Is Sam McClure The Trade Whisperer?

[ArielZ]

Just this afternoon Ricky Nixon made a call on Twitter, claiming that Sam McClure is the trade whisperer

I know, Ricky is known as a flog in most circles and generally we can take what he says with a grain of salt- he's that type of bloke.

However, this one makes some sense. Earlier today Sam went on radio saying that Luke Hodge is looking likely to join Gold Coast next year and extend his AFL career. Just hours later, Hodge debunked that rumour as total bullshit. Since Hodge's statement, Sam's journalism reputation has taken a massive hit. Not long after Hodge's statement, the trade whisperer took to Twitter claiming that Hodge had infact spoken with Gold Coast officials, however quite casually and a number of weeks ago.

This claim made by the trade whisperer is seemingly indirectly defending Sam McClure's comments and his reputation as a journalist.

To add some cream, it's no secret that Sam comes off as quite arrogant and smart ass, characteristics that would clearly fit the identity behind the trade whisperer.

Could all be rubbish, but who knows. Will be interesting to see how this developes, or doesn't, over the coming days

It's pretty obvious. Hodge essentially accused Sam of making up bullshit. If that doesnt cause you to question his credibility, I'm not sure what will.

So it's based on your ability to read everyone else's minds?

I think no less of Sam as a result of this story.

Dunno if he's the trade whisperer.

But he's a twat.

Sam McClure isn't a journalist, he is a rumour peddler and a flog. Luke Hodge to the Gold Coast is like saying Barry Hall will come out of retirement next year.

Anyone with any feel for the game of football understands that Hodgey is cooked. He is done. He had nothing more to give as a player. If Sam McClure doesn't understand this, he has no business reporting on football.

Things Sam Mclure has nailed that I remember:

1. 2014 doggies off season, club was imploding and he called it

2. 2014 paddy mccartin pick 1 over petracca before anyone called it

He's one of those 'journalists' who thinks theyre bigger than the game. He justs makes crap up without using fact or even logic when he lies.

He's no Brad Hardy or Andrew Jarman

I'm quite concerned that you think highly enough of Sam McClure that it is feasible for you to think less of him.

He scores high points in the "smug flog" and "punchable face" categories.

 

[King_Steele]

Way to much time on his hands if true.

Who gave him the all clear for Talking Footy? Glad I've got fox footy..

 

[LeverPuller]

It's Tony Sheahan isnt it?

I said my opinion hasn't been lowered.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Ummm... that's exactly what modern journalists are.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right across how journalists work.

In fact I heard Sam on radion. What he said was that Mark Evans (at GC) spoke to Hodge about him coming over to GC. But more tongue in cheek in a casual conversation. Unlikely he will play again. But don't rule out anything.

If trade whisperer did write what you said above, Sam in fact must be TW.

No need for the smoke screen sammy

 

[tandino]

We all are Sam McClure.

Sam McClure is us.

A hit on his reputation would improve it.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Same, I love how you can guess which nuffie it is

The unpopular kids huddle together in one corner of the playground.

 

[TerryWallet]

Is Sam Maclure being talked about?

If No, then his employer is losing.

If Yes, then his employer is winning.

That is all.

Mark Robinson...Reigning Alf Brown Medallist.

Carnival spruikers....come in and see the circus.

 

[Upgrayedd]

I got banned from that Twitter pretty quickly linking some factual arguments and labeling his bullshit last year.

Whatever. If your still reading trade whisperer you have problems

 

[Dixie Normous]

He comes across as a complete dork. The kind of human that has Simpsons paraphernalia all over his work desk.

 

[Orange Agent]

This is not at all interesting. Dont know why anybody would give a fk

 

[Brad Goodman]

Why can't he be all three?

I would've thought those traits were pre-requisites TBH

 

[nahnah]

The trade whisperer is some random dumb school/uni kid that managed to fool a bunch of people by making up trades

 

[Scottish Bob]

Thought everyone knew it was Tony Sheehan. Didn't he stuff up some tweets with his own personal one last year?
