Paul Roos on Footy Classified

[Coq au vin 755]

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!

[Gorgoroth 13,019]

She doesn't care about anything except getting dirt on people. She is a paparazzi of the AFL.

[jnrmac 20,186]

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!!

[jumbo returns 6,741]

I don't see how it relates.

I don't expect you to.

[jnrmac 20,186]

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.

Link me to posts that attack her based on gender? I haven't seen any.

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.

Really?

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.

[whatwhat say what 22,946]

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.

Ha!

I must be having trouble understanding the ramblings of an intellectual minnow.

What a disappointment.

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.

[chook fowler 19,546]

Geez everyone is getting scratchy - must be the bye.

[Sir Why You Little 37,128]

He gave her nothing because of her prodding questions, NOT because of her gender.

I know that.....

What's your point?

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

She digs hard. She cops return fire.

No they're not.

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

[Gorgoroth 13,019]

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

She is a bitter person.

First Lady of football my ar$e.
