Kyle Reimers :D

It's from here:
BREAKING NEWS : Richmond have just signed delisted Bomber Kyle Reimers for 3 years. #afl
https://twitter.com/AusSport
SEN contacted the Club and thankfully the Club has said the rumour is false [no surprise].
-
Official tweet from Richmond_FC:
"Contrary to some reports flying around this afternoon, the club has not spoken Kyle Reimers."
-
I nearly sicked up all over the place.
The signing period has closed for now anyway hasn't it?
-
Freaking hell Mrakov, what do you do for a day job? Garbage collector?
-
Was hoping it was true. Upgrade on McG

Neally.cut wrist :P

Richmond shoots down rumour it has signed former Essendon utility Kyle Reimers

RICHMOND has emphatically rejected a report axed Bomber Kyle Reimers had joined the club on a three-year deal.
The rumour spread wildly on Twitter after it appeared on an account titled "Australian Sport" at lunchtime.
The account, which is not tied to any official organisation and does not identify its author, tweeted: "BREAKING NEWS : Richmond have just signed delisted Bomber Kyle Reimers for 3 years #afl."
The @aussport account says in its profile its purpose is "Reporting on all Australian Sports across the country" although few of its 1200 tweets report news.
No sources or follow-up information were offered, but the report quickly took off on social media.
It was widely repeated as a fact and spawned dozens of comments mocking the Tigers' decision.
But Richmond told SuperFooty no deal has been done with the former Bomber.
The club made its position clear on Twitter: "Contrary to some reports flying around this afternoon, the club has not spoken (to) Kyle Reimers."
It then sent a tongue-in-cheek tweet to a TV reporter who had criticised the Reimers move: "we still heading in the right direction?".
Reimers was delisted by Essendon after playing 60 matches for the Bombers, including just five this season.
He could have been signed by any club as a delisted free agent, but that window closed yesterday.
Reimers could still find a new home in the pre-season or rookie draft, but the Tigers seem an unlikely destination with the club already expressing interest in delisted players Ricky Petterd (Melbourne), Cameron Wood (Collingwood), Orren Stephenson (Geelong) and Josh Toy (Gold Coast).
Wood, Stephenson and Toy have all been invited to train with the Tigers in the lead-up to the draft.

Reminds me of that old journo offseason headlines thread of yours tiga ;D
Seriously I can't believe anyone was so stupid to actually believe this 'rumour'. The "3 years" was a certain giveaway. Reimers is an absolute spud. Only deluded Bomber fans loved him.

Ahh memories..do we still have that thread MT? I was also looking for old OER phantom draft threads to see how our selections have gone over the years but I couldn't find any.

Tom Steinfort from A Current Affair lost it over this on twitter.
"just when I thought Richmond were heading in the right I direction"
An ACA 'journo' making comments about faux storeys. Well at least Tom is being consistent.
-
Am disappointed that this isn't true.
;D

He's a Tigers man. Didn't know and hated him before yesterday. Now I like him.
