The exaggerated tripe she wrote about Sam Fisher speaks to her morality issues.

Re: caro
I love the way everyone assumes that there is no way in the world that there was a shred of truth to what she said about Chips, yet most would nod knowingly about Swan. Hasn't changed my opinion about either of them. I'm tipping that she's privy to about 10 times more info about players from sources 10x better than anyone on here.
Re: caro
Didn't you know each player received a halo when their number gets read by us out on draft night? Therefore, negative tripe written about them is simply lies.Moods wrote:I love the way everyone assumes that there is no way in the world that there was a shred of truth to what she said about Chips, yet most would nod knowingly about Swan.

I don't understand why, if it was lies written about those two players, why they aren't taking her or the paper to court considering their name is tarnished. One would also think with the crazy $s that are out there for endorsements and the likes that a players brand would be that important and worth fighting for. Not buying into the arguement of whether they are or arent, but surely if they are lies and are held accountable on at least a financial level it would make them think twice about it.

Re: caro
Funny how I have never seen written here about the "morality" of a male football gossip columnist
Caro is a crap writer who deals in sleaze. Cant write about football so goes in for gossip.

robbo believe chips........that's good enough for me......anyway..i'm a firm believer that players are entitled to a life away from football...especially in the off season and what chips does or doesn't do is none of kero caro flowering business, anymore than it's ours...we don't own him ....St Ick wrote:Didn't you know each player received a halo when their number gets read by us out on draft night?

Cos she did. And the promotion to Chief Football writer?
Caro isn't everyone's cup of tea, that's fine. She writes about the politics of football, not what's happening out on the ground. We have 10,000,000 journos who cover that adnauseum each week. Some of what she writes is her own opinion, or take on a situation. I don't love everything she writes, particularly when she's on her high horse. But I've learnt to just take it with a grain of salt and think, 'of course Caro will take that stance'
Just reckon the constant barbs about her looks say more about the author than the person they're talking about. Who cares how ugly or otherwise she is? It's such a 1970's comment

Re: caro
She's the lead at the Age for a reason. Very good. Always has sources.
Do people actually believe these journalist make things up? Or is it only when we are unhappy with the story?
No one from the club made a concerted effort to defend Sam. Just like Swan. Oh yeah that's right, Montagna addressed it at the airport sometime later when ambushed by media....
In actual fact, someone from the club was probably her source.
She is very good at her job. Much better than whatever people on here do.

I have no doubt it would have been someone at both clubs for Sam and Swan. They may have thought the publicity would mean they pull their heads in. As someone said Im sure they would have sued if they were completely innocent as kosi did over poor reporting a few years ago.

Re: caro
last year coming back from a well earned break she hit the headlines damning saints for not believing a schoolgirl was pregnant.
I have it on good authority she received this information from the young girl herself
What you talkin' 'bout p66..she has articles with substance then she has stories where the truth is a blot on what people want to read
Listen to finey, he's got it right. Someone needs to sue her to shut the w/bitch up

Re: caro
I recall her on FC once agreeing she will run with story at 80% accuracy!! - that's a 20% error rate to possibly smear someones name if she gets it wrong and that's good??
I don't doubt many other journos are just as bad - but hearing her admit it confirmed any doubts on her morals I had.
As Joffa said - she cant talk footy with any sense/authority so peddles smut based on 'sources'. Id have some respect if she came out and told us when one of her stories lands in the 20% flat out wrong category....but she doesnt do that....she then resorts to word games and semantics with 'I didn't technically say that....'
Decrepit, leather faced hand bag.

She is an abrasive personality in the media but I see her around malvern and she seems really polite and nice- smiles at my kids and let me go first in the supermarket line once. I get the feeling she over compensates in a male dominated domain but she does get stuff the boys club won't discuss. She is like a necessary evil or a muck raking parasite depending on how much we won't to know about a bunch of guys who can handle balls well.

If she actually wrote about football then that could be argument plugger. But the reason she is hated so much is because she is meant to be the chief football writer. But not one article is ever on the way a game was played or a footballer up an coming or Anything at all to do with football. As finey was saying on sen the other day all her and patrick smith ever do is call for heads and write gossip bulls***.
So don't try and say its because she's female it's because she writes women weekly/new idea articles on footy players.
Wouldnt suprise me if one day she'll accidentally publish a story in the paper about how Jennifer Anniston and brad Pitt are getting back together
