Cant wait to get him back. Hopefully his 100% soon and can have a big pre season.

Bring on '09.

    Once again a footballer is tragically struck down with a horrible tattoo.

    He's lucky he's an awesome footballer, because that tattoo is disgraceful!

    Fancy getting your own name tattooed all over your back... just how drunk was he when this piece of magic was permanently engraved on his body?! :o:wacko:

    Regardless of his shocking taste in tattoos, it's good to hear he is getting daily treatment for torn abdominal/groin muscles (ouch!) and that he thinks he'll be right to go next year. I'm looking forward to the return of a fit and firing Rivers (and yes, I'm a believer).

    in a way it might be a good thing that he 'tore' some muscles rather than just aggrevated some more injuries. it is forcing him to sit around and do absolutely nothing while they heal. he is also seeing a specialist in the region of the op stuff so hopefully he is making sure everything is right to go.

    it looks like he is having a forced 3-4 month lay off which should be good for his recovery.

    i wonder if the time in SA will affect his 'go home' switch in anyway? it could reignite the latent want to return home, or it could satisfy the craving to spend more time back home...

    It could probably go either way.

    However, I'm sure he's built a life for himself in Melbourne, and it's probably good that he's able to get away from the Club and spend some time catching up with friends and family while doing the rehab work, rather than sit around in Victoria while his peers are involved with footy.

    If he can get his body right, he'll be a handy 'recruit' in '09.

    Agree. Why do they do it? :wacko:

    Fancy getting your own name tattooed all over your back... just how drunk was he when this piece of magic was permanently engraved on his body?! :o:wacko:

    So drunk he might know even realise its there or how he got it. :lol: I have often wondered what attention seeking gene it is to have a loud tattoo that you cant see but everyone else can

    Regardless of his shocking taste in tattoos, it's good to hear he is getting daily treatment for torn abdominal/groin muscles (ouch!) .

    Once recovered he will be fit enough to have "Such is life" circumferencing his navel in gothic lettering. :D

    While this is known world-wide as the worst tattoo ever, it's a bit like a car crash, ugly but you just can't look away... might have something to do with the placement of said tattoo. He could have a giant tattoo of Elmo smoking a joint on his lower abdomen and it still wouldn't look so bad :unsure:

    Please tell me that tatt on his back does not say "rivers"

    Oh lordy lord it does too!

    Anyway, I've already forgiven him.

    I really hope they can strenghthen his core. If he can come to preseason fully fit and ready to train we're basically recruiting a gun backmen for 09.

    Let's hope the damage can heal, I guess I have my doubts but I'm really hoping he comes good. Adding his courage and talent to our backline as a 3rd or even 4th quality player would give us a bloody good back half.

    FB: Whelan Warnock Rivers

    HB: Buckley Martin Garland

    Also: CJohnson, Bell, Frawley

    Maybe even putting Garland up forward next to Watts

    FF: Wona Miller Maric

    HF: Sylvia Watts Bate

    Also: Newton (possibly wishful thinking), Davey

    Maybe even Zomer

    Is it starting to look good or am I so one eyed that I just love 'em all

    I'll need help deciding that but this looks pretty good

    If we do get Watts, I would not expect much out of him in his first year given he wants to focus on his VCE year in 2009.

    More longer term.

    Oh goodness, are you serious? Someone needs to get down there and straighten them out. :wacko:

    It's in case they forget their names... they can chase their own back trying to identify who they are after a big night out :lol:

    Apparently, Jared woke up in the morning, looked at in the mirror and then realised that they'd written his name backwards.

  • Quote

    Yep, looks like rivers,

    nothing wrong with getting your family name, most just get it done with the family crest, like riccutio has.

    Any truth in the rumour that he's got a tattoo even lower that says "wrong way go back"?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
