He drives me mad with his incessant determination to get his anecdotes / opinions heard even if others try & ignore him. Always thought he was more interested in his opinions & studied phrases than really a fan...then he admitted it in a recent article...his great love is racing...after retirement if it came to Flemington & the MCG he'd be at the races. Well why not do that right NOW.
How someone who knows nothing about the actual game and skills of football became the Chief Football Writer of The Age remains a mystery. She is a politics/entertainment/investigative writer. It may as well be Tiddlywinks or Synchronised Swimming for all the insight she brings to the game itself. Just look at her tipping results year after year if you think I'm being sexist. She won the Age comp about 5 years ago in the most topsy turvey season in history. Beyond that blip she has been a cellar dweller for many a year. It speaks volumes about her credibility. She spreads smear and innuendo and then excuses herself with weasel words.

So true, V&R. Reports about who is arguing with who, spreads gossip and who said what to whom. She is the princess of the "Big Statement".
I see her also on OFFSIDERS (ABC1 Sunday am), and her lack of depth and perspective are pretty ordinary.
Not sure I agree with GOSWANNIE14 though.....Sam Newman is pretty bad.
Yes I miss Clinton too.

But you have to say that Caro Wilson and Emma Quayle have some good inside sources. They were right on the Tippett story, the tanking story and the drug story. Wilson doesn't get many points for style though.
Having said all that...I stuffed up the video recording settings this week. Can anyone tell me where FOOTY CLASSIFIED can be accessed online ?
I think she gets run into the ground often because she regularly gives opinions that people dont like - printing inside info on clubs that are male dominated puts her in an akward position.
Compare her to simple gossip monger Craig Hutchison as an example who rarely gets any negative attention.
As mentioned previously she gets her sources right and is not afraid to give an opinion. By giving it to Lloyd she gets a happy stamp from me.
He ate more cheese, than time allowed
Nup. Maybe he doesn't know how important I am, in my eyes.
