I concur that the 2 journos in question are merely trying to tease out a dead issue to justify their own existence
hell.. do they both really need to be reminded that any 4-year-old ( and most savvy journalists) will tell you that you can never get into trouble for telling the truth
and that there is much wisdom in these two proverbs
the truth hurts

if the cap fits wear it!
good for you Roo your a champion in more ways than one M8!

Yep, like Mike Sheahan, Mark Robinson, Mark Stevens, Greg Baum, Jake Niall.......all had extensive AFL careers.
Probably as long as yours. Her opinion, like yours, is just as valid as their's. And mine.
Everybody has an opinion. AFL is an opinion business.
In my opinion, true or not, Roo would regret his comments to Lovett. It's not a classy thing to do, and he's very aware of his 'branding'. He would regret it for sure.
Much like Montgomery regretting what he said to Ramanauskas last year.

Michael Voss led a team that:
- Deliberately Attacked an injured player
- Broke a guy’s hand by chucking him into the fence
- Cheated by using intravenous drips at half-time of matches
- Included Martin Pike (I don’t have the time to list everything he’s done)
- Included Adam Heuskes, who from all accounts has done far worse than Nick Riewoldt or even Andrew Lovett have ever done.
Can’t wait until you take the Gold Coast coaching job and realise three weeks into your seven year contract that you can’t coach and that your motivational pap is considered tacky and pointless.
And by the way, Michael Voss...you f*cking bash blokes outside the Prince of Wales. Am I being unsportsmanlike?

25 minutes to make a name for yourself like you've never made before.
I didn't say they were the same comment. I said he would regret making the comment, like Montgomery regretted his comment to Rama.
Montgomery's was much worse, in my opinion.
My point is, both would regret making them......actually, I think Roo's regret will only come that the comments were made public.

Channel 7 blew up the Harvey/Aka incident (Source: Robert Harvey)
Channel 7 blew this one up too
Sounds to me like they are winding those Umpires mic's up to catch comments they can then beat up into "stories"
I thought at the first sign of player / umpire confrontation they had to turn the mics off...or now that every damn game is on delay they are less worried cso they can mute it out later?????

How is it relevant to even mention that incident? I'm sure Montgomery did, considering it a very very low thing to say! Riewoldt simply stated a fact.SENsaintsational wrote:I didn't say they were the same comment. I said he would regret making the comment, like Montgomery regretted his comment to Rama..
I think Nick's only regret will be ex-players like Michael Voss, who really ought to know better, carrying on like pork chops.
Montgomery's comment about Rama's health was also a true situation. That's the relevance. It was also a fact that Rama had undergone chemo treatment....Montgomery just took it one step further.Lennon wrote:How is it relevant to even mention that incident?

Just because it's true, doesn't make it appropriate. Personally, I wouldn't say it. Others would, so be it.
Anyone remember a certain Winmar/Franchina incident a few years ago? Franchina, reportedly, had a go at Winmar's family and the death of his father. True comments. Fact. Appropriate? No way known.
The regret will be the publicity generated. Media driven. Given his time again, would Roo say it? Probably. Should he? Probably not.

Caro is a talentless deadbeat, like Hutchy she turns nothing into something, the game would be better without the pair of them.
As for Voss he has done nothing wrong IMO, it wasn't his article, it was Samantha Lane's and all he really did wasy say you can sledge blokes but there's a line, Roo crossed it. A lot of people would agree with that, probably Roo himself.
Can we all stop being so precious, if McPhee said it to one of our blokes we would be up in arms...
IMO all that has come out of this is another forgettable story, something else oppo fans can bag Roo for and Caro's reputation going down that little bit further.
I would like the make it clear that the following comment has nothing to do with Sam Lane being a woman...
She is a complete moron that knows as much about footy as the average 2 year old, whenever you see an article with her name under it, ignore it.
Before the game were the first people to actually comment on the issue and she was the first one to mention anything racial.

Journo's
Journalists are supposed to report the news. They are not supposed to plug their own opinions.

Caro used to play netball in her early years..........
I don't think there was much wrong with what Roo said,it was quite humorous to see him run in and give andrew a relative serve.................
Roo probably couldn't give a faaaaaaaaaark about his comment,it's only the reaction of the politically correct morons who manage to find it reprehensible that has given the comment a life of it's own...
The media is having a field day with it,getting plenty of mileage out of an inconsequence...
I hope he sticks it up someone this week over in SA....

Did anyone actually hear the sledge at the time? I think not.
The only way it could be heard by anyone other than those on the field is when it's enhanced by channel 7.
Still can't hear it on beeped replays.
Carro should be having a go at any TV station that has played it, not at a captain sticking up for his teammate and denouncing domestic violence.
I don't see what your problem is SENsational.

Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell
You people are incredible
Stop attacking Caro because she is
a) a woman
b) an older woman.
It is cheap and tacky and nasty. I am sure Caro is as old as some of your mothers. Would you like your mum abused the way you are abusing Caro?
Attack her opinion, but FFS wake up to yourself and dont personally attack her.
Oh and I have see some of you lot and you aint no bloody ol paininting either.
Glass houses you bunch of ugly pricks.
Oh and Caro, your opinion is crap and you haven't got a clue with your high handed moralising and holier than thou stance.
Complete rubbish, and I suspect, you know it.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

5 prelims in 7 years. 40 wins from 49 games.
2009 and 2010 were 2 of the 5 best years ever by the St.Kilda FC.
Thanks for all your efforts Saints.
