Caroline Wilson, first lady of football, specialist in spreading off field rumour and innuendo about clubs such as Melbourne, Essendon, St Kilda and Collingwood has exposed her outrageous blind spot re the Tigers this morning.

Remember how she told us how Dane Swan was in trouble off field and in the pre season?

And how she denied rumours circulating about Dustin Martin which I won't repeat for their defamatory nature?

Today she implicitly confirms all that in her piece lauding Richmond's handling of Martin amid "off field tales of wild summer behaviour".

She tells us "all along the Tigers protected their man".

Well, how come we did not hear about those behaviours of Martin's Caro, since you were all too keen to tell us about Swan's?

And who might it have been who helped the Tigers protect their man?

Her hypocrisy is breathtaking.

She truly is a disgrace. Link below, if it does not work see age website.

The ridiculous thing is she is using her position . Formal journalist to try and influence the contractual decisions relating to key young players at her club.

It may not have an affect on the player in question but it will be a mind worm to readers and the public.

Did she wrote that James Frawley and Colin Sylvia should stick with Melbourne, the club who has supported them and paid them "overs", in a show of faith to help rebuild?

Did she write that Daisy Thomas should resign with Collingwood die to the faith they've shown him during injury?

What is her opinion on another "party boy" Lance Franklin? Should he stay for stability?

This article smacks of using her influence for her own agenda.

There is no doubt the Tiges have protected their man and if he heads to GWS I would worry about him and his ability to keep on track but your point is about Wilson and yes she is clouded by her team allegiance.

Franklin is a really interesting one, will he get an offer from GWS or is he to hot to handle?

Garry, Hutchy. If you're reading this..... It's time to pull her up on this on Footy Classifieds.

Do it for the fans of all clubs!!!

That sadly will not happen. Grant Thomas, his involvement in the racism scandal at Melbourne aside, was a shining light on that show in that he was straightforward, called things as he saw them and pulled Caro up. Lloyd, Lyon and Hutchison would make a good modern version of the Three Stooges. Shemp and Moe have been determined but Lordo (where the hell did that nickname come from?) mightn't have the physical attributes or demeanour to pull off a good Curly.

I'm going to paraphrase the entire article....

Dear Dustin,

Please stay.

Yours sincerely,

Caroline Wilson

It's "Lloyd-o".

Shocking nickname, but the bloke is bereft of personality, so it'd be bloody hard coming up with a decent alternative.

He's more robotic than C3PO. More wooden than the Mahogany ship.

Just a shame he has a tough surname to work with.

I agree. That's why I put it out there.

The only enjoyment I ever got out of the show was when Grant Thomas made CW look and sound like a goose. Completely shut her down 90% of the time.

Her hypocrisy has descended to a new nadir, and her "professionalism" never existed.

It's this kind of crap that gives you a grudging respect for people like Mike Sheahan who sink the boots in - allegiances or ties to clubs be damned - with their 'journalistic duty.'

I heard he was a ticking time bomb as late as March so we will see how far this misguided young man has turned himself around.

The interesting thing rpfc is that on reflection I think Mike was close to the mark.

I now see what he was getting at in certain areas.

It is a strange situation. Martin lived at Gary March's house for i think 2 years, give or take.

One of my old school mates knows Gary very well..they have been close mates for years & he has said often that Gary is a top man.

Now you would think that little Dusty would be Yellow & Black through & through.

Gary is finishing up this year though....

Dusty should stay because of what Richmond has done for him..

but i feel like he could be enticed.

if we offered him a large sum of money, he might be keen?

I wonder !!!

GWS & pick 1 = potentially a very tall Power Forward...

.... is she, are they, playing games?

http://livescores.theage.com.au/afl/ladder.html?refresh=1374653338466

.... Freo also want a tall forward, but would they prefer one who is already in their Mid 20's, who's played over 100 games? to eventually replace the Pav. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Riewoldt

GWS, what do they want? Buddy who is a free agent, & Martin who is up for contract... Martin + the Tigers 1st pick, would likely get the job done to acquire GWS's 2013 NAB Draft Pick 1 (Boyd) plus maybe a player??? & a dead skunk from the middle of the road..

Freo would like JR(ewing) Riewoldt, to supplement the aging Pav. & the tigers no doubt would like Freo's 1st Pick + something in return.

... IMO the wagons are circling in the countdown for the GWS Pick 1... nothing would surprise Re all this.

Blatant barracking by Caro. There should be a disclaimer at the beginning that says "this advertorial is sponsored indirectly by the RFC and written by a massive fan of Martin and the RFC".

And conveniently fails to include a readers comments section at the end where we can point out the ridiculously obvious conflict of interest.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
