The hypocrisy is breathtaking!
Caroline Wilson provides less criticism of the CFC,than any of the posters residing here are capable of!

Hate all journo's is the MO around here DOA.

Easy targets

Caroline Wilson rides in on a big white horse telling us that "the British are coming" and everyone thinks she is Paul Revere and saving us from the inevitable.

The British have been and gone - we have been raped and pillaged.

Wilson's motives are not altruistic and are laced with agenda.

She's not telling me anything I dont know.

She hides behind her smarmy catch all phrase "its my understanding"

and then drops her leaked bile.

She wants to dish it out she should be able to take it - this is football she is writing about not politics.

I fail to understand the vitriol espoused here toward Caro - she hits the mark far more often than others (must have a good source, hey?), and, largely, calls it as it is. Perhaps some of what she writes hits a little too closely to home for some, but the blunt fact of the matter is that the club needs to get its act together - the Wilsons of this world commit very few negative column inches to happy, harmonious and successful football clubs.

I never make it a rule to not watch or read things just because I dont like or agree with the person.

She's pretty ugly

But I reckon she's the best investigative footy journo out there.

Her role at theAge is to do exactly what she does ... report mainly on the off field machinations of AFL football. Of course she will report on what is happening at Carlton, particularly when it is as newsworthy as events have been over the last 5 years ... that is her agenda, to do her job.

I totally disagree that she does it in any vindictive manner ... she simply reports on as much as she can ascertain, is usually fairly well on the moiney, and is clearly a favourite of sneaky leakers far and wide, because they know their info will be treated reasonably.

My point refering to her writing about football not politics .... is referencing the emotions stirred up by the subject.

Sorry Headplant I disagree she is vindictive, her use of Demetrispew when he wanted a platform for his campaign leading up to Black Friday 2002 is more than enough evidence.

Caroline reports what's going on, and the biggest football story of the off-season (and indeed during the season) is the continued ineptness of the Carlton board. It's a damn good thing she writes the stuff she does as it educates otherwise ignorant Carlton supporters on the haplessness of our Board and administration. She is not vindictive, she calls it as she sees it reporting the news she gets from her sources. Of course she's not going to get it right every time, I don't get it right every time in my job.

*edited by Moderators*

I actually think from the side of people that hate Caro because she is reporting the news.
Brissy Blue is a great poster.
Not so much for his Caro watch work.. but for alot of other stuff he posts.


Look i think its natural to defend your club... but i think its brave to question what you might believe are fundamental flaws . ...

The day Caro stops giving us space is the day we're seriously rooted.

I find it hard to gauge the feelings of Blues supporters on these board issues.

Some of you stubbornly defend everything the club does and seem to support the incumbent board and coach (a minority it seems)

Others have adopted the attitude of Sticks in Caro's most recent article ... @#$%&! off, we're Carlton. IMHO this way of thinking will only help to extend the Blue's problems.

Others again just want stability on and off-field and a smooth transition to a new coach and President (the majority).

To me, Caro seems to know what she is on about, and it seems the Blues are in dire straights financially. She generally reports something pretty close to the mark ... why do you all slander her for what she has said? Obviously there are elements of truth in it ...
