Wayne Carey as specialist coach

[dees189227 12,373]

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.

[Robot Devil 1,895]

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.

[Philthy 284]

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

[Disco Demons 92]

jack watts and wayne carey would be a good mix.

[Guest Shirt Front]

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

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

[Bimbo 940]

Loopier than Kevin Sheedy although with less ideas

[Moonshadow 17,675]

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?

. 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 Edited September 23, 2012 by IRW

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.

[Johnny Karate 559]

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".

[IRW 1,387]

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

[McQueen 17,864]

I'd prefer Barry Hall.

[dazzledavey36 54,289]

fevola

[McQueen 17,864]

fevola

I was being serious.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

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

[Gippsland Dee 367]

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
