Caro generally gets more right than wrong. However, she has one substantial failing and that is an inability to acknowledge when she's got it wrong.

Also loves being called the "First Lady of Football" - Hutchy says it so often on Footy Classified that it must be in her contract.

    Ben is one of my favourites at the club. When there was talk about him joining us I thought he'd fit right in and that has shown to be the case thankfully. He might also be our first carbon neutral signing. 

    Did he pedal across the Nullarbor?

    BBB will always think fondly of his first love the Kanags but oh how happy am I he’s a premiership winning Demon and I reckon he loves us too.

    Great positive influence amongst the playing group and a genuine decent bloke. 

    Wilson is the ultimate poisonous toxic [censored]. Nothing that comes out of her mouth or from her pen is anything less than scum.

    Hindsight makes fools of all of us. Not her biggest mistake by a all long way.

    Not a Caro hater but she had a shocker grand final week. Kicked off with a nothing story about a club curfew and followed up by comparing the tanking saga to the Essendon drug saga. Not her finest work at all.

    Sounded rather droll and quite the hamfisted bore she becomes when things just don't pan out according to her forethought..

    i really like caro - in terms of investigative reporting into the backroom shenanigans of afl and clubs she's second to none

    very happy he and his manager didn't sign the north offer, which - as far as i am aware and as was widely reported at the time - they rescinded midway through 2020 as he battled a serious knee injury and family issues

    with sideshow bob in the side, we were 11-1-1 and a premiership side

    happy days

    Haha. Hi Cards. I was referring to his vegan diet.

    I met Clyde Laidlaw 10 years ago at a grand final function - he was the guest speaker.  He was in his 70's then and was completely wonderful. Not many get to be introduced as "a Melbourne premiership player" and fettered like he was that day.

    BBB is now 'one of us'. Part of 22 that broke the dam wall. Play his cards right, he'll never have to work another day in his life. And forever, he'll be introduced as a Melbourne premiership player. What's that worth? I'd give my executive washroom up for that.

    I suspect he may have been 'feted', rather than being into BDSM...

    “Hamfisted bore”, what compliment, I always think of John Elliot when I hear the term.

    She wrote an incredibly mean spirited article about Simon Goodwin in the days before the Grand Final. Dredged up a lot of personal garbage.

    I have supported her over the years but she is bitter and twisted these days. Probably because her husband is Dan ANdrews media manager. Imagine their dinner table conversations. Yuk

    Someone quoted me the goals that Kozzie has kicked in the games where BB was in the side. It was a big number. I haven't bothered to check it but sounded right....

    Her article about Goodwin the day before the grand final was atrocious. Took pot shots at his gambling background, Essendon drug history, divorce and near sacking. Absolute gutter journalism.

    I always thought m she was unfairly disparaged over the years, watching a few episodes of Footy Classified I’ve felt she has spent waaay to much time with Hutchy.
    The Lachie Neale stuff was incredibly over the top.

    Yes, she is a nasty piece of work.Most jealous journalism.Lot of it stems from Sen and GL as far as I can see.

    Time for the Hird curse now C.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
