Really? What for?

Because she needed to find something to stick into the players and found nothing but went with the story.

The story being that Cripps and Doc stayed at a swanky hotel in Paddington while the players slimmed in their own hotels.

C&D were with the players the whole time until the team flew out. They then went to the swanky hotel with their wives who were there and had the weekend off which was pre planned and approved by the club. So she lied and he is calling her out on it.

Judging by what he wrote, assuming she had a go at him for staying in Sydney after the game and not flying back with the team?
Didn't actually see/hear her comments but that's what he is alluding to in his post.

Also being told she claimed that he and Doc stayed in a better hotel than the rest of the team.

CK put the article link in the Sydney post match thread.

Just on Caro, did I correctly hear her say that we signed Andrew Russell at the end of last year for a further 2 years? Is that correct?

probably

it's outrageous the length of deals we're handing out. for a middling, plodding team not showing much, the rewards are high. apparently

I thought it was a bit ordinary seeing Cripps coming back a day later.

But I didn't realise they had the weekend off and would have stayed up on their own dime.

This would be a non story if we were doing better this season.

Spreading out the lofty sum he was owed?

Surely Mike gets a pass? He's highly intelligent, and doesn't seem the type that would foster a "boys' club" environment.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in the role.

I"d be begging him to get on board .

We have looked backwards for over 25 years now and we haven't achieved anything.

I see where you're coming from, and I would agree if we were talking about more or less any other ex-player.

But I can't help but feel that Mike is above that sort of behaviour.

Fingers crossed everything works out for Sayers and the club, so we don't have to find out.

Fells swoops

I agree, I think he would be also.
However, the question we all have to ask is, do the Old Boys of Carlton believe they wouldn't be able to influence him?
I hope we don't have to find out also.

Yes , got a big mention in todays Financial Review .
