News Jnr Rioli - He’s back.

[Godfather32]

I’m genuinely curious about this, namely it’s origins and legitimacy

Seen this pop up a few times here from various posters but can’t recall seeing it anywhere else

Given that the club is usually pretty good at keeping this sort of stuff in house, I’m wondering whether the some players wanted him out talk was generated online and grown legs or if it’s legit

One of the guys that works for me is mates with one of the players.
I don't want to name the player because I don't want to get the guy I know in the shit.
To be fair this was only in the week after it all came out in the news so emotions were probably running high, people have probably calmed down by now.

Also I haven't mentioned it before now exactly because I didn't want to add to the rumours going around but now he's back it probably makes no difference.

From the photos his skinfolds don't look great, but did they look great even in 2018? He has 2 months to transform 5kg of fat to 2-3kg of muscle

Rest In Peace Brisbane Lions. this guy has been doing match simulation snaps and drills for 2 years. He is going to make it a special appearance.

Preach. And if there's ever a situation that requires a crawl at pace, Brisbane will fold on sight.

Very exciting but this is only the first step. We haven't been the same team without him that is for sure.

Would you say the Eagles have been soft without their Willie?

That’s fair. Not interested in either the player that’s mentioned it or the players that wanted him out - it’s not an unreasonable position to take even if I’m pleased the decision was made to retain him

Was more curious than anything given the way some shit that gets made up becomes accepted truth

Yeah I'm glad we kept him too but I was pretty angry (like many others) when it first came out. Makes sense that some people from the team would be feeling much the same but even more so because it actually affects them personally.

Round 23, 2018.

The players who wanted him out are probably the ones about to lose their spot when he's back.

Seriously considering flying back and going through quarantine just to hold up a 'we applaud what you've overcone' sign and send our Purple brethren into an absolute tizzy.

Mark Duffield has already written 8000 words on your initial post alone. "Weed Cone Eagles" is his preferred headline.

The first couple of seconds is how I imagine Hutch trying to tag someone like Patty Cripps

saw someone on the changes thread suggest Hutch to tag Bont. The bloke was a very good tagger when het matched up on smaller or outside leaning players.

 

[THE A5]

Looks like Willie and Winder know each other pretty well or they've becomes good mates instantly

Nelson looks super pissed off ehy

Round 23, 2018.

Ump missed a giant throw, nothing new.

 

[lewigie]

Probably around 6kgs overweight hahaha I'm not sure how much "training" he's been doing in the Tiwi islands but fair enough.

 

[WCEswift]

Its not exactly like hes rolled through the club doors looking like relton roberts though

 

[Farang83150]

Any Willie pics at training?

More suited to the Richmond board!

Me to, we could just hold up a huge sign saying..."We love Willy"

How good would it be to have 15 or 20 BF nuffies behind the goals holding 'applaud' type signs? They'd have to put us on the telly.

Then all we'd need is 10-15 years of Willie going off the rails and we'd be immortalised in memes forever. Truly the dream.

There's no end to the childish puns that could be added to signs/banners...probably get kicked out though, whenever I go back to Aust(Perth) the nanny state thing seems stronger than the last time!

Yes, I was surprised to see a substantial paunch on him in one of those photos. From all his earlier Instagram pics and videos, he looked in ripping condition. Not now. What happened there?
