Trent seems like a very well grounded and articulate young fella, as well as being a gifted, hard working, fast learning and courageous footballer.  He was drafted at the perfect time be an important part of an exciting journey with the MFC.

I sometimes think how lucky are these kids to have been picked up by the Dees just as we become a true premiership contender.

Then I smack myself up the side of the head and consider that this new bunch may very well have tipped the balance from mid-table battlers, to a top of the ladder team.

So many first to third year players, stepping in and playing like veterans. Legacy building work from Jason Taylor, Tim Lamb and team.

Love that Choco has the younger players researching the MFC's past players. What an acquisition. Well spoken, Trent.

You keep smacking yourself Faulty and you'll get concussion...

I loved this too Adam. Hate to look too far forward, given where we’ve come from; but these are the combined actions of an elite footy club. Nice that individual excellence is noticed and rewarded, but they one and all sound grounded by the team and structure. I’m loving where this is headed.

Seems to always pop up in the background on the telly after we kick a goal with a big smile on his face. He’s enjoying his footy like all of them.

This can't be underestimated. One of my questions I submitted for the zoom meeting they did last year was what sort of induction into the club do new recruits undertake? I think it's important they get schooled on the history of the club to make them appreciate where they are, develop their love for the club and make it more of a footy club rather than just a team.

Great to hear Williams is doing this with the new recruits.

This is a great article. I especially like that Trent lives with Luke Jackson in the home of Mr and Mrs Brayshaw, Gus and his brothers, ‘not Gus’ and ‘also not Gus.’ What a household that’d be. ?

Fantastic young player and already a very important part of the 22. My only knock on River's is that my wife finds him quite attractive

Haha!  Not trying to pick on you Smokey.

It's bad enough that so many nuffies think that plurals (or any word ending in an "s") require an apostrophe, but inserting one into a player's name is beyond the pale. 

Same goes for the cringeworthy but ubiquitous "Go Dee's".  No apostrophe required!

That hereby ends today's grammar lesson from Demonland's  resident pedant.  :D

Good article in The Age today about our boy Trent.

Backman to the future: Young Demon Rivers getting a kick out of footy

(Note to mods: might want to change the thread title to "Trent Rivers in the media")

Trent has gone from ‘riotously celebrating’ West Coasts prelim win in 2018 to playing an integral part in the side they beat. You have to love the stuff life deals up.

Even if you were referring to the rivers, the apostrophe shouldn’t be there. Soz, if @demonstoneis a pedant, then consider me a ball-breaker. 
You can take the girl outta proofreading but you can’t take, etc. ?

Further on that Trent Rivers article, and this is a serious question, what does Baum mean by “D” when he says...

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
