Trent Rivers

The gun defender seems to get better and better each year and added another string to his bow last season when he was shifted to the midfield to cover for the injured Christian Petracca. He did so with stunning results, averaging 23 disposals after making the move, and earning back-to-back three votes in the Brownlow Medal in rounds 17 and 18 to become a key contributor. Finished sixth in the best and fairest.

Honours

AFL Rising Star Nominee (2021), Melbourne Premiership (2021).
