Leave Caro alone.

She's done well in a mysogynistic industry.

She's enough I turn anyone misogynist. Don't you remember how she put the boots into MFC over the past 2-3 years? She didn't mention the tanking that her darling richmond club was involved in!

    Are you suggesting that Grimes kick the ball to no-one in particular/vacant ground 25 metres in from the boundary. As much as Roos wouldn't have liked the kick out of bounds on the full I'm damned sure he wouldn't like that idea at all.

    No I'm not. Why would you suggest that?

    I am saying that he didn't need to pinpoint Bail (I think it was) 1cm from the boundary. Dumb decision. Poor execution. Could have easily kicked the ball 10-15m inside the boundary.

    Is there something about that you don't quite understand? Its Saturday morning and I have a bit of time on my hands. Happily give you further explanation of footy basics.

    Yeah, I remember all that - IIRC, the MFC were travelling beautifully?

    Apologies for the sarcasm, but she's a footy journo - they're pretty much all the same.

    The MFC need to suck it up and get better!!

    If the umps were allowed to exercise any common sense no way that was a free against Watts - it was the perfect spoil.

    IF they pay every free strictly per the rule book there would be over 100 per game.

    Everyone seems to be missing the point. He got to the ball first. That is the name of the game. The subsequent feather touch to WIngard is almost irrelevent in those circumstances.

    Let me put it another way. If Vickery last night hit the ball first and subsequently hit Cox after it would be play on. No difference here.

    Precisely, so why are you saying to leave her alone?

    She should cop her fair share along with Barrett and Hutchy - they're all leeches.

    Because the attacks have been based on her gender.

    Critique her articles.

    Agree. He hit the ball away off his wrist first. That meant that Wingard could never have marked the ball. Therefore the incidental contact to Wingard which he totally acted up, making it look like he was shot, did not constitute an illegal mark spoil. However if even after that the umpire felt constrained to award a free, how could 3 incompetent umpires miss the blatant drag around the neck to Pedersen, as he attempted to mark about 15 metres out straight in front. Even all of the commentators said it was blatant as did Murphy and Lewis on AFL360. Oh and by the way on TV the umpire is shown about 10 metres away staring straight at it.

    Let's imagine what her offspring look like.

    Really?

    I don't expect you to get it.

    Both of you need to grow up.

    The MFC hasn't done itself any favours over the last decade and the scrutiny was deserved.

    Not on a personal level it wasn't.

    Wilson attacked individuals everyday last year.

    Where was the return fire??

    Her attacks on Dane Swan's private affairs? When has he ever returned a comment?

    That same joke was also directed at Barrett and it doesn't target gender at all.

    Supporting Neeld for so long must have sent you loopy.

    what i love about all the footy journos in this town is that they all think they know everything, and then when something truly momentous happens - buddy to sydney, peptides scandal, lyon defecting to freo - they have NO IDEA whatsoever.

    i'm convinced a vast majority get their rumour and innuendo straight from message boards such as demonland.

    It's good progress that you've finally rationalised your own intellect.

    Tremendous step forward - keep at it.

    Why don't you just critique what was said and mock her intent?

    Roos is a polished media performer, he gave her nothing.

    I'm saying that the 'jokes' aimed at Caro are not funny, irrelevant to her profession as a journo and mysogynistic.

    She digs hard because we've been a basket case.

    She digs hard cos she doesn't care about the game, just the scandal.

    She is a bitter person.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
