Wimpley's meltdown
« on: July 13, 2023, 02:00:37 PM »


This was the fake quote that started it all:



...and he's taking it well:

...which of course has only caused the trolls to double down:

Streisand effect. Whateley going on twitter just brought more attention to the fake tweet.

Tom Brady was taken at Pick 199, Gryan Miers at pick 57 #thegoatdebate

Gryan Miers is essentially the Aussie Lionel Messi.

Grionel Messi, if you will.

ps. If the media and especially the footy so-called "journos" didn't make stuff up for clickbait (Hello McClure regarding Dusty) or weren't biased about their own club (Whateley and his beloved Geelong), then no one would've taken any notice of let alone believed any fake tweets.

Karen's a dumb troll & a supreme flog but is at least open about it - "respectable/reputable" journos like Wimpley are far more insidious. :shh

Whateley’s Wikipedia page is now in a minute-by-minute fight to block the Gryanel links, his name is trending on Twitter and the merchandise is now available to purchase online.
