You're getting overly defensive over a few challenges to your opinion. I havent potted anyone, I've simply said that I don't think anyhing is clear. If that's a pot in your view, then I shudder to think how you react to many other posts here.To me, it is clear. Check what forum you are on dude.
And, I do find it compelling not long after publicly saying he didn't want to leave, his management is meeting with clubs.
People can take stock in any information they want to reach their conclusion.
This place would be very quiet indeed if we all just waited around to here from clubs and players. Indeed, there would barely be any media if this was the case.
For me, and probably many, I come on here to share my opinion. I don't know Wingard or anyone at Port Adelaide.
I am more then happy for people to have a different opinion, and to advocate that. However, simply potting someone without actually having a view yourself is weak.
Indeed, if a persons view is simply 'you don't know', 'it's not clear', then I question what value you are adding to any conversation.
If you're here to only put forward your views and not listen to the views of others, that being it is not clear he is being pushed out, then I question what value you're adding to the conversation.
Your OPINION is valid. Your OPINION is that he wants to stay and he is being pushed out. The difference is in the language. If you say it is clear that, that is what is happening, then you're purporting it as fact.
My opinion is that it is not clear that he is being pushed out.
He could be being pushed out.
He could be posting he wants to stay to make it look like he's being pushed out.
He could prefer to stay but be open to a trade.
He could want to leave.
He could be desperate to leave and posting on Twitter to appease and look the victim.
He could be indifferent and meeting clubs as a just in case.
He might be meeting clubs as a way of keeping his options open.
He might be doing a Mitch Wallis and leaning toward staying but wanting to dip the toe in to just see what's out there.
There are many other things that COULD be happening.
So again, if you're reading his Twitter posts and then seeing reports that he's meeting clubs as clear evidence that he's being asked to leave the club. I think you're being very simple minded. It's speculative - that is my point, and the point of the previous poster who said it wasn't clear.
Feel free to have whatever opinion you want, but don't present it as fact.
