I have no idea what the hell you are on about.

Re Selwood: questioning someones character is completely different to questioning someones footy ability.

Do you think it was a coincidence that they had career best games, at the same time, straight after she gave them a wack?
What are you even arguing here? The point is that she was not justified in questioning the development of these two particular players, given their terrific development to date. It's not that hard.
 
She was the main media force behing the Ratten sacking - she constantly claimed to have a "source" at Carlton - it was unrelenting until she was challenged on it and exposed as blatantly lying.

All I ever used to hear from Carro was "My sources tell me" - now - not so much. Bridges burned.

.
wouldn't be too quick to discount her as a pretty savvy football and sports journo - the hatred for her around here would be blatant sexism if it wasn't for some of the other misguided junk towards so called "anti-carlton" media contributors.......

Oh my god - are you kidding me with this ?

Its irrelevant what its about ! Its like saying Sammo isn't Aboriginal. Judd wasn't explosive. Plugger couldn't kick straight. Do you even know and understand what an analogy is ?

Yes. The entire team lifted - we beat the doggies by almost 10 goals - everyone in the team lifted. You might as well be claiming its Carros comments that spurred us on to win.

Do you know who watched that show, and drew inspiration from those comments - NO ONE FROM CARLTON FOOTBALL CLUB.

If she had of said if about Fisher - you would be saying the same.
 
umm.........I was thinking that it would have been showed to them, and they would have been questioned internally about whether that sat right with them, and it fired them up and they came out and had career best games.

Which is why you think Caro was right to question the development of both players?

Both players had career best performances, not because they suddenly decided to try a bit harder, but because the team as a whole lifted and everyone benefited. Previous games we'd get a run on, and run straight into a turnover because there was no support. This week we had 5, 6, 7 players sprinting on the transition so players could handball off and keep the play moving. Cripps also put away his usual MO of winning the ball and trying to do everything himself from that point on, and just fed the ball out to blokes in better position. It made us less predictable and gave more responsibility to the midfield group beyond Cripps.

And surprise surprise, when the midfield are clearing the ball easier and we're finding space in the middle of the ground, the forwards were able to lead and receive well-directed kicks to their advantage.

If am individual can be credited with the improvement, it's Cripps. He gave the team a fair shake up after the GC loss and told them to take responsibility for their own performances. Being young and inexperienced is a valid reason for inconsistency, but it's a crutch we've leaned heavily on for too long.

Give it a rest.

You've said similar about anyone who has ever questioned a female on any issue during your entire tenure on this website. Sooooo - yeah.

Not a lot of credibility on that front sorry Thy.

Don’t pull out the misogyny card - male, female, intersex, androgynous I’ll call out slime wherever it presents itself, and Caroline Wilson is a prime purveyor of it.

Eh? Disagree really. Think she's not so good at understanding football but has a nose (well used to) for 'dirt' and would gleefully put her nose in everyone's baggage looking for ways to bring them down. Think she's realistically a very poor football journalist, used to be a good investigative journalist but clearly enjoyed bringing people down way too much, evidenced by all those burnt bridges between her and her sources, who seem to have all deserted her.

Don't care about your sexism remark was rebutting that she was ever a good footy journo :). Investigative, yes. Footy, no.
