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
