Who is that top left?

Was wondering same thing....the guy standing next to River? No idea

 

[Samsquanch]

Who is that top left?

It's inevitable that this photo will appear on Facebook as one of those pathetic ghostly apparitions in the background stories ("When you see it...").

 

[SunnyBoner]

Sorry if it's been posted already but any reason why he only played a few TAC games this year? Was he injured?

Mumma Kel still in good nick

Kelli and her bloke run the F45 in Echuca.

I should know this, but is Kelli not with stevo any more? I thought they broke up but then got back together.

considering River was born in 2006, I think that's a safe bet

Haven’t really answered my question though. They are not together ?

They rekindled things post affair and moved to Echuca after Stevo retired. River would've been born there. But they split up quite a while ago.

Kelli has another bloke and a 7 year old daughter with him.
Stevo was engaged to netballer Sarah Wall and moved to Geelong. Think that is over now, but he's stayed down there and had primary custody of River.

I am sharing these thoughts and words as have been on my mind for awhile now.
I feel now is an appropriate time.

The past is where it belongs………..behind us.

As parents, our choices, challenges, and lessons have shaped us, but they are ours to own and grow from. They do not define our children or their journeys. They are on their own life path.

My son, River, is stepping into an incredible chapter of his life with the North Melbourne Kangaroos.

This is his journey, his dreams, his challenges, his triumphs.

Let’s support and celebrate the future he is building for himself, free from the shadows of the past.

Life is about learning, growing, and supporting each other to find joy and happiness.

The future is full of possibilities, and we all deserve to move forward with hope and positivity.

Xx
Rivers proud Mumma

Don’t really know if she had to say that but I guess she’s after the limelight still

She probably just would like to be able to go to games and not be the cause of stuff that will make him uncomfortable.

Actually didn’t read that like that at all. I read it as a mother wanting her son to live his dream without stuff from the past being brought up…….stuff that has nothing to do with River and fulfilling his personal dreams.

Steevo and cunners had a bit of a cattle venture down rhat way as well. Angus cattle iirc.

Maybe river can run a few blacks if afl dont work out for him.

We sent 24 head off to market today. Hope they go close to 1k ea.

Everyone feel free to get down to the koonwarra market tomorrow.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Well said by Kelli. I get the feeling Wayne was trying to say the same thing but it comes out different from a caveman compared to an articulate mum.

Caveman? Articulate mum?

Yep, no doubt in my mind that this is what Kelli intended.

How come beef is so expensive if you’re getting 1/3rd of what you got three years ago?

Export markets and the supermarket duopoly still dominates meat sales. You get used to it, you keep paying.

 

[Makeshift Park]

You blokes got any good paddock to the plate suppliers to recommend?

that period was a bit of an anomaly, mostly due to the restock after the drought, people just wanted to get back into the game, Like Lomas we had a herd of dairy cross cattle back then that were not a lot more than 130kg ea and got like 800 a head for them at the time, thats the same as a 300kg prime beefie atm,
