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his manager didn't sign the north offer, which - as far as i am aware and as was widely reported at the time - they rescinded midway through 2020 as he battled a serious knee injury and family issues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

    My executive washroom is a lemon tree.

    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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
