Rumour Rumours and Scuttlebutt in the Media - Who to believe???

[silverscope]

Tom Morris wrote an article earlier in the week all but saying it's done Brad Hill will request a trade.

AFL trade news 2019: Melbourne quashes any possibility of rival play for Angus Brayshaw

Dees shut down bold rival club bids for in-demand mid

www.foxsports.com.au

Not even the carrot of Brad Hill — who will request a trade to Victoria after Round 23 — will be enough for the Demons to ship Brayshaw off to Perth to join his younger brother Andrew.

Now he specifically says at the end of round 23. Brad Hill came out today and said he wont be requesting a trade.

A - Brad Hill is goneski
B - Tom Morris showing clueless he is. Brayshaw would be crumbs in a Hill trade.

Just wondering when it comes to player movement which journalists are pretty reliable & have a good track record?

Can you prove there track record?

So who should we take notice of when they say something & who should we stay clear of?

Help me get reporters predictions by tagging me & your proof of what they've said... Cheers,

I like the idea of keeping track...let's keep a running tally and we'll really see who actually might have some intel vs those who just throw darts

add the Burgoyne rumour to that list and Stephen Hill to GC

 

[BBC1967]

After the Pies rumours this week and Eddie's protests should all journos be accountable to AFL integrity unit? Including Eddie himself? Eddie not adverse to airing rumours himself.

My take on things.
1. Players managers leak non truths to the media to put pressure on clubs in negotiations.
2. Media read the tea leaves and make guesses. Sometimes right, sometimes right
3. Media people are paid to get the most clicks, ratings or sales. They need to say anything outlandish true or not.
4. Very rarely that get reliable information but it does happen.

So Stephen Hill re-signs for 2 more years. I can't seem to remember who, I'll have to look for it tonight, but I remember some media predicted he would sign with Gold Coast.

Interstate club set sights on Freo speedster

Stephen Hill might be yet to play a game in 2019 but a rival club is reportedly prepared to offer him a three-year deal worth almost $2 million.

You cv j

Fact-checking rumours and predictions is a good concept for a thread, but please be careful when quoting "ITK" posts.

This thread is not exempt from the cross-quoting rule, so please do not quote them here unless they've posted in the DTFA.
