Yes I agree.
Further fans are reacting to this news after the fact.
The media and the club clearly knew about this before the weekend, it raises questions around why it took so long to surface. In the old days it would have been in the Saturday morning editions! It's pretty clear the club approved the excursion.
MLG and Lloyd were both active in the broadcast media on Saturday and Sunday before the game, but there was NADA in that content! They had the opportunity to cut off the serpents head but instead by inaction they offered it a sacrifice!
It would have been as simple as one of them steering a conversation and making some proactive statement like this on Saturday,
"At Carlton, we want to be part of the wider community, for example Daisy spent last night volunteering his time at a charity diner to raise funds for Camp Quality!"
Sorted, issue dead and buried, it's that simple! If any smart-ar5e blogger or journo tries to raise the drinking issue after that sort of public pronunciation they just make themselves look like an asshole! Because making a football issue around a charity fund raiser for sick children means you are an asshole, Caro!
When it broke the way it broke Monday, all we had to pose as a question was this on Tuesday,
"Why is Caro(or The Media if you wish to be less personal) politicising a children's cancer charity fund-raiser, is that really how low we are prepared to go?"
Yet NADA!
McGuire, as much as I hate him, has us covered in spades. I don't know who manages or advises our club on media issues but they are dead-set worthless!
