Riv feels like another of our young brigade who should end up a 200+ gamer. Has been very impressive in his first two seasons across HB, plays with a ton of composure, is a good interceptor, has speed off half back, a long kick and plays with heart. Looking forward to many more great games from our #24 whether down back or in the midfield. Stupid sexy Riv.

And along with bowey imagine how good these kids will be at 25 after playing alongside and under May and Lever support and leadership. SALEM ALSO in that role.

His upside is huge considering he was playing his 34 game in the GF and his position in the side was never in question thru out the season.

I still think he will become a wingman in the future because he has that attacking flare for such a young man.


I agree I’d like to see him on the wing in future. He’s the longest kick in the side with a booming hoof. That can be really damaging. 

What a player.

Doesn't get the headlines of the other two from that magnificent draft but does his job well week in, week out. Provides excellent release from the backline, an excellent tackler and a good midfield rebounder.

Has become one of my favourite players.

Big future, love the kid.

Wife reckons he gives Matthew Mcconaughey a run for his money as well.

Your wife is confusing Matthew McConaughey with Heath Ledger:

My wife thinks the same😀. Trent Rivers is a very confident and competent young man, he has taken AFL in his stride and has made us a better team. I love his competitiveness his toughness, controlled aggression and his booming kick coupled with his team first values. Top effort young man.💕❤️💙


And can the boy lay a tackle!!!

Sometimes I think, You’ve no business dragging these very experienced players to the ground so perfectly, young man! 😁

Love, love, love Riv. ❤️💙

Another one for whom it is difficult to understand how he is playing so well so early in his career. No flash in the pan either - he has been playing at his same level for 2 seasons. 

I thought the 1st quarter of the final against Brisbane, he was fumbly and nervous. But he was as solid as a rock after quarter time and hardly put a foot wrong for the rest of the campaign. 

A bit of run and carry, a bit of bravado, a wonderful kick, and as tough as old nails. How could you not love this bloke! I may even be tempted to move one of my all time favourite Dees - Brett Lovett - out of half back in my best ever Dees 22. 

As other posters have suggested, Trent plays well beyond his youth and experience, and handles the ‘big occasions’ with aplomb ……… Messrs. May and Lever ‘take a bow!’  Seems to have red and blue blood in his veins, and is another whose signature we should be seeking at an early date.  Great kid!  Great recruiting!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
