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.

    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. 🥹

    Killing it this morning WCW

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
