Wayne Carey and the AFL

[LostDoggy]

Apparently the AFL about to list their top 50 players of all time and obviously Wayne Carey is well in the mix. There is some talk that the AFL might also be under pressure not to include him given his off field behaviour.

Should his off field conduct even be considered when putting together a list of the best 50 players of all time?

Whilst I doubt anyone condones his behaviour I think his ability on the field should be the only thing the AFL considers. Thoughts?

[Mofra]

Depends if they are judging a player's worth to their club, which I beleive should be a consideration.

Arguably Chris Grant & Glen Archer were more valueable to their respective clubs than even their considerable on-field contributions indicate.

Ablett will be the interesting one. For all his off-field indiscretions, he always appears to be the loyal Geelong man; loyal is something Carey could never claim to be.

[LostDoggy]

Now I've been wanting to talk about this all week although I'm more interested in the Carey shananigans.

I'm sure the US sports have had this problem, with OJ and others. I don't see a problem in including him in a list, its just a name.

[The Coon Dog]

If it's a list of the BEST 50 players, he walks it in hands down.

I think things are changing in the US as well though. Baseball is having a real think about if players that have crossed the line will ever get hall of fame recognition.

My gut feel says judge Carey purely on his footy exploits but I do understand that other considerations might come into play.

[BulldogBelle]

Carey and his indescretions should not be a consideration when judging him on his football ability to which the majority of footabll fans can attest to was phenomenal.

His off field behaviour leaves a lot to be desired and whilst I don't think much of him as a human being - I could never fault his playing ability.

Agree Belle.

He maybe a dropkick off the field but on the field - one of the best.

I seem to recall some 15 or so years ago, Hall of Fame Baseballer Pete Rose got in some trouble for gambling and whilst I'm not 100% sure, I thought he was removed from the Hall of Fame?

[LostDoggy]

It will be interesting to see if Cousins makes it. You cant have one of them in and not the other. If it was purely based on on-field performances then they both will make it.

Maybe not. Cousins was great but doesn't mean top 50 EVER.

[LostDoggy]

Maybe not. Cousins was great but doesn't mean top 50 EVER.

He would easily be in the top 50 ever. Have a look at what he's acheived.

Off my head:
Rising Star(?)
Brownlow
Premiership player
Captain


To not include a player because of their off field behavoir crap.

I don't care about off field stuff (Careys could be the exception) But those individal awards don't tell the story.

Grant
Not rising star
not brownlow
not premiership player
Captain

I think Grant is better than Cousins.

[gohardorgohome]

Up to around 2000 Carey was the player that consistantly had the most impact on a game that I have ever seen.

Does anyone remember him taking the 'dogs apart at the kennel in early 93 or 94.

I went to that game with a mate who is a Hawthorn supporter. We both reflect that it was the best individual game that either of us have ever seen.

Cousins was a good player much the same as say Scotty West, with a lot more disruption to his club thrown in. He wouldn't make the top 50 ever IMO.

[LostDoggy]

Wow. I cant belive you guys are underrating Cousins.

Take a look at this, it may change your mind, http://youtube.com/watch?v=EVoouUBu2JE

[LostDoggy]

Geez you bastards are harsh :p

[westdog54]

Geez you bastards are harsh :p

Not really Borgy, he's got over 100 years worth of players to compete with for a spot in this list.

Is he in the top 50 of the past decade/25 years? You better bloody believe it.

To say "He would easily be in the top 50 ever", your exact words, is pushing it to say the least.

[gohardorgohome]

To be in the best 50 ever you would have to be on average one of the five best players of each decade.

Hird
Voss
Judd
Buckley
Carey
Brown
Grant
Harvey are better players to come to mind in without giving more than 30 seconds of thought.

Cousins was a good player, but not that good.

Which decade is your list from?

Hird, Voss, Buckley, Carey, Grant, Harvey all played there best footy in the 90's.

Judd and Brown are from the 00's.

Mate, I had a 30 second think about the list. Hird Voss and Buckley were all superstars of the current decade.

Several times I have been in awe of these guys. I just dont feel the same about Cousins.

[FrediKanoute]

It will be interesting to see if Cousins makes it. You cant have one of them in and not the other. If it was purely based on on-field performances then they both will make it.

Possibly a point of difference is that the majority of Cousins' indescretions have come whilst he has been a player. Carey, the shagging of his team captains wife aside, has largely misbehaved once he left the game, a little like Ablett.

[LostDoggy]

The criterias are changing and it will catch on here soon enough, the AFL will introduce some type of checklist at some stage. FWIW Carey's football spoke for itself and he should be included. Tho, his actions offield of late leave alot to be desired.

