Where's this rumour about Riv coming from?

I love these rumours.  A reliable source tells me  that WCW is moving to the C'wood cheer squad in 2025.

    I saw on socials this deal has already been signed off.

     

    I can tell by her posts she has one foot out the door already. Dogga vibes all over it.

    If he's not allowed to get his heart rate above 110. I wouldn't recommend that he has a match day role.

    My heart rate hits 180 every turnover.

    I also wouldn't recommend he join in the game day thread on Dland.

    I wouldn't recommend that to anyone who wishes to preserve their sanity.

    All good. After training I walked past the coffee shop and Alejandro, my gorgeous Colombian barista called out for me to come back. He realised he’d given me the wrong drink so I got a cappuccino on the house. Ergo our season is still salvageable 😁

    Meanwhile, somewhere in the Richmond area an upset customer is still waiting for their almond latte.

    No, that’s how Alejandro knew he’d given me the wrong drink. He said a woman came back and was very angry about having been given my cappuccino. I said well if that’s her biggest problem, she’s doing well. Hashtag some people 🙄

    No one is supposed to know that! What gave it away… having every second tooth pulled? Having not showered in a week? My I Love Eddie tatt? I know! You saw me hocking my son’s PS5 at Cashies then immediately calling my associate’s burner phone.

    I reckon being back in the club environment is just as important for him. We know that he will regain his physical form, but it's the mental side of things that will be hardest to overcome.

    I hope now that he's back in Melbourne and back at the club, that he is given a match day role for the remainder of the year. Would be good for him to feel involved again.

    Match day role? You did read the part where he can’t get his heart rate up? 🤓

    Jeffo’s height on the website is 195cm. He’s now 197cm. Calm down Pickett, he thinks that’s it… he’s not gonna grow anymore.

    edit: PF, while I’ve got you and you’re calm… Claz again said for as long as Melbourne wants him he’s staying. He has no desire to leave whatsoever. I asked him if he’s confident Melbourne wants him and he said he’s doing all he can to “do the righty” by the club and they’re happy with him. 

    How tall is he when he stands up straight though?

    Tracc ambled around the boundary for maybe 10 mins then went back to the rooms. He seemed really happy to be out here, I reckon the boys were also glad he was here. As were all us spectators ❤️💙

    Just seeing Tracc on the grass would be uplifting.

    Yep your eyes don’t deceive you! It’s our very own CP5!

     

     

    ❤️💙

    Question does that mean he has not cracked the sads with the Dee’s and is not going to train somewhere else in 2025. 
     

    I will take it as a good sign

    I was talking to one of the trainers. He told me Jeffo really looks up to a certain player and this player is a role model for him. I was waiting to hear a seasoned player’s name. But no, it’s Rooey, who’s only 11 months older than him and that might just be the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. 🥹

    Not much footage today. I had to bin a couple of vids because I unwittingly had slo-mo on 🤭

    Note: I included the first vid because it’s a little reminder that these boys are human and have feelings. So, Clarrie came into the tent and went straight to someone’s toddler, picked him up and cuddled him. I filmed the end of it. When I stopped filming I said, “That suits you Claz.” He said, “Yeah, hopefully one day,” and it was sweet and a little sad at the same time.

    Thanks @WalkingCivilWar, champion effort as usual.

    Notes: Ben Brown in ‘trainers blues’ rather than team reds?  I understand his knee must be problematic, but is he likely to be around the club in a different capacity next year?  he seems like a ripping bloke, and we could do worse.

    Ollie Sestan’s bum looks too close to the ground.  

    Great to see CP5 not getting too excited.

    Is that not his bestie George Gawn, aka the traitor who sings opposition team songs? 😂

    Yes, it was George, except it’s Jorge when it’s Max saying it. Jess says at first it was novel and funny but now it’s a thing. 😅

    Apparently George/Jorge knows the words to most of the Club songs but the Carlton one is his favourite. 🙃

    BBB is still an assistant coach with our W team so he’ll be around for that. He loves that role.

    Neither of his legs were strapped which is a rare sight. And yes, he’s a ripping bloke. For so many reasons he’s a beautiful human being.

    Agree with you on Sesto’s bum. He has such a low centre of gravity. Makes bringing him down in a tackle difficult. I’ve noticed this in training.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
