Caroline Wilson's descent into gutter journalism

[hoopla 418]

I was reviewing some of CW's history and found something interesting in regards to the Mifsud/Davey/Neeld race issues:

• “I can categorically tell you that Jason Mifsud would not have made this up,” Caroline Wilson
  
• "Jason Mifsud conceded Aaron Davey never told him that Mark Neeld was treating indigenous players differently in Melbourne's pre-season player meetings." 3AW
  
• "Jason now accepts that Aaron didn’t say the words that were published by Grant Thomas and Jason has apologised to Aaron for putting him in the situation where those words were published." Davey and Misfud joint statemen

I put it to you - can anyone find a recent, pro-MFC article published by CW?

Remember from 30/10/2012 to 3/11/2012 CW has published 6 anti-MFC articles!

The evidence just keeps on coming

Caro has always made stuff up. She often uses a throw away line in an article with no substance triying to pass it as fact. I have had sport for years reading her articles and identifying the line. Occurs almost without exception. She's a shocking 'journalist'.

On her MFC rants, she said something in an article years ago referring to Robert Flower and the unhappy circumstances in which he left the club, or similar. I had to show it to my non MFC supporting wife to say I have lived and breathed the MFC and never heard about any such thing. But she said it in the article. Just made it up. Has been doing it for an awfully long time.

Even on Footy Classified she is often shown to have made things up, but just sits there and says 'well, that's what I believe happened.'

I actually thinks she's nuts.

Keep it coming

Let;s give her the benefit of the doubt - she's not nuts - but she definite;y despises Cameron Schwab and the MFC

Here is a link to the article I've mentioned previously. It says absolutely nothing - but it reveals Wilson's peculiar pre-occupation with anything that might embarrass Cameron Schwab. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/140000-loan-for-schwab-20110328-1cdgq.html

The MFC Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 October 2010 fully disclosing the loan was released on 22 December 2010. Wilson ran this as a headline article on 29 March 2011.

CW clearly has a conflict of interest concerning the MFC - I would love to know if she is being influenced externally....

Someone out there really wants to de-stabilise this club - they can G&GF

[Schneider 220]

I just watched some of her on Footy Classifieds.

She has a weird vendetta against North Melbourne and James Brayshaw too. Flat out lying a number of times, what a strange woman.

This is great stuff but what we need is a separate thread investigating Wilson and her bias against the club and putting all of the examples of her bias against our board, administration and officials in the one place. In this way, we might also uncover her sources. If any of them are internal or associated in some way past or present with the MFC they should be exposed.

Someone's twigged.

She's nuts !!!!

Good suggestion and one that I'd like to take on board. I'm on holiday at the moment and am working off an iphone but will definitely have a crack at compiling articles Wilson has written that are derogatory to the club. Also, if she's written anything favourable about us.

I also think we need to get to the heart of who has been supplying her with information from within the club over the years. That would be a more worthwhile exercise than suing her for libel.

[7-UP 107]

Won't we find out, who is giving Wilson information if we sue her?

[beelzebub 22,324]

"also if she's written anythong favourable about us ."

Fell off my chair laughing.

Stop it WJ....stop it !!!

I heard from a lawyer friend of mine that the gutters of melbourne are in discussion on the possibility of starting a class action against Caroline Wilson for bringing their good name into disrepute. They point out that they provide a valuable contribution to melbourne society and they have had enough of their good name being dragged down to such depths

Good luck with that WJ.

I think we will win a flag before that happens.

The HUN would have a field day if this were to occur.

You missed the word "gutters".

Maybe they could join their action with "absolute garbage"which CW has been dragging down for years.
