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.

    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. ?

    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

    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. ?

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
