Maybe we need to sit her in a room and play the video of Heppell and others up in the Northern Territory

Ah but you see, that's not a community program, that's just PR damage control.

She's so cynical she actually probably believes that.

In a dungeon and leave her there permanently?

Caro lost interested in facts that don't suit her agenda a long time ago.

There are none so blind as those that will not see.

The most likely scenario, I would think, is that the meeting was to talk about what happens for the club in the event of suspensions. I think it makes sense for someone not in the firing line directly to be part of those discussions.

Surely, that should be on a Gill/Xavier level though??

i'm pretty certain the players where there to talk about the lower food prices @ the G

"Hey Gil, Carlton Mid tastes like shit and the beer taps are too warm. You mug!"

 

[efcboy]

Probably best to ignore Caro. Pretend she doesn't exist - when opposition fans mention her say she's irrelevant and irrational.

 

[Harlequin]

Caro is a trooper whilst she's targetting us she is leaving the whole illicit drug issue with Hunt behind

Gil likes this

Off topic a little, but on that topic, the AFL seem to be making a very concerted effort at present to make going to the football more attractive. Food prices being just the latest thing to be tweeked. I'd almost call it panic mode. But I doubt it has much, if anything, to do with the Essendon / ASADA saga.

why those rat dog MCC get to drink presumably cold full strength cuppa piss will never not make me irate

I thought this topic might bring you out of the shadows, ****.

 

[Pweter]

I love my cold full strength cuppa piss (note SACA member, not MCC. Same shit, different bucket)

 

[Harlequin]

Maybe Caro's just pissed off that she wasn't invited over to Gil's house

she was already there

it takes great skill to appear to be doing something, while doing nothing at all

I would normally be first to agree. But I honestly think there's a bit of panic at AFL HQ at the present time and they are actually doing things in an apparent effort to make it more attractive for people to attend matches. Never thought I'd say it. But they have really never done anything previously to warrant the praise.

I don't think that the players themselves would approach Gil to discuss what happens to the club in the event of sanctions. That would be something for the club and its officials to discuss with the AFL.

I think this is likely to be something that the players themselves felt the need to tell the AFL. The fact that it is the leadership group implies they are conveying a message about player unity regarding some aspect of the issue. Maybe they wanted to avoid giving the impression they were trying to influence the outcome with threats, so, instead of leaking to Robbo, they just decided to tell Gill direct that he should be aware of how the players might respond, given their unified resolve.
Just guessing.

Can't believe I'm going to say this but....

To be fair to Gil, he has said since day 1 of his tenure that he wants to bring the footy back to the people, make it a more attractive and affordable form of entertainment.

Ok, now that's done I shall never speak in defence of the smug campaigner again.

I'd have no doubt that it was player initiated, for sure. Whatever was being discussed.

At the time I could see the rationale behind Little talking to Caro for that article a year ago. It smacked of a club trying to move forward and mend fences.

I've now come around to the view it was ill-judged. She is a vindictive piece of work who will use any angle possible to pot the club, just like she did with North back in 2007.

Never, ever give her the time of day again. I don't and never have condoned some of the puerile and sometimes downright sexist abuse she's copped. In fact I hate it as it illustrates how far society still has to go in that area. But that last article was like the rantings of an angry teen.

This person should never be allowed near our club ever again. I can absolutely tolerate criticism where it's warranted. Her salvos in that article are not warranted, they are the hateful ramblings of someone with red mist descended upon their retinas.

 

[carnthedons]

The odds of someone happening by chance on those vintages for those wines is infinitely slim...

What are you trying to say?

Just because my budget only normally stretches to Sunnyvale doesn't mean a guy can't dream.

Couldn't agree more.

Caro is out to do Essendon - and in particular Hird - maximum damage. That much is plain and obvious. So telling her nothing and taking her nowhere can't really have any consequences for us.

 

[Jade]

Will the playing group boycott games if players are suspended.

This is my reading of the meeting with Gill.

No.

 

[Eleven 38]

Not condoning sexist behaviour, but Caro is definitely bias against men, everyone she's ever had a vendetta against has been male.
