if he played for your club you would consider him the greatest of all time. The Duck played for the smallest club in the comp and helped make them world beaters in a sense. he was hated by the nuffies in the outer, yet loved by those who know how the game is really played. its a great story, he was never a saint, but he didnt have the vanilla upbringing that a lot of the AFL footballers have these days where only the private school boys make it through.
you fuckwits think its only mike sheahan rating carey the best ever leigh matthems puts him up as does charlie sutton these guys know more about afl than you fucking clowns have forgotten guy buy some north dvdsfrom about 93 to 99 and sit there an tell me theres been a better more destructive physically tougher player get a clue you fucking clowns
aww diddums wellerazorlight, have a sook mate the guy was brilliant and will be remembered onfield (and off field lol) where as mcleod will be forgotten once he finishes.
Carey is the only player in history to average more than 3 goals and 20 possessions per game for an entire season. No one has yet come close to matching this. He also led the league in contested marks almost every season that he was captain at North and was one of the best tackling key position players in the game. There wasn't a single aspect of the game he wasn't great at... I know of no other player you can say that about.
i think its stupid to say that carey was the best player of all time. H e played as a full foward and he never won a coleman medal and u claim he is the best player of all time, he wasnt even the besy player of his own time let alone all time
david neitz won a coleman medal, so did john longmire, and fraser gehrig won two. Does that make these players better than wayne carey? learn football, the difference between centre half forward and full forward mate.
if you look at all the great fowards over the years, ablett, dunstall, lockett, hudson, wade, they all won the coleman medal. The simple fact is carey played as a foward for his entire career and never kicked the most goals of any play in the league, keeping that fact in mind how can anyone claim that he is the best of all time
players mentioned were all great full forwards. carey was a centre half forward. modern example of a similar style player is jonathan brown or nick reiwoldt. stop putting stupid comments on youtube, you're embarrassing yourself.
you say that carey was simliar to brown and reiwoldt, and i completely agree because just like brown and reiwoldt carey was completely overated. if i was to ask u who were the better players brown and reiwoldt or say frankiln and fevola, anyone with a fuckin brain would be able to see that the latter two are clearly better players. The same aplies when comparing carey to dunstal. locket, or ablett . it doesnt matter were carey played on the field, he was nver the best player in the league
Anyone who says Carey was OVERATED has severe problems.
Just search him on youtube. He was a freak. Kicking goals from 60 metres out on a consistent basis.... that just doesnt happen these days. Taking one handed grabs .... going back with the flight..... kicking freakish goals from the boundary.
You are a disgrace and it wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if your a collingwood supporter.
@wellerazorlight mate, i know you wrote this a year ago and times have changed a bit, but i have to comment!. no one, not any one, would ever have said that fevola or franklin are/were better than reiwoldt or brown. that is insanity! and no one would say that lockett or dunstall were better than carey. apart from you obviously, who seems to think that the number of goals a player kicks is the sole basis on which to judge a player.
people wh say carey is not the greatest of all time know very little about afl and i would say have not watche nearly every game of his career, matthews champion ablett champion but carey stll number 1 matthes number ablett 3
franklin is no were as good as carey he isnt even the best forward st hawthorn if the delivery to roughead and franklin were even roughead would get 80-90 goals a year and franklin would struggle for 60 the hawks act as if they have only 1 forward. throw williams into the mix and the hawks could get 40 goals each out of these 3 players. fires alistair clarkson the previous coach gets the talent and all this gut does is reek the benifits
You can't judge who's the greatest player by who gets the most kicks, goals, marks etc (though there is no player in history who averaged both more goals and more possessions than Carey), because different positions are different. Greatest can only be judged on ability to influence a game. No player today or in the last 20 years is anywhere near Carey with respect to influence on a game's outcome. Carey influenced the outcome of games more and more often than anyone. Therefore - greatest
ha then you have to decide what does influening the game mean. what about the players like michael tuck; never did the flashy stuff but played consistently good for 426 league games, in and under the packs, feeding it out to others. he had a huge influence on games, but is not recognised by the average fan as a legend of the game
well he will be now that his goin to a US jail!guarantee! for all the ppl and teams he fucked up, now its his turn,literally!hahahaah!he will go down as the only AFL player to be fucked a prison full of niggas!!hahahaha!!
