I just cant get past that 'look at moi' hair flick she constantly does on FC.... and I cant decide who is the least attractive out of her, hutchy and GT.

All have good heads for radio.

Hutchy definately takes out the least attractive. Closely followed by Caro, GT gets some bonus points for wearing St Kilda colours (Refer 'hot saints' thread.)

PS. Do we have a bye or something this weekend?

The point is- she cant even talk properly, why should she have a view and work in the media?

Why shouldnt she. She obviously good at what she does or she wouldnt be head footy writer of the Age or be on radio and on TV.

She also named Alastair Smith in her best 22 at the start of the season.

Perhaps you should apply the same standards to your own posts as you apply to everyone else's.

What does that actually mean? Do you have a copy of the article that Caro wrote?

Is it a full moon at the moment?

Or have I strayed into a Collingwood hateful fan forum.

Getting frickin' sick of the agro, I'll give you the tip.

I actually thought everyone was having a bit of fun for a change.

I actually like/agree with Caro's opinions more often than not.

Caro is good at what she does. She's not an expert on the technical aspects of the game and doesn't pretend to be so. She reports on the human and professional relationships of the AFL world, drawing on observed behaviour and private gossip.

A paper once published a photo of a young Caro, and she looked pretty tasty to me. Like many of us (and I'm sure many of you) she hasn't aged especially well. So bloody what. I might be being a bit unfair in accusing some of those posters who dump endlessly on Gwilt and Raph of racism, but the only way of describing negative statements about Caro's appearance is to call them what they are: "sexism".

As for Caro's predictions at the start of the season, she wasn't too far off the mark re Carlton (who I still reckon are running neck and neck with the Lions for 4th spot at the end of 22 rounds).

Yes, she was wrong about Richmond. But she's a Tigers supporter. I was wrong about the Saints in 2006 and 2007: I thought we'd make the GF in both of those seasons. I'm sure many of you were too. On the scale of stupid things written by journos about AFL, Caro's prediction that the Tigers would finish ahead of the Saints this year doesn't even appear on the radar screen for mine.

And I had the Tigers in my top 8 at the start of this year. They have been profoundly disappointing.

So lay off Caro.

This post is sane. Logical. Well written. Smart.

It has no place on this forum.
