In this sequence, X is the unfounded rumour posited by a "journalist" seeking clicks.

1.  What if X is happening?  That wouldn't be good.

2.  Is X happening?  Does anybody have any info?

3.  I read that X is happening.  It's all over Big Footy as well.

4.  People are saying that X is happening.  The grapevine is buzzing.

5.  Are the rumours about X really true?  Sounds that way.

6.  It appears that X is happening.  It's the logical conclusion.

7.  X is is definitely happening.  Take it to the bank.

8.  No smoke without fire.  Told you so.

9.  The club needs to make a statement.  Why aren't we members being kept informed?

10. This crisis is another typical MFC shemozzle.  Pert and Roffey must go.

 

Excellently summed up. Not sure the 10 evolutionary steps are taken by many (most?) people though……3 often seems to do it

Yep.  I call it the Chicken Little Syndrome.

In a similar vein, I found these today at my local op shop.

They offered to pay me $20 for the lot if I took them off their hands.

Clearly one of these is a fake. My copy of "Lies and Prejudice" is the same thickness as "War and Peace".

 

The difference between listening to direct sources and listening to journalists these days is vast.

there are the actual people and clubs involved and then there are the characters the media talk about that often have little in common with the actual people and or clubs.

My personal favourite. And by favourite I mean I hate this with a passion because this is the most destructive of the lot.

Journos are smoke aficionados. They make more smoke in one day than at any of the parties I went to in my misspent youth 😁

That is priceless Demonstone and don’t you get hammered if you don’t concur with the conspiracy theorists.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
