Trent Rivers in the Media

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.

    • Demonland changed the title to Trent Rivers in the Media

    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. ?

    He's the only footballer I've ever heard use 'coalesces' in an interview.

    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

    Consider him as a 'warm-up act'.

    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

    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...

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
