Zero Hanger has been around the grounds and across the latest news in the first week of training in 2026.
A frustrating litany of injuries has overshadowed a few magnets which have been shifted, providing insight into which positions players could lineup in 2025.
Trent Rivers (Melbourne Demons)
Defence to midfield
Rivers was observed by Zero Hanger as part of the midfield group at Melbourne's training on Wednesday. It follows a season spent in defence, with his running capacity and ability to chain possession on the outside set to be critical in a midfield that will have plenty of big-bodied options.
Rivers did, however, spend last pre-season training as a midfield before reverting to the position where he has started his career.
