Wayne Carey as specialist coach

Featured Replies

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.

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

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

Lesson One: How to Glass B%tches

Lesson 2-Shagging your best mates wife.


jack watts and wayne carey would be a good mix.

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 if you end up with a timid womanizer.

Classic

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

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
