AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
The way some people are behaving on this thread you'd think that Carey had rogered their wife and smashed a glass in their face.
Superb interview. Denton is without peer as an interviewer.
I think Carey was as honest as his psychological space allows him to be at this stage. There’s still a whole bunch of things he’s denial about though.
I actually felt very sorry for the bloke and admire him for having the balls to face a very searching public examination.
You'll never get Cousins doing that.
The guy was cheating with one of his best mates wives.......does it get any lower and could he possibly be more stupid???
nice histrionics .......what a load
"carey was a champion footballer", beloved this, beloved that......... - listen, carey's made many crap decisions, not just one, & who's throwing stones? many really do know that he's had this coming for YEARS.
But here's the thing. You have believed what you've read. You don't know the truth, you weren't there. Isn't it just possible that the media have blown things out of proportion? Wouldn't be the first time would it? The fact that he's a well known target makes it even more likely.
Just too many instances for them all to have been blown out of proportion or not that serious, once or twice (or even 3 times) sure, but Carey had a reason or a denial or an extenuating circumstance for just about every incident.
Not buying it.

How very naive of you to not think a story as big as Wayne Carey ____ing up isn't going to be blown completely out of proportion. Look at what happened in the Ben Cousins arrest fiasco. You only have to look at that and the resulting withdrawal of all charges to see how things can quickly be overstated when a big name is involved. The bigger the name, the quicker the water gets muddied by people who know people who know someone who was related to somebody that saw it happen.
Carey did not deny anything, rather he clarified the "facts". Unless you were there you cannot possibly say his clarifications were lies.
I would think that appearing on a show like Denton's on the ABC would have been a suggestion of whoever he is seeing for help. Yes he seemed to smirk alot, YES his stories sounded dubious, and YES he shouldn't be excused for any of his actions due to relating them to alcohol/drugs/upbringing etc.
What I saw however, was a bloke that obviously wasn't entirely comfortable being there, and I think his smirk would be to cover a petrified feeling that few would be able to understand sitting in the studio where he was.
At the end of the interview where Denton asked him about his idea of what domestic violence is, and whether Carey deems himself to have trouble with aggression, Carey claimed he didn't belive he did. When Denton brought up the wine throwing incident (malicious or not) and said something along the lines of "is that not aggression?" Carey seemed to have some concession in that it was an issue that may need to be worked on. Not sure if it can be considered an admission of a violent personality, but much more significant I think than the "bombshell" claims on cocaine use and being an alcoholic that the media will sprawl on, and a glimps that the interview is for the better for him.
Agreed with Caro on Footy classified on the Herald Sun's gutter-British-style tabloid story on interviewing a half pissed Carey dad. Good to see Archer slam it as well despite working for the small paper. Hutchy moved the topic along pretty quickly after Arch expressed his dissapointment.

Sorry, but what actually does Cousins have to answer for?
- Did he grab and assault any girls in the street?
- Did he shag his best mates wife at his other best mates house?
- Did he belt up his girlfriend?
- Did he glass anyone, including his girlfriend?
- Did he resist arrest in 2 countries?
- Did he allegedly assault Police in 2 countries?
- Did he do anything at all that directly inflicted damage on anyone around him?
Carey is a violent, abusive thug.

if you are going to post stuff atleast get it right he never shaged as you put it kellie stevens @ archer's house
Can't expect him to do a 360 degree turn psychologically.
As people of said, there is a lot he won't accept but heck, it's a shitload more than he has in the past.
He is taking small postive steps in the right direction though. Recovery doesn't happen overnight.
Best of luck to him.
If that is the case and this is a dumb question but what actually happen at Archer's house.
well thats not for me to say is it but he didn't shag her
I accept that isn't for you to say, but if Carey didn't shag Kellie Steven at Archer's house then what was the problem.
she walked in to the loo after he did they were only in their together for ten seconds and then all hell broke lose
