On the 2021 Melbourne Season Preview on the "Lace Out" podcast I picked him at the start of 2021 as a future Melbourne 200+ gamer & potential captain.

Tracking in the right direction my boy!

Been a bit of draft talk about needing a new wave of midfielder(s) to come through, perhaps we have an A-grader sitting on our half-back flank.

At the end of last year at his exit meeting, he was told that he would be asked to play with more attack. So during the preseason he set about changing his body shape and as a consequence I think he had a brilliant year. At this year's exit meeting he got a 10/10 from all the coaches so he was happy with his season but not how it ended.

He has the flair to be the goal kicking midfeilder we lack


One my favourites of this current team - love his attitude to the game and the club.  

Whilst I understand the ‘temptation’ to get him into the midfield, I think we may have a multiple all Australian  HBFer so I’m all for leaving him there and let him keep improving in that role.

Rivers, Judd and Bowey means we’re all but set for backline smalls for the next 10 years.

Don't we have Blake Howes who should be pushing into Rivs spot so that Riv can move to mid or fwd?

Riv is not a small really Judd and Bowser are. 

 

I could be wrong but I don't think he has the agility to be a top line mid.  

Can develop into one of the best back flanker's in the game though. 

Riv is becoming of my favourites - dash, courage, intent, disposal accuracy as well as distance.   (A hell of a long way back but a bit reminiscent of Tony Anderson #11 of the 1964 Premiership team)

Yes, if Bowey McVee and maybe Howes continue to develop, and Salo recovers his fitness and form, I could see him as a very damaging midfielder.  Quick, evasive hard tackler and booming kick.

The only slightly sour point in the interview (made just before the Collingwood QF of course) was his modelling his game on Maynard 😮😮😮.  I hope he has changed that little bit.

Jake is 5’9”, Judd is 6’1” and Riv is 6’2”, so Riv is a good medium size player same size at Fritsch.

Trent Rivers is one of those players who really grows on you, he just keeps getting better. The coaches haven’t put a ceiling on him and neither should we, top 10 this year. Tough, fast, disciplined courageous, skilful, a lot of love in the team for and from Riv. I love him off the halfback line, rarely beaten and a critical link player for us. Someone mentioned Future All Australian and I tend to agree.!!

Totally agree. He seems a really humble and nice kid, too, which I love seeing at the club. His season was fantastic, a real highlight for us this year. Here's to a great year ahead in '24, Riv! 

Cane Cornes will be telling us all he desperately wants to go home asap.  
Oh, wait, he isn’t from Adelaide so he probably hasn’t heard of him.

Yeah, Tony Anderson, one of my all time greats.

  • 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

    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.

    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.
