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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
