Give it a break.

Emma has sat back and discussed the morphing of the debate from possible illegal supplements to sacking Hird, to EFC losing points/draft picks, without any proof that the players have been given illegal supplements. And she is writing from the prism of watching the media/essendon supporters/other clubs supporters fight to the death ( often irrationally ) through all forms of media.

It's unfortunate, that Emma clearly stated that James Hird has the support of the club/board/players/supporters.

And I can suggest in the strongest terms that Emma Quayle doesn't fall into line.
You don't get it. Her boss is being attacked, she defended her by basically saying the criticism is not warranted and misrepresented it to protect her boss. Essendon fans are NOT acting as if Caro and co injected our players, we have a legitimate beef with her and her cohorts.

Emma is falling into line, she will not say a negative word about her buddies and will defend them to the death.

I think you are going at cross purposes there Shane Mead.

Emma wrote one of the few (if not only) positive pieces about Hird that has been published in the Age for the last five months. I think that requires gumption. I also think that give or take about 85% of that article was spot on.

I think we should show more support for members of the media that are trying to get EFC's story out there.. or would you prefer she toe the company line and print another "Hird must go because he met with his high performance manager" story?

No article is going to be perfect or match your views completely.. doesn't mean the author wasn't trying to represent a truthful and accurate position.

How do Conolloy and Quayle manage to work with Caro?

Well some inside sources have revealed there is a rift between Quayle and Caro over the reporting of the Essendon saga. Those in the Quayle camp are trying to use logic, good journalism and quality reporting to introduce reasoned facts into the debate where Caro and her henchmen seem determine to throw everyone under the bus that doesn't slavishly devote themselves to Caro Inc.

It is rumoured there are murmourings that Caro is deeply jealous that Quayle's face doesn't cause young babies to scream in shock and that Emma is able to walk down the street without a paper bag over her head. The situation came to a head when it was revealed that no one likes Caro particularly much and without the AFL drip feeding her stories, she really doesn't have a lot to say.

With the situation as it stands, it is hard to see how both of them can remain in their current positions. It is therefore likely that Caro will murder Quayle in her sleep. The likely result of which will be the charging of James Hird, former champion and disgraced Coach of Essendon as it is his fault.

Hope that clears things up for everyone ;)

Emma doesn't need me to defend her work - But you are the exact microcosm of what Emma mentioned in her article.

Nice work Emma:

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/to-bomber-fans-hird-no-villain-20130730-2qxfe.html

Loved your thumping finish "He has never given Essendon people any reason to doubt him, which is why they won't start now."

Keep up the good work. :thumbsu:

New sig .... now lets guess which poster is Emma!

A real football journalist who does occasionally dip into these murky waters but focusses on what the back pages should be about, match reports, young kids working hard to get noticed by the big leagues, young men coming back from injury ect ect ... YOU KNOW FOOTBALL STORIES!!

Goodness me I hope she's chief football writer when this is all said and done.

That is around 1.5 articles per week since the whole thing started. Staggering.
