That's why this thread is called rumours and speculation though mate. It's a place to speculate on rumours.Look, I'm hoping it's true. It'd be great if we turned up the heat on Peatling after missing out on Luko.
But a lot of rumours only exist as inventions on BigFooty. When there's widespread media coverage every day on trade rumours - anything I read here I think is just make believe until it gets reported somewhere else.
There's been stacks of coverage on suitors for Peatling and we've been completely unmentioned so far. I hope it changes.
Lukosius is going to be better than Motlop, but I remember when the "race" was on for Motlop between Port and Crows. Ultimately he chose Port, and turns out he was on a massively inflated contract that he never delivered on.
It's not surprising. Port's model is to overpay to lure players and trade wanted players for picks to then get needs. It leaves them with top end talent but no depth. I admire their balls, though.

By definition a rumours thread is 80% Bulls**t, but the 20% is so much fun it keeps us all trawling through the nonsense everyday.
So for me it's all fair game until the player is photographed in a new clubs colours
The irony is their list management strength is essentially the root cause of their inability to win finals.Lukosius is going to be better than Motlop, but I remember when the "race" was on for Motlop between Port and Crows.

I may have missed a decimal point20%? You're being very generous here.
There are plenty of people on here that have sources in player management and clubs, I don't understand why you think everyone just makes it up when that absolutely isn't true. I have a mate that works in recruiting at an AFL club, if I get anything I will share it. I know Trigger13 has a mate in player management.Twomey gets his rumours from managers and club leaks. He's notorious for how he ferrets out info.
There is no one on BigFooty who is leaking information they get direct from managers. Mostly it's just people making things up.
No disrespect to Jeffcrowe - who is both an excellent poster and a great middle order bat - but I don't think he was claiming that his source was a manager or someone direct.
Sam Edmund? Genuine source? How is Dawson going at Port?I don't mean reports by a club shill.
I mean a respected footy professional who has direct contact with clubs and managers.
When it's Sam Edmund or similar, I consider that to be info from a genuine source.
Call me naive but I still don’t believe they make stuff up, he’s been given bad information by someone.Are there trolls that just make up stuff too? Yes, but as you've seen with Josh Money, journos can do that too.
Not sure where I said anything about politics.
You keep stanning for the integrity of so called “journalists”.Not sure where I said anything about politics.
There’s a thread for that.
I don’t actually it’s more that if there’s a good story about the crows/bad story about port it gets believed yet the reverse, “it’s all they’re making it up, what would they know.”You keep stanning for the integrity of so called “journalists”.
I’m just pointing out that there are millions of examples of them peddling b******t.
Lol...and you don't believe her?
Maybe some of them are not journalists, but instead are short arsed, teenage-brained middle wits with a cheesy name and cheesier smile who masquerade as someone important in order to disguise their inferiority complex and the embarrassing fact that they barrack for a feral team?I don’t actually it’s more that if there’s a good story about the crows/bad story about port it gets believed yet the reverse, “it’s all they’re making it up, what would they know.”
And what is the evidence that Money made it up and didn’t get fed bad information?
Do you actually believe it's a 7 $million Contract ......not a chance in hellPort are robbing themselves - Now we know why they started the narrative Adelaide offered more.
7 years at $1m per season for a player that kicked 23 goals this year and was dropped
Add Rozee and JHF long term deals, plus Ratugolea on $800k for next for years - no wonder they have no depth.
It will be interesting to see how they retain Butters in two years.

Quite possible with the 30% increase?Do you actually believe it's a 7 $million Contract ......not a chance in hell
I have a slightly used bridge, the owners would take an offer on ....Quite possible with the 30% increase?
Lol, that's very true, and at least it's an ACTUAL rumour.That's why this thread is called rumours and speculation though mate. It's a place to speculate on rumours.

It’s really just some on the edges that get like that though.Lol, that's very true, and at least it's an ACTUAL rumour.
I just think it's funny how emotional this place can get over things that weren't ever real - like, we go from "twitter random" to "it's happening" to "I'm so angry they couldn't get it done" in a heartbeat - meanwhile, the twitter random has moved on to making different shit up for likes ...
Sorry, I don't believe the credibility of anyone here is even remotely close to a Sam Edmund or a Twomey.There are plenty of people on here that have sources in player management and clubs, I don't understand why you think everyone just makes it up when that absolutely isn't true. I have a mate that works in recruiting at an AFL club, if I get anything I will share it. I know Trigger13 has a mate in player management.
Twomey doesn't get better info because he's a journo and he gets fed bad info just like people on here do at times. People that post on here are more likely to get a juicy rumour because they are not a journo with a public profile.
Are there trolls that just make up stuff too? Yes, but as you've seen with Josh Money, journos can do that too.
BACCS you're being ridiculous here.Sam Edmund? Genuine source? How is Dawson going at Port?
