Another leaving the dogs. When father sons are walking out there has to be a problem at the club.

So many problems. Let’s pack up shop.

Can we now name and shame the media flogs saying he was gone to Brisbane.

I don't think there was any.

Nah there was a few in Melb

On SEN?

On SEN?

AFL Update on Facebook literally confirmed he was going to Brisbane yesterday. There goes any semblance of credibility they may have had

I don't think rumour pages on Facebook should really be referred to as part of the media

They have over 200,000 followers. They are a fairly major "media" outlet with a ton of reach, they've basically passed the status of being just a rumour page (although this latest event shows they really don't deserve the following they have)

If you believe a post like that then you're pretty stupid. It's a usual page for getting news from other sources but that's it .

Oh don't worry, I never believe anything that doesn't come directly from the club's these days. More often than not, it's wrong

Bad news Dogs fans then.

Or not

3 years according to the AFL website

My info this morning was that he was signing today. Didn't know we had increased the offer to three years.

I’d say that’s what got him over the line then. We were pretty confident of landing him on Monday. Congrats Doggies.

I hope you guys get Neale. IF you do, should be looking at finals or really close to it.

bato runs it man. It's not media

Settle down. I’ve admitted to my mistake, apologised to the “200,000 followers” and moved on. My mistake wasn’t believing a reliable source, it was not factoring in that Mitch Wallis had other intentions with his visit and contact with Brisbane. I took a gamble and got burnt - just like the great story of Icarus.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Damage control

 

[ManOfClay]

At least bato fronted up and put his hand up.


Calling Wild Bill

Damage control

Could have easily let it slide under the rug like every single AFL journalist has (at some stage) when proven wrong.

I would rather be truthful and up front with an audience that took years of hard work to build.

His intentions were to hear them out. Pretty much exactly what I wrote a while back. He's an astute individual. He will listen to all angles before confirming a decision.

Making contact and meeting, doesn't mean he is signing.

If that is the case, then I truly apologise for misjudging his character. Learnt a valuable lesson and gained experience from this simple error in judgement by my source. We’ll be more careful next time.

Kudos to you bato , not many people on here or in everyday life for that matter admit they were wrong or made a mistake/error of judgment.

I will now be following you on Facebook.

The guy admits to guessing and then blames his error on a 'simple misjudgment by his source'.

For me this guys 'work' is in the same category as the social media 'journos' like Tony Sheehan, ie social media white noise that is effectively average creative writing not worth any attention to until proven otherwise

So he’s flying off to the Suns now
