Great Carey Games - Rnd 17 1996

Carey chose this game, played during the Atlanta Olympics, to showcase what footy pundits have described as one of the greatest individual performances of all time.

Carey had over 30 possessions and kicked 11 goals in an amazing performance. Melbourne had no answer for him, and by the 20th minute mark were forced to put their best player David Neitz on him, but that did nothing to stop Carey single-handedly outscoring his opposition.

Had Carey not strayed up the field in the final quarter, he may very well have broken Fred Fannings 18 goal record!
