Check out his  92, 94 and 95 losing GF efforts. Grand total of 33 possessions, 4 goals, 6 behinds and 2 tackles. For a player of his caliber that is woeful in anyone's language.

When Geelong were eliminated in the 91 and 96 finals his efforts were even worse.

He kicked 3 in the '92 GF and was arguably among the Cats' better players, and you can cross the '91 finals off your list, too, given that he missed most of it with suspension. 

Would you like to change the goalposts yet again?

And going back to the original point, has anyone ever suggested that his so-called sooky attitude somehow cost Geelong a flag?

Would you pass on a player if it was guaranteed that he'd average 4 goals a final over 16 finals appearances? I'd take that in a heartbeat. 

Even if you take out the mercurial '89 finals as an anomaly - and why would you? - he still finished with an average of 3+ goals a final over 12 finals.

If I was at the club I would be giving Carey a call and offering him a part time role at the club. Working with all the forwards. Maybe once a week or even just once a fortnight, work on everything from body language to technique and maybe even forwardline chemistry.

He could teach them life skills as well.

Just for comparison's sake:

Buddy: 58 goals in 17 finals @ 3.4 per game

Carey: 60 goals in 23 finals @ 2.6 per game

Dunstall: 78 goals in 21 finals @ 3.7 per game

Lockett: 35 goals in 9 finals @ 3.8 per game

Matthews: 72 in 29 finals @ 2.5 per game.

I heard it as Pro Dee did. It does seem he is still undecided and hasn't yet committed to stay.

Caro has good sources and double checks her stuff so it wouldn't surprise she is correct. I think she added something like 'one minute he tells the club he will the next minute says he won't'.

No wonder the club is getting frustrated.  Would imagine it wants it sorted soon so it knows well before trade week, to assess the list accordingly and plan recruits for this year and next.

On the positive side, the club has done all that it promised and he can see a clear direction for the club.  Its entirely up to him now.

Thankfully, EOS is upon us and he can get away for some clear air and head space. 

maybe his contract decision making is as flawed as his set-piece goal kicking decision making

Are you suggesting his head tilts and he bobbles it, as he decides matters?

I dont respect Carey's character

How about Jacko?

How about we trade Jesse for Shuey and Gaff 

..... more entertaining thennthe current line of convo haha

What's going on here?! He's laughing at us...and now he's going to take Harmesy as well!

Must be the bad body language that Purple was reading into in his weekly 'look at me' article he somehow gets on the afl site. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-26/sliding-doors-round-23-2016-afl for those who haven't seen it or want to laugh/cringe a little. 

A Full Forward who cannot kick is no value to us! Would much rather se him at CHF and rotate Watts and Weeds next year IMO.

Not sure if anyone see him as a full forward, he's just being eased in their given it's still just his second season of senior footy. Same as I don't see Brayshaw as being a half forward flanker (which he's played lately), sometimes we just have to a little patient and wait for them to mature. Hogan's accuracy is only slightly less that Tex Walker, who is much more of a full forward.

Hmmm...14 marks last week. Only 5 times close enough to kick goals ( kicked 1.3 and gave a simple one away to ANB in the goalsquare)..where exactly do you think he played for the great majority of the time last week ?

FF With a licence to roam! His kicking technique is dreadful ! He misses too many sitters . This needs a MAJOR overhaul before next season! IMO
