Congratulations to Trent 'Not Jared' Rivers who will line up for game no. 100 against Collingwood on Friday night. He's set to become only the fourth player from his draft year so far to crack the ton after Noah Anderson, Caleb Serong and of course, our very own Kozzy Pickett!

Based on his midfield performances this year, I think it's safe to assume that he's only scratched the surface of what he's capable of and that the next 100 games are going to be pretty exciting to watch. 

Here's a quick snapshot from early in his career where he booted his first AFL goals (including the match-winner) at the Gabba in a thriller against the Giants!

What are your favourite moments from Trent's career to date?

    Rivs developing well. Future captain material. My son was born few days before this match and watched it in hospital, always will remember that crazy, bending goal to seal it by Riv and thought to myself 'this has been a good week' 😍 Here's to many more games in the red and blue ❤️💙

    I hope this kid has a large wardrobe, because I see an AA jacket or two in his future.

    Really love watching him develop.

    Should be banned from ever attempting a kick that goes less than 40 metres, nevertheless he will be our next CHAMPION midfielder!

    Pick 32 from memory?!

    Amazing recruitment and development 

    He is such a confident man. Has the height and skill to be a gun mid and mr. utility as well. 

    A key piece of the puzzle

    My ‘big call’ a few years back was that he would be the best of our ‘19 Draft haul.  A few bumps along the way but he has shown he has the potential to a be an a-grade midfielder on this year’s form.

    Seems to love the club and the fans love him too!

    @WalkingCivilWar special banner coming this Friday? Imagine it'll include ANB and BBB.

    … and Riv’s 100th which is very worthy of celebration 🥳

    The club will provide the content tomorrow and we’ll make it tomorrow night.

    I just love watchimg the unbridled attack, driving of legs and finding his way into space.  Plus the smile and the enthusiasm he brought to the club. 

    Sensational.

    Yes he 'has been' a tad wayward with the disposal at times.

    But i've seen the signs, especially after being moved into the middle, that he's been working on this aspect and slowly starting to turn the corner.

    It's been an amazing 100 and hard to believe really.  A flag in that lot as well and played an integral part of it throughout the 2021 season.

    A bit of an off year in 2022 but hit back hard in 2023 which is a good sign of a player maturing upstairs and understanding what's required at this level.

    Followed that up with another solid season so far.

    Congrats young Riv.  Hope to see your happy face on the podium again at some point.

    Been one of my personal favourite recruits since he joined. Loved his development to this point, only see bigger things for him in the near future.

    Seems like the first 100 have come up in no time.  Could potentially become another 300 game champion of the club.

    Would really love to see him used in more attacking goal kicking roles rolling through from midfield and letting his raking left foot set sail for home from outside 50.  Is a perfect give to handball for players from a stationary position/fee kick/mark 55m out as well and would like to see him do more of that.

    It doesn’t seem that long ago that we celebrated his 50th. Now we’re celebrating ‘100 Dashing Games’ ❤️💙

    He's a right footer though.

    Congratulations Trent Rivers your first 100 seems to have come up so quick, young Premiership player who made the back flank his own, now pushing into the midfield and owning that as well. Trent plays with intent, tough, hard, fast, intelligent and skilled with a great personality and love of our club. What’s not to love about this young man.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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.
