The Hydra ~ Caro rears her head again

[Cam]

I like Caro. Not only has she got guts, she's a survivor who doesn't kiss anyones derriere. She's a bit like good advice, sometimes you listen, sometimes you don't.

[Plenty O'Toole]

I deflowered Caro when she was a young nubile, nympha tic, lithe, sensuous girl of 18. It was a torrid night of passion and lovemaking that saw her swear her allegiance to me forever. I left her there in a bed of roses but I never rang her back to arrange a second date.

Perhaps my rejection is why she has a pathological hatred of all men even today. God I must be a fantastic lover for her to still hate men so much.

Someone needs to remind her occassionally that footy is a game. It should be fun.

Did anyone else see Caroline on the ABC sports program 'Outsiders' on the weekend?

She seemed fresh out of 'Extreme Makeover'.

Caro is putting herself back out there, in the market, after all this time, and it is good to see. Maybe, just maybe, she has finally forgotten me enough to take another chance.

For the benefit and education of those contributers here with an irrational, deep-grained hatred of Caroline Wilson, I've decided to come to her rescue.

Yesterday Caro criticised her club....that's right....she criticised Richmond.
It was a broadside at the club runner; an ex Carlton player with a drug record. It was a direct criticism at the club hierachy and its mentality.
It is sure to be a talking point at Punt Road today.

She also won no friends at Princes Park over the summer; her reporting on the chaos at Carlton was instrumental in its restructuring. She also exposed Stephen Kernahan as the dick-headed bogun he really is.

A good journo needs to be accurate, opinionated and have good contacts.
What I like about Caro is that she will always go after the truth and the big stories regardless of the consequences for her popularity.

The AFL must wish she'd go away.
People who can't stand their club being criticised or held to account also bag her.

I often disagree with with her point of view and sometimes her timing.......but I really love her guts.

Im a huge fan for Carro.
Seems to be more shite written about the pies right here on Nicks board at times than what you'd ever see in Carros articles!!

[pietillidie]

Rudeboy is right. I have no problem with her apart from her pathological hatred of Collingwood. I for one will never forget her 2004-2005 assault on the club. It might be fashionable now to imagine she's the last bastion of unbiased journalism, but go wade through the archives of the aforementioned period for a reality check.

Caro is still a chance to represent Australia in the Miss Universe competition; she is currently competing on the beauty contest circuit. Her special interest subject is not helping the poor or world travel; it is belting the Magpie Football team into oblivion.

Here Here..... She hasnt a clue and the Age's reputation is being tarnished by having her as the head of football writing...

[Joel]

Good on him I reckon. About time people stood up to the shit that the media write.

[qldpie02]

does tiff cherry do journalism anymore? she was a good journalist! havent seen her since the demise of fox footy channel....bring her back, get rid of this hack...what if a guy wrote this...people would be like your point exactly...wow swearing happens in the change room OMG! it also happens on a netball court as well.....hmm...people get angry and swear, some people just swear...what about on fox before the game where the guys call each others wankas all the time...she didnt say anything about that cos journos can do that right.....so shes saying shes never sworn....good work caro....

ok i hav to say i didnt read the article i just guessed what it would b about, so if im completely off, sorry, if im on target...how predictable does she wanna b? how about a different point of view?

like it although society pushes equality, the number of men in football clubs still out number women, even in administration....

or why do the footballers still stretch even tho it has been proven that static stretching dramatically decreases the maximum amount of torque and force a person can produce from leg extension etc.....

or sport can be bad for u, the number of injuries involved in sport is dramatically higher than that of exercise, the number of serious injuries in elite sport continue to rise...why? the will to win blah blah....

why does this sport, continue to b number one, while soccer or football as its know internationally, has the biggest numbers of participation of any sport in australia? does afl hav a choke hold on the media? or does the media have a choke hold on sport, with rugby now having "tv time outs".....

i believe these are the kinds of things people would like to read about, interesting/thought provoking articles....not that footballers swear....are u gonna tell me that qld is running out of water next?

wow rereading this youd never guess ive been studying for my contemporary issues of sport uni exam lol

[member34258]

Why did she not write this before Clarkson appeared on FC?
She regrets not saying anything now, but why? Now she has her say without right of reply.
Nice tactic Caro.

[Tannin]

care factor?

Unfortunately you can't see her there.

For Caro to write an article criticising clarkson for having a go at hutchison off camera after the little gossip peddler tried to set up his captain is weak. nearly as weak as Hutchison himself.
