What is Caro inferring?

[jim boy]

I wouldn't read too much into it. The case will be uncomfortable for St Kilda as Lovett will be pulling out all the stops to get off, even if it drags the saints down. Plus any player who has anything at all to do with this will be called as a witness. Going to court for this sought of crime is never pleasant for anybody, whatever there role in the matter.

"the accompanying evidence threatens to further damage the club. "

She sounds like half the chicks on my facebook account. You're now supposed to hound her with "what happened? ", "OMG" etc

 

[Skids]

She is implying, not inferring.

That's what I was thinking.

 

[FuManchu]

The usual St Kilda aplogists are all over this using semantics to dismiss things bubbling away.

Inferring is a strategy used before, during and after reading. Predicting is a part of inferring. Inferences need to be based on references in the text and then mixed with background knowledge.

Based on references, well that could be anything from what has been presented to the courts already to people within the industry talkingas well as what she has written about, so it is well within the 'text' as such. So that part of the term inferring holds true.

'Background knowledge', well who knows? But I'd say a lot of what transpired that night is out there within the footballing world. Predicting, well tha'ts obvious, she is predicting more will come out in the court case that is not flattering to the club.

yeah, I'll stick with 'inferring', but if implying makes you all happy, feel free to use it.The end result is the same.

Bit of a "Greatest Hits" of all the Saints stuff going on.
Hopefully ( like in the music industry ) it means there won't be much new material coming out soon.

 

[frednirk]

Yawn.

More anti-stkilda ranting.

Yawn.

Some people take this place waaayyyy too seriously.

I have little to no respect for Caroline Wilson, nor Damian Barrett or the other Jocker on the footy show/Footy Classifieds as Journalists. They all have one thing in common and that is integrity. The way they go about it is just blatant gossiping based on rumours and inuendo and whats worse is they get the backing of Channel 9 and The herald sun and the age because the bullshit headlines sell newspapers.

The worst bit about it is they can get away with saying anything they want as long as they attach "my source said" which must somehow mean its should be automatically credible.

The other thing that is amazing is that they are willing to create environments of distrust and disharmony at clubs for the sake of the headline. Its also amazing the amount of leaks they somehow acheive out of Club Boards.

Who's a St Kilda apologist?

Caro's inferring nothing. She had no evidence (she never does). She is implying.

 

[jerry springer]

absolute shite article

looks like she has taken her attention off Collingwood and North for a bit though

 

[The Spike]

When she wrote this in yesterday's 'Age'

Oh gee, what a surpirse....another collingwood troll on the saints

You dont know if she does or she doesnt have evidence. Evidence as she suggested, which cannot be made public knowledge prior to a trial. Imply, infer, who cares? She has made the statement that the evidence will not paint the club in a good light. I await to see what that evidence is and if it paints St Kilda in a good light or not.

If your source is Bay 13 you can pretty much print anything.

I've got a feeling,
Got a bit of an inkling
This is gonna be, one of those days
This is a show all about me (and me)
And all the things that I do, and all the things that I see (and what I see)
I got a feeling,
Got a bit of an inkling
As long as we're together,
It'll be okay.

I am working, what the hell are you doing? Ever tried working for yourself? Its much more satisfying.

I do know she has no evidence. The full sentence:

The feeling is that when the sacked footballer finally faces his rape charges in court, the accompanying evidence threatens to further damage the club.

'The feeling is ...'? What is this 'feeling'? Something she invented? Quite likely.

This suggests no analysis of hard evidence except by speculation on what could possibly come out. No inference is made from text, but implications are made based on what she thinks.

She has inferred nothing, and is implying everything.

So true.

 

[mysainters]

Maybe she was wearing her channel 9 hat when writing this story, I notice St Kilda have been giving a lot of interviews to channel 7, 10 and foxtel lately.

I think you'll find infer has multiple usages, including one that is a very close synonymn to imply.

The feeling, probably based on what is known about the case.

We shall see. but just because you have an anti female crusade against women in a male dominated sport, doesnt mean that she is not allowed to write, to speculate, to analyse, to report, to to anything she wants, as long as it isn't libelous. She puts it out there, you do with it what you will.

And maybe you had better look up the multiple uses of inferring that MDC refers to!!!

Now I am taking the rest of the day off. toodle pip!

 

[Clay Davis]

A fair bit of implying here. Are you Caro?

Why would I find something I already know? Correct usage separates the two words.

 

[laminex]

I actually thought the entire article was the speculative, belly button gazing of a journo with a deadline and absolutely nothing of note to add to the goings on of the week in footy.

Caro is the absolute Queen of manufactured comment.

she always seems to be saying a lot with out ever saying anything, Last year it was Eddie the year before Was Carlton this year the Saints. If she has somthing she should come out and say or keep her mouth shut.

 

[laminex]

The Harpy thrives on innuendo, but only morons get caught up in it.

Lets be honest innuendo is all reporters go on, they never really give us a full story.

 

[mdc]

The OED has examples of that usage going back to 1530, so you might wish to reconsider.

Reconsider what?