Probably wouldn't be the only champion footballer / complete ****wit in the HOF.
Although he'd take some topping in both stakes.

[mighty_west]

As a person, he's a grade A flog.

As a footballer, probably the best i have seen.

He isn't the first dickhead, and won't be the last, he'll deserve a spot on his football talents.

Your opinion but i doubt anyone will agree. I would like to see the list without Cousins and then try to find him a spot. I'm pretty sure there would be better footballers than him in there.

Carey, easily the most dominant player of the past 15 years (unbelievable but during that period North have won more games than any other team).

He'd be right up there with the BEST of them, tho it is subjective.

Cousins, doesn't get within a bulls roar in my view.

Wayne Carey and Anthony Stevens have come to blows in a sad sequel to the 2002 affair scandal that fractured their friendship.

Carey and Stevens had an ugly altercation on Saturday night at Yarraville’s Railway Hotel, where many former Kangaroos players had gathered to celebrate North Melbourne’s 1996 premiership reunion.


Witnesses said Carey went at Stevens, accusing him of talking behind his back and telling people he couldn’t be contacted and to not bother trying to catch up with him, but then being fine in-person.


Onlookers said at one stage that the pair had to be separated, with several former teammates left stunned by Carey’s outburst.


Stevens – a current board member and president of the Roos’ past players association – didn’t take part in the club’s Marvel Stadium motorcade on Sunday because he was shattered by the heated exchange.


Carey was caught cheating in 2002 with Kelli Stevens – the then-wife of Anthony – in a scandal that fractured North Melbourne and led to Carey’s departure from the club.


North Melbourne captain at the time, Carey sat out the 2002 season before leaving the club in disgrace to join the Adelaide Crows.

[GVGjr]

It's a shame it's come to this, I guess they'll never be really friendly but they should be able to be able to catch-up with their mates and be civil.

[hujsh]

He shouldn't be welcome if Stevens doesn't want him there TBH. If it was just the cheating maybe he could be forgiven but we all know what kind of person he is so who cares about including him or making amends.

[chef]

Stevo is well within his rights to land one on Careys chin whenever he sees him for the rest of his life imo.

[josie]

It's a shame it's come to this, I guess they'll never be really friendly but they should be able to be able to catch-up with their mates and be civil.

Sound like Carey starred this altercation. What a doofus. No empathy for how a former friend would feel after betraying him. Agree civility should be possible without being friends. Guessing that’s what Stevens wanted. Punches not warranted even to those that are thoughtless, egotistical idiots - violence does not solve problems.

Such a shame they decided to make it awkward for everyone at the pub when the nets are right down the road.

Who does he appeal to these days? It is definitely not because of his ability to give unique insights into the game or ability to eloquently explain situations.

I had my wedding reception at that pub after getting married in Yarraville gardens. The big advantage was we could see a footy match from where we were.

[Twodogs]

Agreed. Stevens is genuinely tough. He had half his face sliced off by a falling window and was playing footy again that year. He'd take Carey down with one a tied behind his back

Snedden died of a heart attack in the Rushcutter Travelodge, possibly whilst having sexual intercourse with a mystery woman whose identity has never been revealed.[7][8] As Wright and Nader point out, Snedden was known for his 'extra-curricular' activities,[9] and in the words of his son, Drew Seddon, Billy Snedden "got around a lot."[10] The Truth published an article under the tongue-in-cheek headline "Snedden Died on the Job - Police Seeking Deathbed Girl" to announce his death.[9]"

Apparently the young woman involved was his son's ex-girlfriend.

"Former Liberal leader Sir Billy Snedden died doing what he loved - banging his son's ex girlfriend.

First thought to be a suspicious death, police searched for the mysterious "deathbed girl". But it turned out that Sir Billy head a heart attack while spending the night with a secretary who used to date his son, Drew.

Years later, his son had this to say about the heart-stopping affair to the Herald Sun:

"It was an adrenalin-filled evening. I'm sure the old man went out happy - anyone would be proud to die on the job," he said.

Turns out it's a bit of a trend. Former PM Ben Chifley reportedly died from a heart attack in 1951 "in the company" of his secretary."

My favourite Truth headline was "VFL SHOCK.

It was back in the '70s when transvestism was still a crime. The article didn't mention who the coach was but for some reason even though there was no article about him there was also a picture of Ian Stewart on the front page as well.

n Carey’s 2009 autobiography, The Truth Hurts, the man dubbed 'King' provided insight into his handling of scandals.

'I’d always been told and taught to deny, deny, deny, unless you have been caught red-handed,' he wrote then.

Nailed it.

