Caro wins media award

Post: # 647278Post St.Kenny »

Says it all really about the standards of modern journalism . This is slap on the back to all who peddle in heresay, innuendo, gossip and rumour.

And to think people at the Age scratch their heads as Fairfax goes down the gurgler.......


My behaviour is considered acceptable in some far off remote exotic countries...

Media award for what ?


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

For breaking the news about the Gold Coast and West Sydney teams.

Say what you like about her but it was a good story and she was working on it for months.

Thoroughly deserved if you ask me.

In the same spirit I'll go with "She's better that Patrick Smith".

I thought science was all about finding the truth and asking questions...why do we all have to believe what we are told ffs ????

I agree with you.

I like her stuff, at least she doesn't pull her punches unlike the rest of the footy mafia/boys club where it all reporting by mates.

its as if he is protection his own image with everyone...yet everyone knows he would be an asshole to work/be involved with

Totally concur. The Footy Show mafia are pathetic.

Does everyone hate Caro because they think it's the cool thing to do?

I, for one like Caro as a journalist.
When she's surrounded by all that macho cowdung, and thumping of chests, she actually has an opinion that might talk about the "rights and the wrongs" of the game from both the big picture and the small picture.

Look at Hutchy-the proponent of gutter journalism. Nothing he has in an "expose" interests me as it's usually a beat up.

People tend to forget she grew up in the VFL/AFL circles because of her dad, an ex-Richmond pres, so she's had as good a grounding as you or I.

I think she has a strong understanding of the office politics that goes on at any club.
And obviously a lot of individuals are willing to talk to her

I think you will find that most of us are not female :!:

I reckon she's very good on what happens in the board rooms but fails when it comes to actually discussing football.


Win it for HIM!

I don't think it's hate, more jealousy actually that they cant do what she's doing.

Don't like what she writes?

Stiff! Just don't read it!

You are all such sheep when it come to Caro. It's so unfashionable to admit likinh her. She is definitely one of the better journos. Get over the fact she is female already.
