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.

Absolutely.

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:

Been sitting here for twenty mins trying to think of a defence for the poor boy. There isn`t one. Very bad tattoo. But don`t worry JR i got one too !!!!!

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