couldnt agree more, Mike sheean just showed how little he knows about football rating carey as the greatest of all time, fuck matthews and ablett easily above him, hell id even rate judd and pavlich over carey and their careers arnt even over yet. Carey was good but not that good.
you guys are just basing this on your opinion of carey as a person. His footballing ability was as good as anyone the competition has ever seen. Carey will go down as one of the greats of the game and for very good reason.
no not true admittedly a very good player, but to rate him as the greatest of all time not even close. Ablett snr is easily better as for key forward choices ahead of him i would take dunstall pav jonathon brown, I just think sheean got it oh so wrong rating carey as the absolute greatest. Matthews and Ablett snr were eaisly better choices.
Sheehan isn't the only one that rates Carey as a great. Rating him as the greatest is debatable but you claiming Jonathan Brown is better is really ridiculous. He has had one good season in his career. If Carey isn't the greatest he is certainly in the top 5.
your a retard, carey is easily tegreatest plaer to grace an affootball field, ablett...pffft....dunstall...laughing my ass off..brown...wtf pav....big fish little pond take ur head out of ur arse, i bet u barely watched any of carey throghout his yrs, easily best player of all time...u wanker
agreed, he was good, but there were better people than him. Lloyd, Locket (johnathan) Brown, Ablett, Mathews, these blokes are all better than Carey ever was. He was had a massive Ego. Same goes with Tarrant, he's inconsistant, but still treated like a star.
Brown is not better than Carey, simply because he is injured too often.
Brown has struggled to put in consecutive seasons where he is injury free. Brown has a long way to go.
I lot of people judge Ablett purely as a full-forward, which is stupid. In 14 seasons in the AFL, he only played 4 at Full-Forward. The rest were at Half-Forward or the Wing, where he averaged 3.5 goals a game (best average for non-key forward) before moving to full forward.
Lockett was effective, but I actually think Dunstall was better.
Better skills, better goal average, and Dunstall would have held the record if Silvagni didn't jump all over him.
I place Voss and Hird above Carey because they're both top captains, were harder, and unlike Carey, never got the "orgasmic admiration" from Mike Sheahan, the "Chief Writer" at the Herald Sun.
I agree. Brown has been over-rated just because he was playing for brisbane when they were at their peak. If you look at it, he's hardly ever played a full consistent season.
Sure this isn't 04 rather than 03 because the camera was low at the G because of the construction on the broadcast win? Plus the 03 Hawks vs Crows contest was a Fox Footy Game.
Adelaide crows are gay, They got there ass kicked by Fitzroy and there fans walked out, typical adelaide supporters, 40,000 people would go to see there team sink to the bottom of the ladder club!!!!!!SWEET!
rofl. going for adelaide is soo exciting eyy *sarcasum* ..about all of the crows supporters that i know fucking dont even know their own players. adelaide is the most boring team to watch ever
if he played for your club you would consider him the greatest of all time. The Duck played for the smallest club in the comp and helped make them world beaters in a sense. he was hated by the nuffies in the outer, yet loved by those who know how the game is really played. its a great story, he was never a saint, but he didnt have the vanilla upbringing that a lot of the AFL footballers have these days where only the private school boys make it through.

Did Carey ever win the coleman?
Guruman150 3 years ago
No, but you can't judge anybody on that.
When Carey was at his best, he had John Longmire at Full-Forward kicking 80 goals with Carey kicking 60-70.
Brisbane has Brown kicking 80, with little support.
I am as anti-Carey as you could imagine, but Carey was more complete than Brown.
Brown plays a game that is purely physical...Carey was more athletic by far.
I'm an Ablett fan, so you can't say I'm biased.
Brown needs to put 2-3 consistent seasons behind him, as he has been injured too often.

yea, I see what your saying and respect that (not having a go at you). Still though, you can't disagree with me saying locket was better.
