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his manager didn't sign the north offer, which - as far as i am aware and as was widely reported at the time - they rescinded midway through 2020 as he battled a serious knee injury and family issues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

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
