I don't mind Caro. Yeah, she's a pessimistic bitcch and looks like she'd fit into the cast of Prisoner, but so what. Good on her for packing a ten incher and getting carnts to assume the position.

It's amazing how an article meant to be about Greg Miller (her words) ends up being one about how talented and wonderful the alternative ticket members are ::).
She could save herself so much time writing such long articles but just having a full page spread in the Age with "Vote for Macek ticket" in large sized font.
Use to have alot time for Caro but it's going to be hard to take anything she says about off-field issues at Richmond seriously in the future as she's thrown away the main thing IMO a journalist/reporter should have - independence!
-
Man what an article, you can't buy that sort of free advertising, the alternates are gunna be stoked.
It tells me though that she thinks the incumbents are way out in front. Trying to level things out are we Caroline?
-
As a RFC member Caro should declare a conflict of interest. She should state quite clearly that she is voting for one side and that she is biased.
She has no problems stating that Miller has a conflict of interest :banghead
-
what a hilarious topic for a thread.
I.like Johnnyf used to despise her but am now accepting of her homosexual suppression
and at times enjoy her applying that strap on and going for a strolldown to puint road
-
After reading this weekends gem from Caro - I agree with Jake we need to sticky this topic - some of this is priceless :help
Firstly......
From...http://www.realfooty.theage.com.au/realfooty/articles/2004/12/11/1102625584492.html?oneclick=true
"This column has devoted copious amounts of space to Greg Miller over the years and it is fitting as the year draws to a close that we do so again as football's popular and charismatic wheeler-dealer puts the finishing touches on yet another deal."
Merry Xmas Caro and a happy new year :P ;D
and this .....
"Should Casey lose - and this columnist believes he does not deserve another term and questions his motivation in trying to stay - then Miller will go and Terry Wallace will be forced to find a new recruiting man."
I would never would have guessed that the writer believes Casey doesn't deserve another term - I am absolutely shocked by that one :o :gobdrop as for motivation - I hear it's because he wants to give you something to write about Caro ;D
and finally ... and people reckon I am biased ::)
"Macek's ticket boasts more skills and is more diverse than Casey's and again it is unfair to criticise the fact that Brendan Schwab and Peter Welsh served during the Casey-Frawley years when Casey ran his board largely as a one-man band and both directors quit because they had lost faith in him."
Question 1 about diverse skills - would have been nice for this to be explain as to why? I mean who says?
Question 2 - why is it unfair (and gee the Caro bias surfaces here IMO) to criticise Schwab and Weslh. The fact is whether Caro or anyone else wants to recognise it is very very simple - they were both on the board durng the last 5 years. Schwab was in charge of the Governance Comitteee that presented the last budget to the board. Now Caro may not deem any of this relevant but it is to me and it is about responsibility. As for this continually one man band business - who says Caro - the 2 blokes you keep defending?
R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y: not a new concept Caro
As a RFC member Caro should declare a conflict of interest. She should state quite clearly that she is voting for one side and that she is biased.
She has no problems stating that Miller has a conflict of interest :banghead
Conflict what conflict :help :help
I have said it once and I'll say it again in my eyes Caro has no credibility on this topic - she has been extrememtly biased on this topic since she ran her first piece on Brendan Schwab back in Mar/April
Oh well :-\

What constitutes a conflict of interest? ::)
If a certain candidate were to "tickle the fancy" ;) or "stroke the ego' :-X of impressionable females who under normal circumstances would struggle to attract attention and in return receives favourable free publicity is this not dirty pool?
Or is all fair in football and politics? :shh

