Wayne Carey: Dees Not a United Team

When this season starts and continues week by week to its ultimate end - where the Demons are in the top one quarter of the premiership ladder - prior to the finals, of course, we will have to count all of the media's naysayers who got it so terribly wrong at this pre-season time of the year.

Carey, his mate, Robbo, and many others will be singing from a different song sheet by that time and still expecting the general public to recognise their 'insight' and 'sophisticated declarations' ... and their inherent right to sit on the bandwagon as far as the Demons are concerned. 

Correct.

A case of run with the hares and hunt with the hounds.

Lets hope that his advice relates to on-field matters only. 

Hopefully no debriefs at the Carey penthouse.

Carey is a [censored], not a united team? He would know all about being involved in a united team, kangaroos were so united when he was captain he thought you could share partners, I could handle this criticism if it was someone else but when Carey comes up with this tripe it just screams hypocrisy

Drawing a rather long bow for anyone to suggest that because Jesse spoke to Carey about his body language issues at some stage that he has current knowledge of the unity or otherwise of the inner sanctum of the MFC playing group.

NB: I know that you are not.

That was the point of my earlier question. It was well publicised that Hoges and Goody had a meal with Carey, as per Andy’s links. I was wondering whether there was anything beyond that to justify a “Carey is pretty tight with J Hogan” claim, on which to base a query about whether Carey got some possible “good oil” about the vibe at MFC.

It would seem not.

An enormously long bow.

Carey offers next to no value as an on-field or off-field commentator. The fact he's jumped on this bandwagon comes as no surprise.

Public knowledge,  Carey has spoken about them catching up regularly before on live TV , Talking Footy 

Even if Hogan and Carey were BFFs catching up for regular coffees (which I doubt), is Hogan really going to confide in Carey, a media analyst, about the inner workings of the club? It seems far more likely their conversations revolve around his set shot routine and how life is going in general.

I'd venture a guess that Carey has no idea how united or otherwise the Melbourne side is. None.

We performed well in the JLT.    I see no signs of division at all and I am as pessimistic as most of us when it comes to the MFC.

 

THIS. - Wayne's role in the media is to sensationalise, or infer stuff that can become sensational. The evidence of course is contrary and people write narratives post hoc.

I remember when Collingwood were in their premiership year and they were amazing leaders because they could have tough finger pointy conversations on the field - and by correlation that they were winning, it was demonstrating that those tough convo's on the field were the CAUSATION of their success.... and THEN ...when they were loosing those same tough finger pointy conversations - were ALSO the cause of their failure!

Melbourne will be fine...with rifts, and without rifts...

Taking Wayne Carey seriously.

Fair call. Although I'm pretty sure I made it clear that I don't. Still this site will always present stories and issues about the Dees in the media and other places for discussion by Dees fans. No one is forcing anyone to open or read a topic.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
