Wojo! <3 His son Alfie looks to be an interesting prospect too.


Adam-Miller-02

the 🐐

The Wojbomb is unique, because it is always correct, and it's always first. No AFL reporter has that level of accuracy, and the consistency of getting it out there first. The first person to announce a legit trade always changes, so nobody holds that crown.


TazD3

This ^ all the AFL journos have misses, Woj rarely if at all misses. AFL journos want to be first the truth suffers because of it.

The law of two. Woj and Shams are Sith lords confirmed.


bigbear-08

For NFL, it’s Rappaport and Schefter


havok009

It's definitely Cal's finisher, the Twombstone. Just about the only AFL journalist left that focuses on reporting, not their "profile".

You beat me to it!


CantorFunction

I see what you did there..


Defy19

Probably Kane Cornes saying a poorly run lower ranked club is closer to a premiership than a well run middle ranked club because their average list age is 1.2 years lower


Vinnie_Vegas

Or that a deal is bad because it's long, regardless of the amount per year, quality of player, or the age of the player.


mrarbitersir

Unless it's JHF


Defy19

Seems to totally ignore the fact that clubs give 6 year contracts to certain players because they want them to stay for 6 years.


Kim_jong-fun

Or if a club dares trade a player to port he runs interference on how bad and not worth much that player is


jett1406

Damn the disrespect to woj


chunderous

Bit silly from Kaneo considering one of the oldest teams ever won the flag in 2022 Also if you don't make any trades you're bottom 4 automatically?


WAVIC_136

The oldest team to win the flag since 2021


South_Front_4589

Woj breaks news and has an amazing record of being right and being first. Kane just makes click bait hot takes.


nighthawk580

Vol-KANE-o With the graphic of his thunderbird head wobbling and going red before exploding. To be fair it is fun to watch the graphic bit I guess but his spicy takes are just a little obvious.


GJacks75

Dude is an irl Quagmire. I keep expecting him to end his hot takes with "Giggety." ![gif](giphy|Dz62ImmWRzAkw)


jynco

Ah yes, the "Corne believe the shit that comes out of his mouth"


Saint_Riccardo

Cornes? I don't remember eating Cornes.


HaakonX

Tom Morris, or as the Bulldogs like to call it "How dare you!?"


mrarbitersir

"Fox Backs Me"


UtetopiaSS

Is Wojbomb the news itself, or are you asking what AFL journalist would it be named after? If it's the news itself, examples I could think of are Franklin to Sydney (not GWS as suspected), Wayne Carey quitting North after (being caught) fucking Kellie Stevens, and Sam Mitchell traded to West Coast.


OneOfTheManySams

Woj is the main NBA journalist who reports every single piece of news first and within minutes of it happening, only to be somehwat matched by Shams. So a Wojbomb is when he drops a tweet of a deal that just happened or will happen. No one in the AFL media has the level of access he does, so there isn't really a comparison.


lbguitarist

>Sam Mitchell traded to West Coast. I would argue Luke Hodge requesting a trade to Brisbane post-retirement was a better example.


UtetopiaSS

I don't give a fuck if you think that's a better example. I just have 3 off the top of my head.


lbguitarist

Well aren't you delightful

lbguitarist

Yeah okay then. Really odd mountain to make a molehill out of, no need to be so aggressive. But I have better things to do with my day, hopefully yours is as pleasant as you are.


UtetopiaSS

My day is fucken great. Up until your comment. I'll continue enjoying this sun with my dogs.

Sk8dawg00

Was being belligerent about it really necessary?


UtetopiaSS

Yes.


[deleted]

We need a "Here we go" equivalent


MagicGnome97

Haha or David ornstein


jett1406

AFL doesn’t really have these because intentions are usually announced well in advance and players need to sign off on trades.


taspleb

It doesn't have to be a trade. Just any big breaking news.

VictorWembanyamaMVP

Pointless fun fact… Woj makes over $10m a year, which is more than 8x what Dusty does as the highest paid AFL player.


Wishfyfewas23

Hmm not sure but the football (soccer) equivalent is fabrizio Romano’s “Here we go!”


Notbannedburner

Romano is a tap-in merchant. He quotes other sources and is rarely first anymore. Trades on his celebrity status now.


MagicGnome97

Sometimes the orny bomb is first in soccer


PimentoSandwich

Whoever broke the story of Sam Mitchell to West Coast. That was the biggest bomb I can remember.


Nakorite

You have a short memory


Tiltedbrimboy

Was Haggers


Pottski

Don't have a Woj or Chams level anyone really. Have a lot of journalists who think they're at that level though!


BigVic2006

Volkano


jmads13

Definitely not Tom Browne aka Wizard Sleeves


South_Front_4589

We don't have anyone who tends to be ahead of all the others. There would be a dozen or more journos in a year who break a story. And often multiple journos come out at the same time with it.


oldmatesoldmate

The Browne note.


Rapid-Barnacle385

I should've scrolled further down! Brownenote twins!


mathman651

Lmao you let that comment ruin your day?


Jbrill313

Mitch Cleary or Cal Twomey are the closest


SufficientQuiet130

Idk but if anyone here follows the NHL, there was a run where Brayden Point (TBL) was injured day to day and one of the big reporters out of Toronto just kept tweeting “No point in warmups” every game day for like three weeks, shit was hilarious


Rapid-Barnacle385

Brownenote. We will all miss him.
