Fox Sports News reporting Joey to Essendon

[PJ]

Scott Watters, Dean Laidley and Chris Pelchen all want to go to Essendon.

It a legitimate rumour........ actually no
I made it up.

I've heard the coffee is better there than at Seaford

Opinion 4. I remember he was seen with ed in 2011 so always thought if he asked for a trade, it would be to the pies.

Long bow pulled in the wrong directon IMO. Now if Joey was seen with the Pies coach, or recruiting manger that would be a different story.

Joey works in the media and clearly sees it as a post AFL career. As such it would be surprising if he was not seen with Ed occasionally, as Ed is very influential in ex- and current players getting opportunities in the media in what is a very competitive area.

[saintsRrising]

Pelchen did say pretty clearly that Joey is not being traded in the club chat. Ditto tat no talks had taken place re Armo.

Some like Fisher he left open. But Joey was pretty black and white, or should I say red, black and white!

The drug pushers dont have the currency to trade for Montagna unless a guy called Goddard wants to get away from the drug cheats.

[groupie1]

is the word infarction or infraction ?

I've seen it written both ways.

[supersaints]

Seems Fox make up rumors then crush them all by themselves
Very average ...... But par for course

"Speculation was rife at the weekend Essendon was on the verge of securing the 29-year-old Montagna as the Saints embark on an aggressive list rebuild.
But the Bombers are unable to put forward a satisfactory trade deal to the Saints, who have put a premium value on their experienced players."

I've seen it written both ways.

It starts with an infraction which leads to an infarction.

[Verdun66]

And then they're farct.......

[suss]

Fox issued with infaction notice?

[saintbrat]

Essendon say never, saints say never,
But talk back radio continue to pedal rubbish, if so let people know it's only fantasy trading

[Johnny Member]

Dare I say that Essendon asked for Joey, and put up a trade scenario.

They were told by the Saints "no".


And there's your headline story that "the Bombers miss out on securing Montagna".

[stinger]

was all just crap afaic...

"ESSENDON will insist on Fremantle's second-round pick for Scott Gumbleton, but has all but given up the chase for Saint Leigh Montagna.

Speculation was rife at the weekend Essendon was on the verge of securing the 29-year-old Montagna as the Saints embark on an aggressive list rebuild.

But the Bombers are unable to put forward a satisfactory trade deal to the Saints, who have put a premium value on their experienced players.

Despite rumblings about player discontent at Seaford, Montagna is expected to remain a Saint. "

Almost.

Essendon ask for Joey, and put up a trade scenario.

Saints say "no".

I would never put someone down for not knowing what a word meant and I'm far from perfect but come on, the guy is supposed to be a'''journalist" for god sake..he could have at least looked it up first...

Goes to show if he can't even be bothered looking this up to save himself, these guys are not going to spend time checking stories they sometimes report as fact.

I need to lower my expectations on these people even further.

Brilliant SaintPav.

One of the funniest things I've read on here.

Well done SaintPav, very funny!

I notice he kept digging after that too... all very Frontline.

"We can emphatically dismiss reports over the weekend that St Kilda had been considering a trade involving Leigh Montagna,” Pelchen said.

“As stated last week, we have not discussed 'Joey' with any other club and he is both a contracted and required player for 2014.

"Any report to the contrary is totally incorrect."

Smack.

Nice work, Pav. Tom may have been journalist some years ago, but now he's just another "Ken doll" type who reads an autocue for a living. If he was a journalist in the distant past, he musn't have been a very good one. I hope the delicious irony of a journalist not knowing what a missive is (given that it is a written or typed note) does not escape him, although I fear it probably will. Back to talking into the mirror and admiring yourself, Tommy!

[Devilhead]

But the Bombers are unable to put forward a satisfactory trade deal to the Saints.

The Bombers are unable OR were unable??

Sounds like they didnt even try to table a deal

Encore is not a word.

After it was pointed out to him that 'missive' is indeed a word, he (unconvincingly) claimed to have been referring to it's context, which was perfectly fine anyway.

ha ha… pav can't even spell massive good.

His employer spends so much time in the gutter muckraking that they don't get a chance to do any fact checking !
He's must be a ron burgundy type who believe's everything on the autocue !
