2025 Player Reviews: #24 Trent Rivers

Featured Replies

 

Went backwards as a mid this year but seemed to spend much less time in the role.

Didn't seem to have a great year.

But how many did?

Hope he tears it up in 2026.

Would like to see him train as a mid this off season and get him ready for a huge midfield role next season, has the perfect combination of an inside outside mid

Yep

Sums up the team and makes you wonder if next year will be any different.

Ageing backline, non functioning forward line and one dimensional midfield.

If we put Petty in defence than with him and Turner it's young.

I'm sure King won't persist with that old madness.

Today is world rivers day. I salute you Trent Rivers!

It feels as though Trent still has another gear or two left in him.

I don't want to say he's stagnated, but it's clear that playing him primarily off half back hasn't done his development much good when he's shown tremendous ability in the midfield.

Here's hoping King can bring out the best in Rob next season and onwards.

 

i think he'll be strongly tempted with a move home in two years, he seems to always be sniffing around one whiff of midfiekd minutes and he'll be off, likely will be the same time JOM is ready to hang them up for the dockers

He did train as a mid,Goody and the fd didn't use him,sure he makes a few mistakes but when the session was lost thats when they had a free hit

Yeah ik was excited to see him in the mid, I understand we had a few injuries in the backline at the beginning of the year, but would of liked to have seen us trust our back depth rather then throw rivers back to defence

  • 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.