Apparently, he's claimed it was a particular brand of anti inflammatory - which is actually a blue tablet.

No mate, and that's why the anti-inflammatory medication you're getting around with is giving you a raging boner.

Being stood down by Triple M and channel 7 for having anti-inflammatory medication surely is not fair to our Wayne.

They say when one of the boys is sacked from Triple M that it will be a long winter. Not until the boy finds redemption with an 18 month sojourn and a puffed piece in the Day of the Womans and thus returns to comfortable employment in the media will the world return to normalcy.

Not much support from the media bosses for Wayne. And now I'm confused. Is Wayne a poor man's Ricky Nixon or is it the other way around?

Wayne Carey speaking engagement cancelled in fresh fallout from white powder scandal

Wayne Carey’s speaking engagement at the annual St Kevin’s Old Boys grand final luncheon was reportedly cancelled at the last minute as the fallout from his infamous white powder saga continues.

Earlier this month, the 51-year-old was escorted out of Crown Perth when a small bag containing a powdered substance fell out of his pocket.

The dual-premiership North Melbourne captain said the powder was “crushed up anti-inflammatories” used to treat football injuries.

Carey maintains he offered to hand the bag to staff after dropping it at a gaming table.

An investigation from WA Police is ongoing.

According to a report from The Herald Sun, Carey’s speaking engagement at the SKOB lunch was axed following unease in the room at his attendance.

“There was concern in the room about Wayne being there which we listened to and a decision was made to remove him from speaking at the event,” SKOB president Patrick Mount told the News Corp publication.

“Wayne then left. He acted in an extremely professional and courteous manner the entire time.”

Speaking to media outside the Wagga Wagga RSL in regional NSW last week, Carey claimed Crown staff had two opportunities “40 minutes apart” to call police on the night and he was “really disappointed” they hadn’t.

“If what was alleged had happened, then the police would have been called straight away,” he said.

“They then had another opportunity, when I went up to my room, to call the police and they never called the police.

“I want to know why. Because if they had called the police, I wouldn’t be here standing here talking to you about this.”

But Crown Resorts chief executive Ciaran Carruthers has said Carey’s version of events contradicts that of casino staff.

“That’s in contradiction to the statements that we’ve received from our own staff and from witnesses who were there at the time,” he told 6PR radio last week.

According to Mr Carruthers, casino staff and witnesses claimed Carey did not offer the bag of powder to security after it fell onto a gaming table.

He claimed Carey also told staff that he was not a guest at the hotel.

“Our team approached him in his room and advised him that he needed to vacate,” Crown Resorts chief executive Ciaran Carruthers said.

“He co-operated, he asked for some time to collect his belongings, which we gave him, he then removed himself from the property,” he said.

Mr Carruthers conceded that police should have been called.

Last week, it was revealed that Carey had retained lawyer Josh Bornstein to investigate a possible disability discrimination claim against Perth’s Crown Casino.

Weird I would've thought St Kevin's Old Boys would have quite a few fans of the crushed anti inflammatory. Right into their wheelhouse so to speak.

So hang on, he wasn't cancelled prior to the event, but he turned up as scheduled and THEN the chucked him out because of "unease"??

What, were they uneasy that he didn't bring any crushed anti-inflammatory to share? Why didn't they knock it on the head before he turned up?

Probably would have let him stay if he had been honest.:p

Absolutely!

As an aside, I love how folk from a catholic school are OK with a sex offending domestic abuser but aren't OK with an alleged recent drug user. So on brand.

Didn't mean to like this.

Am an old boy of Skevs and I can say that no one is happy with the "sex offending". Hence the totally justified fallout.

More the previous Principal (staggeringly) doing the work of some in the upper echelon in the church versus his job (looking after students and making them better people, as if that head to be spelt-out to him)!

I'm sure nobody's happy with their kids getting abused or being potentially exposed to abuse.

However from some reports and anecdotal stories I've heard first hand some St Kevins people think they have gotten a bad wrap in public because of the purported sexist/ misogynistic attitudes of some students and the overall culture at the school (that could lead to abusive behaviour towards women). Not saying this refers to you and your mates (it might, I wouldn't know), but that's where the comment stems from and if I've caused offence I apologise (unless you hold sexist/ misogynistic views of course).

No offence taken.

Obviously the public bad wrap happens with the bad apples that are everywhere in society in all forms.

My only beef is that the Headmaster seemed to think his duty was to defending the church no matter what and especially when a student(s) under his watch had been a victim of abuse. This made the media because the parents would not stand for it.

It forced change for the better and with any luck, the penny has dropped up the top in the church, which has to change to have any sort of relevancy.
