    I think the reason most people don't like her is because, like so many of the Age journalists, she's so cynical and conservative. Wilson, along with Greg Balme, is always the first to call for players' heads for things like on-field melees and such (or something else trivial along those lines). Caro rarely has anything positive to say, she prefers to take the critical angle. I know the Age prides itself on that, but it doesn't win them too many friends (but then, they aren't in the business of making friends).

    Wilson is nothing but a Tiger stooge. Lets face it its in the Tigers interest if he does choose Collingwood.

    Collingwood is the team most unlikely to get the deal done with the Eagles ... hence the pre season draft becomes an option.

    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!

    Gerard Healy said what makes you think that? she said well he said he wanted to play in big games and at the MCG umm ahh, SHE KNOWS JACKSHIT like everyone else. Healy got it right when he said "I realy don't know how they can pull it off as they have no early picks" he thinks he's going to us

    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

    thats absolute crap, everyone has their opinion just like Caro

    I actually find a lot of what she writes quite interesting for the most part. Its often a different view than that taken by many of the "know alls". But occasionally she annoys me by offering up twaddle with absolutley nothing to back it...other than her "feelings on the matter'

    We ( MFC ) dont rate amongst much of the media ( except of course any that have at some time come in contact with us...funny that!! ) and as such we're never seen as a logical path for ...well anything !! But the facts bely this.

    well fair enough on some levels.

    BUT on 3aw on sunday caroline wilson "bagged " dean bailey big time !!didn't take her long heh !

    due to the comment by bailey that he thought that one should recruit the "BEST PLAYERS" regardless of size !!!

    preferable to going for key position players.

    SHE thought this was extraordinary and as such, taking the opposite view !!

    maybe she thinks she would do a better job as coach ??or recruiting ??

    not helping your cause if she is the one and only woman spokesperson in the football media

    I guess that makes Robert Walls 'solid evidence' that there is no place for men in football.

    Pull your finger out.

    Seriously YM, you are a tool.

    Caro, whilst not being a favorite journo of mine at least has the guts to ask the hard questions as she is aware she will never be in the "boys club".

    There is not place for a sexist attention seeking [censored] like you in this forum.

    Bailey would have saved us Luke Molan then and we might have had a star player instead. Didn't Dal Santo go later in that draft plus a heap of others.

    In all my time on various forums on the internet Yze Magic is the most attention seeking individual I have come across. He got chased off big footy which speaks volumes.

    No she asks the personal questions.

    She tries to turn her columns into New Idea. I dont mind her on Radio, but she goes over the top in print much like Patrick Smith.

    I remember a couple of years back when we had a down year it seemed anything she wrote was derogatory towards the MFC. 1 year down with injuries and it looks like we are in the same boat again.... I have no respect for her.

    Tell me a sports journalist/reporter that is liked.

    They don't exist.

    btw Caro is so much better then Fatprick Smith.

    Have a sook

    I wasn't being sexist or having a go at women

    Women are useful in many ways. They are good at making sandwiches, good at cleaning and some of them are useful in bed

    As for footy - they simply have no place

    I think she talks too much dribble about players social lives and looks and sounds like an absolute tool. I cannot bring myself to listen too her. Shes a critic thats all she is, shes never played the game, maybe done the rounds at the local footy club and makes her claim to fame by dribbling [censored]. She has no credentials to comment on the game as an expert

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
