"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
because RIchmond are still s*** and gutless and she's trying to editorialise because she has fewer and fewer mates inside clubs.
sheehan might be gutless but he has mates in every club.
caro is going down the path of fatpryck as she marginalises all her mates in clubs with poisonous editorialisations.
not making new friends.

Making statements like there may be more to it than meets the eye re the Lovett case, Milne and the 16yo. Gee I'd like to see her served with papers and taken to court to prove her innuendos.
Maybe she should stop listening to the drunks at the bar at her local.

Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.
Meh, personally I think you can read enough between the lines to see she's on the bandwagon for this year. Obviously impressed by our club's strength compared to the rabble of the 80's and 90's.
The rest is just to sell a few papers with another Saints headline. She knows she's got nothing.
GO SAINTS.

A nasty mix of guesswork and opinion, masquerading as serious repoorting.

Are they irrelevant ? Then why bring them up?
Are they part of some "inner malaise"? You tell us! You're the reporter!

Caro dearest, you're trying to draw parallels between the Saints of now and the Eagles of 2006,
but we're not West Coast, so thanks for dredging up the past, and thanks for predicting a doom-laden future,
based on nothing more than your reading of the tea-leaves.

I read this article and thought what an absolute piece of trash journalism. Making thin links between us and WCE to somehow create a story of shite that is only fit to wipe her own butt with.
If you haven't read it do yourself a favour and don't bother. It wont educate you or entertain you. It will just make you dumber and madder for reading it.

Absolute tripe, she's a poor excuse for a football journalist yet strangely she's still the most credible on Footy Classified. If she's going to bring up the 16yo, why not mention the Pies player? If she's going to bring up the Milne case, why not dig deeper for the truth behind that story coming out? If Lovett is to be mentioned, why not cocentrate on his actions or actually explain what she means by the fallout with the others involved? If they did something illegal, say it (they didn't) or STFU!

"...but there is a real possibility he was protected by police"
A real possibility? Why, what does she know that we don't already?
A retired cop re-iterates a complaint he made at the time.
What cunning insider knowledge does she own? She's amazing.
"Why, if the young men had no case to answer, was player manager Ricky Nixon so determined to micro-manage the issue to the point of communicating with the girl on the day she was interviewed by police?"
Why not? It was a media frenzy. He's a player manager. She's amazing.
"But if there is a real problem at Moorabbin, it could all unravel pretty quickly after that."
That's precise. If there is a real problem. If it's real? Is it really possible Wilson? WILSON!! COME BACK WILSON!!
Literally anyone could have made that one up.
That could apply to literally any club.
She's amazing.

Pills 'n' Thrills and Heartaches
What did she say so wrong?
She needs to fill space and put together a straw man argument to justify it thats all.
Really dont read it if you dont like it.
Personally I thought it was a pretty confused piece. First she talks about WCE and their troubles and their fall in fortunes from 2006 to now, then she says who the Saints troubles of this year are incomparable.
However then she tries to compare them, even though she reckons the Saints have changed their culture and are much or resilient.
She brings up Lovett, then Milne, then the 16 y.o. pregnant girl (and then mysteriously tries to drum up more dirt by inferring Ricky Nixon was to involved in managing the issue?????) and inferrs that this is somehow the same, but not the same, but could be similiar, if...but...maybe.
Really a nothing piece of trying to put two and two together, giving it a back rub, comparing it to an algabretic equation (with WCE as the varible), coming up with the meaning of life (Doug Adams told us that it was 42) and then pondering the future by observing the entrails of a ritually slaughtered Oxen.
Why get upset about a puff piece?

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>)

Thats what got me - she almost willing the old saints to come back and for the club to self implode like the old days.However then she tries to compare them, even though she reckons the Saints have changed their culture and are much or resilient.
Alot of people within the media want this... Thankfully the club has finally morphed into a professional outfit that saints members have been wanting for along time for the most part.
Seeing these kinda articles are good to see - it shows how far the club has come.
2010 the year of sticking it right up them

Good assessment. Stats there incompariable - then attempts to compare. What a joke, and I like caro.joffaboy wrote:What did she say so wrong?
