Toast EFC Statement re: Caroline Wilson Articles (17/7) - #StandDownCaro

[Valve Bounce]

We should start a class-action. I'll call Slater and Gordon.

Yeah! Maybe you can get Julia Gillard to start a file!

 

[EnolaGay]

Not surprised that she's decided to double down on this. Stubborn to a fault. She is so desperate for anything to stick at this point that she's just going to keep throwing it.

I just had a terrible image in my head as I read the quote above....for some reason in my head it came out as:

Not surprised that she's decided to double down on this. Stubborn to a fault. She is so desperate for anything to stick at this point that she's just going to keep deep throating it.

WTF? I need some time away from the computer, and now have to curl up in the shower in the fetal position!

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Smack her right between the eyes Hirdy!!!!

Fogdog posted this on Blitz this morning (in regards to the #standdowncaro thing):

He is quite good at rallying the troops is foggy.

 

[Xtratification]

As unhappy and angry as we are with Caro at the moment, please leave the sexist and lurid comments out of it.

They're in poor taste, and unnecessary regardless, as they add nothing to the discussion.

Excellent call. This has been bugging me for ages.

 

[The Dustbin]

At some point the senior coach - despite the formidable team of yes men surrounding him - must take some responsibility for that. We remain convinced the AFL will ensure it.

Who the **** is 'we' Caro????

 

[bomberswarm2]

The constrast between this and the main board is extreme

pick a side Caro, is Bomber pulling the strings from behind the scenes or is Hird the Machiavellian architect behind the whole thing leading everyone else a merry dance?

 

[Seb78]

Thanks mate

7.5 weeks in. Had some inklings she was but confirmed yesterday.. I just hope it's health and would be stoked if it were a boy..

That's great Yoda! Boy or girl it doesn't really matter as long as its healthy

ps: I was hoping for a boy as well just quietly lol

 

[HirdyLannister]

Most guys secretly want a boy, who wouldn't want the possibility seeing their son pulling on a EFC guernsey

Knowing my genes, I wouldn't want my son out there- he'd probably tear an ACL getting out of the car

Yeah this is interesting isn't it!?
Hird surrounded by "yes men" except when everyone allegedly tried to shut down his big bad program

 

[scatman john]

People who voted 'No', I mean ChilbroSwaggins scatman john , why? Why? WHY?

haha. was waiting for a bit of flack.
sorry if i offended but i just think we should keep our mouth shut until it's all done - like the club said they would. don't let her shit get to us, just keep winning.
i'm being very conservative when it comes to this whole matter.

also, i can't stand her as much as you guys but i just feel we should wait it out then sue them(will happen) all to pay for our rad new training centre.

p.s. i was somewhere between "no" and "yes"...would have liked a switzerland option.

No need to be sorry for having a thoughtful stance on this. Good on you.

That thread seems to have disappeared from Blitz !

 

[yaco55]

I don't see How Hird can be guilty of anything ! - He's not the coach according to the media ! It may just be a cardboard cut out of Hirdy.

 

[grugsticles]

Im just looking forward to reaping the benefits of of our new extensions to the new training facility, fully financed by one C. Wilson.
It will have all the essentials, spa, pool, coffee shops, and for when the players get frustrated they can go and work out in the Caro-Gym where all the boxing pads etc. have her face on them. Perfect way to de-stress

 

[Old Campaigner]

Funny thing is, if this now pans out how we think it might and everyone gets off free because of ASADA's ineptitude Caro's going to want to have someone's head for it. And fortunately for her there has been one particular head noted for sticking itself up over the parapets and taking potshots from the outer: Richard Ings. He's already lost his job for turning ASADA into a rabble, he might find a few awkward questions fired his way before the end of this.

That thread seems to have disappeared from Blitz !

Disappointing, any talk regarding the biggest issue in the club's history is shut down over there after a few days!

 

[Doss]

I get the impression that's at least partly because some people over there just can't help themselves, and descend into puerile, gutter stuff of the sexual variety against a certain female journalist.

Which is yet another reason why such activity is discouraged here.

Yeah the sexist shit said about Caro is disgusting and uncalled for, but I don't see how it could be so hard for the mods there to just remove the posts? There was a ripping post from Soulnet the other day which exposed a few of Caro's rubbish articles as lies, yet sadly it's become history along with the thread

In my book, they shouldn't remove the posts, just remove the content and replace it with "Post removed - Poster suspended 30 days".

 

[gillies]

Who the **** is 'we' Caro????

Caro and the voices in her head(her only friends)

 

[Old Campaigner]

Nah the content needs to stay unless it's not safe for work or whatever. And a quick description of why it was a bad post should be included. Helps people learn what is tolerated and what isn't

 

[Here_we_come]

It's amazing to me how increasingly hostile and personal Caro's writing has become on this.

It makes me wonder why this is? I'm thinking EFC have made contact with her and asked to to stop writing on the subject, which might have really pissed her off. Or perhaps it was a legal threat, something she has mentioned previously, which may have had the same effect. These are complete guesses but surely something has happened that has changed something in her.

In any case, her writing is completely unprofessional. Since the start her writing has been completely one sided and she has cherry picked whatever has suited her argument (an argument that continually changes I might add). Her writing is also quite emotional when she it should be sounded independent and objective. You can almost feel her hate for James Hird in her words. It's quite staggering that Fairfax even allow it to be published.