This campaign has opened my eyes to a few things and it just floors me how people in the media, press and radio make totally ignorant comments about something they know very little and sometimes absolutely nothing about. If they knew even a little bit of the history of RFC then you could accept their views if they were based on the whole picture, rather than just the last 5 years.
What’s more aggravating is that even so-called “informed” opinions are irresponsible and unbalanced in their comments and present half the story they want told and throw in token references to the other side of the debate, just to make it look like they are switched on and even-handed. We wouldn’t want professionalism to get in the way of personal bias, would we?
Maybe it’s me who needs to open my other eye, but throughout this whole thing, no one has been able to explain what the alternative group offers. And when commentators say “it’s time for change”, what do they mean and why? On the basis of what? None of them explain that. We’re supposed to follow, like sheep, and hang on to every word they say. Fortunately, most people can think for themselves.
We all know the last 5 years has been unacceptable but that’s not enough reason to change, to me. Because that’s exactly what’s been the problem with this footy club over the last 20+ years. These people just don’t get that and don’t understand that it hasn’t worked before. So why will it work now? And why will people who have been there before and who are prepared to find scapegoats and someone to blame when things go wrong make a difference now? Won’t they just give us more of what we’ve had? Haven’t we all had enough of running around in circles and always getting back to solving all our problems the same way they were created?
Caro’s entitled to her opinion. But if she reckons she’s been professional throughout this campaign then I haven’t seen where. I don’t mind if someone’s opinion is different to mine, but where’s the credibility in her argument?
She explains her call for change by saying that Casey has been there long enough. What if the alternative openly demonstrates they have even less of a clue? Do we actually care about Richmond here?

Apparently there wasn't anything major to write about today. Looks like it might be a while before Caro's next article on the Tiges ;).

I think poor Caro may still be in a state of shock and disbelief ;D ;D like a few other people :thumbsup :cheers :rollin

My guess is that she's on holidays!!
Highly coincedental that when there's positive Richmond articles in the age, Caro is nowhere to be seen!!

I thought this thread was about someone watching a jar of coffee substitute. How wrong was I. :-[

Don't feel too bad tiga. When the "ASL" thread first started I thought the title referred to a technical computer question and figured I couldn't help. I finally went to read it when people kept posting there and thought it must be interesting. :P :rollin

Great to see the biatch has her own thread.A disgrace to her father and certainly no ally of the RFC. >:(.
-
News is that she went in for a facelift at the Royal Melbourne, the surgeon went to pull the slack behind her ears, and was last seen halfway across the nullabor.
-
when is GINA HARD FACED BITCH back missing here denigrating articles about RFC......
noticed when she was on 7 the poor makeup dept must have had a hard time applying the makeup looked she just stepped of the set of extreme makeover....
not even that would help that turncoat.... :lol
-
I wouldnt be suprised if she is secretly spying on all at Richmond currently in an effort to get the next big scoup that will bring the club to our knees.
So any of you guys that currently see the boys train, if u see an old hag in a trench coat scribbling notes down and sneaking around the joint, pick up a rock and ditch her way.

I can just imagine the demented prune face waiting in the bushes ready to pounce. Well it wont be this weekend biatch. :lol

