Rumour Another H Sun Rumour - Nick Riewoldt, no naming other names or cards will fly.

[anabac]

Herald article. Surely not old St Nick

"Give Melbourne a couple of good summer months and the rumour mill is flying faster than the Sherrins at pre-season training.
But where to start?

The one about the high profile and costly split of a footy industry powerbroker?

Hmmm. How about the one about the former footballer who was enjoying a growing, stellar career off the field.

Headhunted and poached by TV networks, the post footy world was at his feet. Well, until it wasn’t.

While it’s always been known he was prickly at the best of times when the cameras weren’t filming, it’s no secret the so-called family man was not seen as a “great bloke” by the AFL boys club.

Which would be the reason why there was some glee, scrap that, jubilation, in the constant chatter about his shock decision to turn his back on the media landscape.

Turns out it was his extra-curricular activities off camera, with some rather choice words delivered to him behind closed doors, which was the real reason to pivot away from the shining showbiz lights."

Heard he was dipping his pen in someone else's ink a few weeks ago now.

I'm not sure a more annoying writing style exists.

Why?

 

[anabac]

Could be Judd.

Could be. Could also be riewoldt

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Why?

Pretty obvious it's Wayne

 

[HTPunter]

Pretty obvious it's Wayne

could be but really doesn’t read like they’re alluding to Carey. Wouldn’t say he ever had the media world at his feet, whereas Riewoldt was actively headhunted by 7 before quitting to move to the US. Which I’d also say was reasonably abrupt, whereas Carey taking a back seat played out in the media slowly.

Doesn’t make it true, but just that they’re clearly not implying Carey, they’re implying Riewoldt

The part that says “his shock decision to turn his back on the media landscape” is the giveaway.

Wayne was blasted out the airlock without a second thought after the powdery pain killer fiasco. Riewoldt had options and left.

It’s Riewoldt.

Yeah Carey didn’t turn his back on the “media landscape”, he got told pretty publicly to get out

Riewoldt has never been poached by a rival station (always been with Fox) ..... Carey has

Riewoldt is well liked within the industry .... Carey isn't

Carey's extra curricular activities off camera are dubious at best ..... Riewoldt is clean as is his family life and his wife is a goddess

Always rumors about Riewoldt heading overseas with his family for a bit .... turned out to be true

Its Carey ..... you would be pretty stupid to think otherwise

they said he was attempted to be poached by channel 7 , it was unsuccessful.
hard to believe you cannot accept it is Saint Nick .

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Never change St Kilda.

Anyhow, anything that gets Little 'Nicky' off Fox Footy media duties can only be a good thing. What an annoying pillock.

[Slartibartfast]

Since when are people reported as family men when they have glassed a partner, grabbed girls breasts at nightclubs, cheating on his skipper by sleeping with his wife ???

Having family is different from being called a ”family man”
Wayne stood down from his role at channel 7 pending an internal investigation. He was then dismissed . He also lost his gig at MMM radio and the age newspaper to I think.

The mental gymnastics you are doing to make Carey a family man who never lost his job is ridiculous.

Lets talk about a real scoundrel from St Kilda, St Nick Riewoldt
wonder why he walled away from a massive media bidding war for his services?????
Might just be better weather in the USA or he is Or he Trump fan maybe ??

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Why would the Media conduct a massive bidding war for a guy that supposedly has problems outside work and was not seen as a great bloke?

Are you really that stupid to think it is Riewoldt?

The post footy world is still at Riewoldt's feet if he wants it .... hence the bidding war ..... its not for Carey

Riewoldt has never been poached as his Post footy career has been spent at one network ....Carey has been with several networks

If you are going to troll at least troll about something that might be a little bit believable ..... at the moment you just look super dumb

Delusional. Read the rumours thread. It has been on there for ages. And it is St Nick
