Resource Who really has a source?

[Maggie5]

I know an ex player but he is pretty closed lips, only gives me positive stuff that I read about in the media anyway.
Pretty loyal to the club.

 

[Jasper84]

pie time and BEEG been pretty good this year of giving some info that some of have come true

pie time deserves props as they have given us rumours and actually told us where they got them from. Bonus points for putting their own cred on the line.

On the flip side we should name and shame the posters who "are 100% certain" of something and it turns out to be total bullshit.

If you aren't absolutely certain of something, there's a chance it won't come off, or are just making shit up, don't post it as fact. Inexcusable

[Brad Goodman]

I have no sources beyond 'interested onlookers'.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

It depends on the information being given.

When it comes to trades and stuff I don't really have any truly decent ones. When it comes to rumours and gossip? Mine are just about as good as you can get.

I've PM'd some posters with details because I'd rather the information as well as my sources weren't made public.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

I find the concept funny, because I can just imagine that people who would lambaste Gen Y and Z for their obsessive nature over pop culture gossip, would ironically then show the same characteristic and desire over athletes and be none the wiser that they're doing the same thing.

Most Employees and Ex ones are close lips as they don't want stuff to get out in the Media.

Think most info comes from Managers then from Clubs

I generally get my info from a lad at work that is very good mates with Kenno and Scharenberg, played footy together at Glenelg and also a mate who has good connections at Port when all the Broomhead stuff was going on.
Its obviously only info about those lads but

Aish Info?

 

[FireKrakouer]

Would explain how I hear Kreuzer has talent but never actually see it. It both exists and doesn't exist.

Correct. Stephen Hawking recently stated that Kreuzer is proof that his theories on quantum mechanics are legit.

Nah mate. No idea about that.

 

[didaksrightfoot]

I think we should just ban the use of "sources". (im being a bit facetious... But just cringe everytime someone talks about a "source").

Probably 90% of the time people are either full of crap, or have spoken to somoeone who might as well be Bucks gardener or the Westpac centre Jani or something. Most people around the club often wont actually know whats going on with particular deals etc. And in the rare occasion someone in the know was the actual source, i question whether 1. They should be releasing that information, or 2. Whether they understand the person giving it out is going be posting it on a public forum.

Just save us the trouble. Happy to talk about rumours and innuendo but just leave it at that, and don't try to use "sources" to get yourself some fake internet points

 

[ppoiter]

IMO posting of inside info should be encouraged at every turn, as long as it isn't something about players personal lives. Anyone claiming inside info who turns out to be full of shit deserves to be dealt with harshly

Lol so because i don't say where its from and it becomes correct i get no credit

Good to know

 

[Nicco_jj]

I had a source in 2012 and 2013 - my brother was hanging out fairly closely with a few of the players (high profile ones at that), a couple gone a couple still there.

He no longer hangs out with them, so I no longer have any source.

Then you are no longer very helpful...

 

[DaicosianMarvels]

I actually am friends with a daughter of a Collingwood member. Obviously won't mention the name.

Up until two months ago I wasn't able to get anything but the past few months I have managed to get information on Dangerfield and Buckley's future at Collingwood.

Sorry Beeg it wasn't meant to be a dig at you. It was more that pie time gave us Treloar info, discussed where he got it from and then copped a fair bit of grief for it.

[SpongePie]

Correct. And to be fair, even at that point most of my info was around the parties/clubs they were going to and the shit they got up to, rather than anything of value like trades, etc.