Captaincy quest looks clear-cut
Terry Wallace's intriguing search for Richmond's new captain has been unveiled publicly as a four-man competition that can be split into two groups. One group comprises a pair of lifelong and career Tigers whose fathers played in premiership teams and, in the other group, are new chums Kane Johnson and Nathan Brown.
That neither of the first two, Matthew Richardson and Joel Bowden, have any hope of winning the job should not be considered an insult. The very fact that both aspire to lead the club on-field should provide some encouragement to Richmond fans who have watched both young men display flashes of brilliance and even lengthy periods of consistency over the years, but, realistically, never leadership skills.
That they are the sole contenders from the group that has served at the club for any period longer than two seasons is clearly a savage indictment of the poor state of affairs at Tigerland and one clear explanation for the club's poor performances over the past decade or two.
So the choice comes down to Brown and Johnson. The new coach, while clearly holding the last card as the announcement of the new skipper draws closer, will also be able to quite honestly say that the choice was made following an unprecedented and rigorous amount of research.
Not only did Wallace bring in external consultants to analyse the contenders and force the club to focus on its priorities, he also canvassed pretty much everyone within the club, including the senior list, to unearth the best man for the job.
The word from inside is that the players, who were given little notice before voting, were largely united in their choice. Wallace has refused to discuss the results of any questionnaire, but my guess is that Johnson easily would have won the players' poll.
The worst you could say about Johnson is that he is a relatively introverted public performer and a solid, reliable player who will never win a match off his own boot. Brown can be a matchwinner and a media darling, but it is Johnson who deserves to get the job and not simply because his tenure at Tigerland is double that of the former Bulldog, who arrived only after season 2003.
The football department, when asked to rank the team's leadership requirements, placed discipline, responsibility and communication significantly ahead of such terms as "visionary" and "big picture".
Wallace's predecessors would have given Johnson the job without any such external guidance.
Brown is a star, a risk-taker and reportedly has impressed his old Bulldog coach with his growing maturity, but surely discipline and responsibility sit more comfortably with Johnson, who has slipped happily, if quietly, into his new role at the struggling club. Brown has a quirkiness that has helped make him a great player at times and which appeals to his fans, but is quirky what is required for the most exciting group of young recruits the club has had in decades?
Johnson, the former Crow who turns 27 in two weeks, is the only AFL premiership player on the list - he played in both the 1997 and '98 sides - and has finished second in his first two club championships at Richmond.
If his quiet demeanour is a concern in a group that has not exactly set the competition alight with its on-field personality, then Johnson has proved a relatively responsible performer in a team seemingly incapable of reaching a collective on-field decision last season. He also is said to have become more talkative among his peers and, let's face it, with Wallace as coach, it's obvious who'll be handling communication with the outside world.
Wallace has not shied away from promoting his new side - quite the opposite. Until Richmond narrowly lost its Wizard Cup match against Collingwood, it was being afforded publicity worthy of an AFL grand finalist. Selling hope alongside membership and sponsorship is a significant part of Wallace's job description and he already has performed it with the expected aplomb.
The greatest hope of all is that among the teenage contingent at Richmond exist two or three clear captains and not simply players who have become famous as draft picks Nos. 1 and 2. Brown, as a member of the leadership group whatever the captaincy result, will show them brilliance and how to exert it. Johnson will teach them on-field responsibility, accountability and how to make even their poor performances better than mediocre.
Both choices have their appeal but, considering the club's history and where it now sits, the latter would appear to be the priority.

Uh huh - righty o then :help :-\ ::)

To degree I have to agree with this comment. We've been saying for years that we lack leaders - this statement reflects this to a point

Pin the tail on the donkey anyone ;D

Gotta agree - though the positive PR has been appearing in the HUN (or as Sheeds called it last week the Tiger Gazette :lol) not the Age - what a surprise :o

Wrinkles Wilson predicts we will finish 11th, which is the most favourable prediction of all the hacks at the Age. Well done wrinkles.
-
typical of caro...she'll plump the tiges there (11th) and if they go off the boil it allows her to start bagging them in the paper...
if there is anyone who should b esscorted away in the back of a divvy van it should b that biatch..... :banghead

Caro's gone for the Cats by 5 goals.
What's worse is Mike Sheahan and Roberts Walls have tipped us to win :gobdrop
Worse news of the lot is that Spud is going to be doing the special comments for the Tiges vs Cats this Sunday on MMM. So yeah nah step up to the plate and bring your walkman so you're cherry ripe to listen I would've thought ;D.

I read it but I nearly didn't believe it :gobdrop :gobdrop
Caro has done a really good article and I mean a really GOOD article on Richo and his 200th in today's Sunday Age (1/5/05)
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh FINALLY ;) ;D
-
Perhaps this can be unstickied, this forum is a little cluttered with sooo many stickies!
-
If it were to be un-stickied it would be for a different reason for me than yours Razor.
It seems Caro is either not getting dodgy information from her dodgy Richmond sources any more or she's still getting dodgy information but has twigged her sources at Richmond are dodgy and doesn't use their dodgy information any more.
Whatever the reason her articles are better for it, so there soon may be no need to watch her. :thumbsup
I like having the threads that are stickied always at the top. I don't find it cluttered. Each to their own. :)

From: Proof will take priority
By Caroline Wilson
The Age
September 4, 2005
But their evidence was flimsy and, according to some commissioners, unconvincing. Those AFL board members, who had witnessed the Tigers' celebration after picking up Brent Deledio and Richard Tambling last November — a celebration that helped Clinton Casey win an election — along with the volumes of hope Hawthorn and the Bulldogs were able to sell to their members, told Anderson and the others to go back to the drawing board.
http://www.realfooty.theage.com.au/realfooty/articles/2005/09/03/1125302784767.html
Caro we would love another Deledio to come down and join Brett ;D
