Interesting to read Carey has some ambition to do some specialist coaching role about 20 hrs a week with a Melbourne club. I know he has been linked to Carlton but what do we think of him helping out at Melbourne. Years ago I would have said no way, but he seems to be in a better head space now and stayed out of trouble.

I reckon he would be great for Howe and Watts development and even help out Mitch Clark and give him more tips he can do in the foward line. i reckon Howe and Watts especially could really feed off him.

    As long he isn't handing out advice to players on their personal lives and sticks to football related matters...

    Could be of benefit to us. It will be interesting to see the opinion on here as to whether he has solved his issues.

    Yes please! To have the greatest CHF of all time to be coaching our kids would be fantastic!

    Love the guy. We all have our flaws, you cover yours by not being good enough to be seen in the public eye.

    We have to be ruthless in every pursuit, Elite mentality in everything we do.

    Get him tomorrow for 40 hours a week.

    Great football brain. Yes please

    Was a great player but I have yet to see him display any rocket science off the field.

    No thanks

    Interesting that the AFL have talked about drug and alcohol testing coaches and staff in light of the Crossica admission. Wonder if this might make the Duck change his mind?

    jack watts and wayne carey would be a good mix.

    . I have my doubts about Jack, but no doubts about his intelligence and I dont think he'd respond to a guy who reckoned his after game party trick was to break a scotch tumbler on his head,no matter how good a footballer he used to be. It reads like the bloke cant do anything useful with himself so he wants to go back to his glory days. Wouldnt have him around the place in a million seasons unless he goes back to the Roos and works wonders with them first. Maybe he could go into Real Estate with Dennis Pagan or get a job as muscle for any of his crim mates who are still alive

    He has done some ugly things since his career has ended but I still think he could be of some use to Fitzy and Watts on a limited basis.

    There is no way I would support making him a part of the coaching panel until he proves to be off drugs.

    There are so many crims involved in footy that it is impossible to stop him mixing with whoever he choses.

    1 hour a week with the kids could definately help us .

    We could use a few of his tricks and advice on marking ,leading, space creation etc.

    An outstanding player, who obviously had a very good football brain. In his media roles his arrogance & boofheadedness overrides his football acumen.

    I question his ability to communicate & motivate those of lesser ability than himself. From the outside looking in - no thanks - that's not even factoring in his off-field "errors of judgement".

    Get Dermie, he had attitude and ability and isnt a desperate loser....well he might be desperate but at least he's stayed in footy and seems to have made a quid out of and outside of it.. Bet you Carey is pretty near broke and clutching at straws... Let the Roos save him

    I'd prefer Barry Hall.

    fevola

    I was being serious.

  • Quote

    I would actually prefer anyone else, and that includes Fevola.

    Please keep this train-wreck of a bloke away from the club.

    not if you end up with a timid womanizer.

    Wow - hard to recall a thread on DL with such (near) universal agreement. Wayne Carey bringing people together!

    Not sure of all that he has done

    But certainly doesnt impress as a role model

    I think he became a product of his own ability

    When you are told you are the king and can do anything

    which was desirable on the footy field you must know how to separate the on and off field

    Coaches could probably translate his footy actions through their experiences and tapes of his actions

    Dont know what he could add particularly on a regular basis sowould be cautious

    but leave it up to Neeld

    as a teacher he would know if Carey has the skills to teach and how to appraise the success of that teaching.

    The coaches could certainly

    He is a champion of the game! provided he has gotten himself in a better headspace and there is no way he will go back to drugs, i think it would do wonders for our fwds. i can't see it happening though

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
