Yes indeed. I hope we are cleared (if we in fact have acted in a reasonable and compliant manner) and I hope we savage this women into oblivion.robrulz5 wrote:How will we "cast a pall over the integrity of the 2013 finals series" if we are found innocent?
I hope the club goes after her in a big way when all of this blows over, it may just change the media's perception on writing articles without facts.
I will pay someone 10,000 if they managed to publicly hung her from windy hill.tonysoprano wrote:Yes indeed.

Does anyone actually buy the paper for Caro's crap though? There's far more to the news than just sport (that may surprise some people) and Caro is a tiny part of the sport section.BenDoolan wrote:Sells newspapers?

It's not just about Caro, it's how things are "reported" in general. A lot of it is sensational and they just try to shock and outrage the reader. They do it in general news, and sport has followed suit.j-mac31 wrote:Does anyone actually buy the paper for Caro's crap though?

Either or both. In this case it will be both as she has constantly used the title of 'Chief Football Writer' at The Age in a feeble attempt to give her hateful, vindictive rants credibility.vern wrote:Ossie -you're an journo so hopefully you'll know the answer to this. In a defamation case about something that has been printed or gone to air in a newspaper, bulletin etc, who gets sued? The journo? The organisation they work for? Both?
This article was just 'reporting' what happened at Hirdy's presser yesterday. No back-peddling or squaring-up here.JockStraps wrote:The legal expert in me suggest this piece printed by Fairfax today and source from AAP and not one of its in house journos is a strategic play at presenting a "balanced approach" to the Essendon Supplements Scandal

A direct reference to Wilson's rant in yesterdays The Age newspaper leaves no doubt in my mind that the editors have probably realized that they have pushed their own envelope too far in a journalistically experimental environment. Thus their decision to print this article. This is like the boss making an example of a bad employee to cover his own arse.
I honestly doubt we will hear another word from Wilson until after the investigation findings are releases and god help her if it is shown Essendon has no case to answer to.
TITLE: Please Rohan do something about Wilson and her lies
Rohan,
As one of the few credible sports journalists left at The Age, we need some balance on the reporting on the so called supplements story.
Caroline Wilson is conducting a vendetta against Essendon, and in particular James Hird, and there needs to be some balance to counteract her latest tirade where she has stooped to literally making stuff up.
The real story is ASADA wrongly advising Essendon. I look forward to your banner headline front page exclusive when Essendon, its players and coaches and in particular James Hird are exonerated. At least when I read articles from you I believe that you are reporting from that unique point of view - that old fashioned thing called THE TRUTH.
Do something to stop that woman’s lies please Rohan.
Yours Sincerely,
MH_Bomber (insert my actual name)
