Journos come and go with very little interest from me. I have a genuine dislike for any journo who is as famous, or more so, than their specialist subject. And Caro definitely became one of these. She wrote well, and good writing is a rare beast these days, so that is a plus for her. Apart from that, couldn't give a toss really.

    The footy media has certainly become a weird, sort of incestuous, beast. I don't care for many of them, nor some of the ex-footballers in commentary and analysis roles. Many of them definitely need to be bought down a peg or three.

    IMO Jake Niall is a good footy journo as well as an excellent writer in general. He wrote a quality article on Jimmy near the end. Was at The Age for 20 years until a couple of years ago. I wonder if he got sick of the celebrity journos at the paper (Caro, Connolly) and got a better opportunity at Fox. A good re-draft by The Age.

    At least you are honest with your assessment. Between the lines, l read it that you rate her. I rate her highly regardless of her white lies now and then. That's a journo for you. Caro held herself well.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
