Continued the growth in his stature at the club, showing his versatility in defence mixed with some good runs in the middle. Watch out for him in 2024.

    Trent Rivers another great pickup for the club, just keeps on getting better in every aspect of his game. Tough, courageous, skilled and a loveable member of our team, my wife picked him on draft night to be a real winner for us and she was right. Seeing him hold the Cup and saying we want another one next year was so refreshing.

    Potentially an absolute gun. Play this bloke in the midfield he has the ability to step up.

    Well said CF.

    One of my favorite players

    Don't think we've seen his best yet either.

    Could do a lot of damage in the middle with his burst of pace and ability to find players by foot.

    Keen to see him develop some more this year. Him, Petty, Jvr and Kozzie.

    Had a break out year. Hoyne was correct in bringing him up as one of our most dangerous weapons towards the end of the year with his penetrative kicking that was hitting targets better than anyone else on our team. The opposition noticed and put the clamp on him. All the more important to have some other break out players who can step up, and give us similar run and disposal, so we have more weapons in our arsenal, If Rivers dont get ya, _____ will! etc

    Hard to believe he's still only 22 years old

    An enormous future on the back of really stepping it up last season

    Agree with others, he needs midfield time 

    Rivers, Sparrow & McVee are the future and all 3 are capable of being creative and dynamic.  If Bowey, Salem & Langdon get their mojo back as well, lookout

    I would absolutely be putting Rivers in the centre square this year. Great player.

    His body has matured and will put his name forward to be an elite player this season.

    Like Sparrow his powerful boot makes him a real threat playing in the midfield. No concerns about connecting with the forwards when you can have a shot from 60 metres.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
