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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
