Excellent news. Very happy with that. 
See? Not all interstate players run back to mum!

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Trent Rivers Latest - signed till 2027
 

Well done, Riv. 👏 And well done MFC. 

 

Great news! He’s a talented and versatile youngster with a big future ahead of him. Glad to lock away a WA talent and tick another box to keep our next core group together. 

Now just need Kozzies signature!

underrated player

played some 2s last year and looks better for it. very well rounded player. skilful, tall, composed. 

love im

What makes you say that?

Because of the size and scope of a potential kozzie contract, and the reality he'd be our clear priority, we simply wouldn't make this move unless we had a level of certainty around what Kozzie is likely to do. 

If we didn't have a clear idea what that contract was going to look like, we'd be holding off on any major extensions as long as we reasonably could. 

Great news! Really like it when players commit early in the year, as opposed to this "put talks on hold" rubbish

Massive news. Rivers despite a down year last year has proven to be an extremely reliable and consistent player across a few different positions. Can't wait to see what he looks like in 4 years time with his development so far.

 

I'm delighted for everyone including myself. I reckon he's a Ripper.

Best 22 member of any other AFL team.  He choose Dees and that speaks volumes for him and the club.

Good work Trent.


Excellent news, has gone up a level this year and feel he will turn into something even more special,  and a great option in the midfield as well

Could that mean that we know he’s gone tho? 😭

What did he see last weekend in Perth that Luke Jackson missed?

Success

Such good news! Was a little concerned about him given he and Jackson were long term friends. Maybe he saw how the WA press have treated Jackson OR maybe he just likes Dees.

That Luke Jackson looks miserable, perhaps?  Rivers doesn't want a bar of that.

They were good mates when drafted together; maybe they have had a good chat!!

this is not just a great signing for the club, it's a really positive sign for the prospects of re-signing Kozzie as well!

Maybe not.

Last year they didn't announce the Brayshaw deal because they wanted some flexibility around the contract until they heard from Jackson. Well in the end they announced the Brayshaw deal and lo and behold 5 weeks later Jackson leaving became public

I really like JJ but as a winger, Hunter is in a totally different league. His gut running, positioning and field kicking are all A grade. JJ is potentially more versatile but as a winger, he is a journeyman.

 For mine, we must keep Kozzie and Rivers. I’d like to keep JJ but if he or even hee and Hames were the price of keeping the other two I’d be okay with it.

Hunter is a specialist winger.

JJ is a utility.

I'm not sure Riv is commanding mega bucks just yet, I'd be surprised if it had any link to Pickett's $

His great form this year just proves last year rushing him back with his knee bandaged was the wrong move. 
Different more mature player who is much more composed and skilful now in traffic.

Congrats Riv you deserve your contract and all the best for the next 5 years. Plenty of success.!!

Yes but as @Jaded No More and @jnrmacposted it could equally mean we know Kossie is going.  Note that we signed Angus long term probably around the time we knew Jackson was going.

Anyway, absolutely tremendous news that Riv has signed on!

there were a few considerations around the Gus deal, our intention last year was always to re-sign both though. i think the difference is there is a possibility we have to pay slightly more than we'd ideally like in order to keep Kozzie, where as we would have paid LJ whatever it took i suspect to keep him 

Very very very great news!

Taking his game to a new level this year, seems to have really improved in the air.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
