFC 2020: 2

Career Total: 2

Votes 2020 Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Memorial Trophy: 94

 

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. 

 

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.

And kicked the winning goal v Giants !!!!

pickett was unimpressive imo. no point being quick if you can't keep your feet.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

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

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

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • 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.
