Eddie now boasting he was right. SEN is too replaying promos with what Eddie said .Get out of the beltway Eddie McGuire | July 05, 2009
On the night that Richmond's hopes were smashed by Carlton I made the comment, based on being a reporter of the game for more than 30 years, that if the Tigers did not win another game within the month and were beaten by Melbourne then Terry Wallace was gone and there would be a big push to get Kevin Sheedy as coach.
Wilson is a passionate Richmond fan. In her flaying of my views, she said: "I should know better" that "no way would Sheedy coach again nor would he want to".
She even pulled out the hoary chestnut of conflict of interest - that by saying such a thing I was doing so to further Collingwood's ends and destabilise Richmond.
A little over three months later and guess what? The Tigers lost those games, Wallace is gone and during the week Sheedy, backed by club legends Kevin Bartlett, Francis Bourke and Tom Hafey, has declared he wants the Richmond coaching job.
It seems Caro has fallen for the Canberra three-card trick of going on her opinions rather than the facts, or confusing the two.
What the public are saying is it's time to go back to time-honoured practices of checking and reporting the facts. Leave the guessing to the bloggers.
