Fitzpatrick on Open Mike, Caro, Clarkson

That, in a nutshell, is precisely what is wrong with the football media (and I might add, a great deal of the political media as well, but that's another story). Mike Sheahan is a career journalist. That carries a responsibility to ask probing questions in the search for truth. If he is not prepared to do that, if the program is premised on him taking a soft line with his guests, then it is not worth a cracker and should be taken off air. At the very least, it should not pretend to be anything other than a matey chat show, and Sheahan, who can be a very good journalist, should stop pretending to be one.

Spot on B05. He has been a good journo but like Caroline, ultimately he is matey with the big boys.

In purely legal terms, you are probably right. But that doesn't factor in the League's propensity for vindictiveness. The Swans would be reluctant to test it in court for fear of retribution. I firmly believe this - at a time when we looked like picking up Heeney and Mills - is why the Swans let the trade ban slide when they probably did have legal options.

Spot on again B05. Very vindictive outfit if you go against it. Cola and trade ban says it all. That's why basically not a dicky bird about Gil and Clarko meeting. You would go in the AFL's little black book for payback.

And who�s actually had more balls to stay true to their own convictions ?

Abbott had no balls as prime minister. Only grown them after losing job. Worst prime minister ever, including Billy Mcmahon.

Please don�t compare him with Caro Wilson - did you see her on footy classified Monday night! She�d have him for breakfast...
