I'm not going to link the article because I don't want her to be getting hits on her pages, but Carro has decided to burn the midnight oil and 'write' an article once again based on opinion and speculation in order to attempt to put a dampener on our amazing victory.

It really goes to show how vindictive and desperate she has become. I pray that the EFC go after her and all of the other journo's after the truth comes out.

She's claiming Essendon are divided.

Did she watch tonight's game?
 
Serious inconsistencies in James Hird's version of events that took place during last year's football season have become a matter of grave concern for the Essendon board.
With Hird determined to continue to coach the Bombers as he prepared to give evidence to ASADA and the AFL next week, divisions have emerged at the club over his role. On Friday, AFL chief Andrew Demetriou said Hird should consider standing aside.
No proof has emerged that Hird knowingly took the WADA-banned substance Hexarelin but his key role in the edgy supplements regime that punctuated much of the 2012 Bombers' training program has also been investigated by the club-instigated inquiry led by Ziggy Switkowski.
There is a view among some Essendon directors that Hird's position could become untenable as shifting irregularities emerge in his explanations of what took place in 2012 as his players were regularly injected and intravenously treated with a cocktail of substances - some of which allegedly had not been fully cleared for human consumption.

Essendon still cannot assure its players they did not take banned substances.
Hird's version of the part he personally played in the program has varied. Hird has moved to engage separate legal representation from the club in Queen's counsel Tony Nolan, who reportedly advised the club legend not to step aside for Mark Thompson before Friday night's clash with Fremantle.
Tony Hargreaves is acting for the club while assistant coaches Simon Goodwin and James Byrne have engaged another QC, Chris Pollard.
The Hird camp has claimed the coach will tell ASADA he received just two injections from sports scientist Stephen Dank, which he believed to be amino acids. This claim is inconsistent with previous information received by the AFL and completely at odds with Dank's version of events.
The Switkowski investigation is due to be completed next week, with the board expected to hold accountable at least two senior executives who reportedly failed to provide good governance over the so-called ''irregular practices'' at Essendon.
With the ASADA investigation expected to last for much of the season, the board could act as early as this month with club chief executive Ian Robson and football department boss Danny Corcoran unlikely to survive.
''I won't be stepping down … I'll get ready for the game,'' was Hird's response on Friday to calls he should stand aside until the ASADA investigation had been completed.
Earlier Demetriou said on 3AW: ''As he goes through his thought process … that is an
option he has to consider.'' Demetriou added: ''He's entitled to be able to put his position forward, which he will get the opportunity [to do] next week with ASADA.
Demetriou said the more he found out in briefings about the issue, the more concerned he became. ''You can't help but be disappointed, particularly as you . . understand more about what was going on. You'd appreciate I've got briefings that are more advanced than what's in the public domain.
''I think it's terribly important that we now get the investigations finalised quickly. Then we can get to the truth.''
Dank, meanwhile, has challenged Demetriou to publicly identify any of the controversial concoctions the AFL boss considers injurious to players in the competition.
''The last time I checked Andrew Demetriou had no medical or scientific background. He is way out of line.
''I would not endanger any person or any athlete through my work. It's time for him to pull his head in,'' he told Channel Nine.
Corcoran's role in the investigation remains intriguing. The AFL and ASADA have been told it was Corcoran who was entrusted with checking Dank's credentials after Dank was introduced by club sports scientist Dean Robinson and interviewed by Hird.
Corcoran stood down Robinson in February, the day the club revealed it had reported itself to ASADA and the AFL. Hird said that day he took ''full responsibility'' for the training practices.
Essendon could not explain on Friday why an attempt by club doctor Bruce Reid to alert the board to his concerns about the practices was never communicated to directors.

I would put money that she aint sleepin a wink tonight.

re-writing lots of crap..
 
I didn't think a single thing was going to ruin my night, until I saw that article. How dare she even have the nerve to come out with something like that after our performance.

I am baffled. Has someone threatened to kill her if she doesn't try her best to drag Hird's reputation through the mad ? I just can't understand why she is trying so hard.

Probably afraid of having all the time and energy she's put in to drag our name through the mud go to waste. Doesn't want any kind of a comeback story or victory euphoria to drown out her increasingly desperate ramblings.
 
You know what ? no matter how much she writes it won't take away the amazing win we just pulled off, and when I saw the post game press conference I was 100% confident in Hird's innocence.

The truth will come out Caro, eventually.
You're an absolute disgrace, trying to bring down the reputation of a man who has put his heart and soul into his club, broken bones for his club, lead his club to the best season of all time.
 
As they were discussing on SEN, Caro and Patrick Smith went far too early with the "Hird must step down" calls and now anything that can be used in an attempt to prove them right they are going to jump all over.

I'm not going to worry about Caro and enjoy this excellent win.
 
Literally Caro's HIRD MUST STEP DOWN article was posted on the Age's website at the exact same time as that other one about Hird's injections.

Literally. I read that website quite a bit and I refreshed at the exact moment both articles were posted. How pathetic can one journalist be?
 
You guys and girls enjoy banging your head against a brick wall.

No more Caro and Kangaroos in this forum.

Wouldn't be the first article she's hurriedly re-written in the middle of the night. Just a bin scab not a journo.
What a ****ing campaigner. A ****ing ****ing ****ing ****ing ****er.
 
Nothing concrete or new. More opinion and speculation. I will be horrified if the club allows Caro or the Age in another presser, ever.

This obviously makes people feel better. You don't have to read this thread. It was labelled clearly.
 
**** her, we won a ****ing good game of football last night. I wonder if she watched it? Silly question, of course she didn't.
 
meh. She's only stress. I just ignore her and let her believe that she's smart
This.

The investigation is what it is, no amount of tabloid hackery from Caro and the others is going to change the findings. If you must read the newspapers on this issue stick to reporters like Baum and Niall who actually write decent, balanced articles.

The media have their narrative and they want to see it through. It's happened in politics (See the ALP leadership shit they keep yammering on about) and now it's happening to us. The best thing we can do is understand that when the media says "X is under pressure to stand down", the only place that 'pressure' is coming from is the media itself wanting to prove itself correct and score a few headlines in the process. The club has done the exact thing it needed to by not giving in and bending to their pressure, it's only an issue as long as people treat it as such.

When the ASADA report comes out we'll know that the information it contains will have been obtained in a thorough and fair manner and however awful for us it's conclusions and recommendations might be, they will have been made with the best interests of the AFL and sport in general in mind. Until this happens, the information we are being drip fed by the media is solely designed to sell newspapers and we should treat it as such.
 
Crap journo, this was true before the Essendon scandal broke and has not changed. Wouldn't trust her for the time if she had a clock nailed to her face.
