But in essence the theme was the same, yes? Men 'joking' about Caro staying under water?It was bought up that similar comments were said by Tony Shaw and Dwayne Russell on 3AW. However Caro was sitting next to them and the comments weren't as vindictive and were shut down quickly. In efforts to reduce the pressure on themselves Eddie mentioned what was said on 3AW which lead to Shaw breaking down on air.
This is the single most reason as to why I believe there is at least a sniff of double standards on this one.
That and the fact it took six days for any commentary to circulate in the public arena, including both Barrett and Hutchy didn't feel it was newsworthy enough to bring up on last week's Footy Classified, yet after all the public commentary they felt they should display the fact they were both appalled at the abhorrent behaviour by McGuire et al during last night's show (whilst they asked Caro the question about the Shaw thing, aside from her commenting that he had a 'nice look in his eyes at the time' she was by no means pressed to explain why it was 'disgraceful' of Eddie to compare the two situations).
