Melbourne Football Club: 10th Best & Fairest  - 416 votes

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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
