On 3AW Caro strongly believes Judd is already at Collingwood but ...

Collingwood can't fit him in under the salary cap or they would have to trade the likes of Thomas and Pendlebury, which I can't see them doing!

Her whole premise is based upon "I can't see Colligwood letting him go to another club" and Dwayne's "what Eddie wants he gets". They have no basis of fact. Their arguments are tenuous at best.

Although she did say it's Collingwood with the Dees as the smokey. And later on "Melbourne are the red herring".

Also "How did Stride Management not agree to interview Dean Bailey after his phone call?" This was in reference to the Essendon coaching job.

Caroline Wilson is solid evidence that there is no place for women in football

To think she is the chief sports writer for one of the biggest papers in Australia is absolutely sickening

Caros' comments were prefaced with "I think". In that regard she is no different to anyone here thinking (hoping) Judd will come to the Dees. Of course my thoughts are based on a desire to see Juddy in Red & Blue, not Carolines perception of the attractivness of the Lexus Ed(die)fice and McChins sales pitch.

Caroline Wilson's mail is usually pretty much spot on and she gets things right more often than some of her fellow journos of the male persuasion.

I'd take Caro over Patrick Smith any day of the week.

You have to remember that journalists bring their own unique preconceptions and bias to the table when they express their opinions - just like supporters. It'd be easier for a Jim Wilson (Carlton) to accept that Judd would want to go to Collingwood rather than Melbourne, or for Caro (Richmond) the same... it'd simply be inconceivable for someone like Grybas (Collingwood) to believe anything else. If Judd chooses Melbourne... it means they all have to go away and not only have to try and rationalise it (gee there won't be a story that doesn't mention he barracked for us as a kid) and admit that maybe that their preconceptions may have been wrong.

I've listened to Caro on Footy Classified and on 3AW over the past few weeks, and she has been pretty forthright in saying she really doesn't know where he will go, and has continually said she thinks this and that.......nothing concrete.

She can't just sit there as a reporter and say nothing, but like many others in the media, can make a case for Judd going to the Pies.

I like Caro, and think she is one of the better footy journos going around, but it's pretty safe to say this whole Judd story has her stumped like the rest of them at the minute!

ive wondered elsewhere, but Clement going creates more problems for Collingwood for mine.. Some may think it opens the coffers more, but that was never going to be a problem for Collingwood.. Now they have positional priorities coming into play they'd rather not have right now... well thats my thinking :)

maybe this is just me.. but everyone in the press etc are all thinking the "logical' approach to all this. he oughta go here because...or he might go there because of this and that; and to me nothing about this is straightforward in that respect other than he wants to play in Melbourne mainly at the G.

I think this is an excellent point. People will never say he's going to Melbourne because they simply cannot comprehend what appeals about us. Richmond, Melbourne and Carlton are all at about the same place right now, and Richmond and Carlton supporters will simply refuse to see what is better about us than about them. Same with the media. They cannot see what the appeal is about Melbourne. On top of that we have strongly opinionated numpties like Drain Russell talking us out of it.

People quickly forget we were the best Vic Club last season and would have been close to it again if it wasn't for injurys. We are the most underrated team in the comp. If we had a superstar in our team they would talk about us. Hearing about StKilda all the time shits me seens they are the most overrated team in the comp for the simple fact they have Nick Riewoldt. Because he is a superstar they expect special things to happen

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
