Mickey O mentioned on the ABC's Outsiders

[hudsta]

Did anyone catch the Outsiders program on the ABC this morning? Caroline Wilson brought up an apparent incident involving Mickey O in adelaide a few years ago.

This is the first i have heard of it. Does anyone know the details?

[laughingnome]

I might know some details but I'd rather not say on RWO. Reasonably sure it'd be safe but I'm not about to give our beloved admins a nasty headache.

It's been done to death on these boards. Try a search.

Where's sanecow when you need him?

Now why did she have to bring up something like that?

[Nico]

Unbelievable that this journalists brougt up, as Liz said, a done to death topic.

You really do wonder what goes on her head. She clearly has nothing to write about because her ficticious sources have dried up.

[Nico]

Now why did she have to bring up something like that?

To deflect attention from her beloved, lamentable Tigers.

She has a head? I didn't realise she had something that resembled a head.

Four Corners on ABC tomorrow night are running a show on Sex Scandals in NRL over the past 10 years including the now public Matthew Johns Group Sex incident in NZ a few years ago.

That is why it came up (i.e comparison to AFL etc)

Did Milne get a mention?

Don't forget Montagna, he was in it up to his ears too you know.

[hammo]

Did Milne get a mention?

The St Kilda players were mentioned but not by name

Literally or figuratively?

It was linked to the fact that settlement money was paid by Magic (with no admission of guilt)

I'm a regular watcher of the "Outsiders". It's a national program filmed in Melbourne. Whenever NSW/NRL identity, Roy Masters, and Victorian/AFL identity Caroline Wilson appear on the panel you get this lighthearted tension about which code will get the more attention. It is like two sibling rivals trying to get the attention of their parents.

The big national sports news story for the week was the Matthew Johns group sex scandal. Wilson, perhaps subconsciously, couldn't stand Rugby League getting all the attention, so she had to put her 'two cents' worth about an AFL story that is now as an old a news story as Princess Diana's fashion sense. Quite unnecessary I thought to raise such names as Micky O to such an old, old story.

One final note that is Masters does the exactly same thing when the boot is on the other foot, and AFL is getting all the attention on this national program.
