Carey is the very definition of "stats" don't tell the full story and it will be interesting to see how these discussions are viewed in 30-40 years when it's not so fresh in people who watched him recently in their lifetimes.Probably similar to Whitten, Royce Hart, etc are all viewed now I guess.He'd sit far more favorably with modern advanced statistics, like score involvements, goal assists, contested marks etc. He only had CM for a portion of his career. He was a score generating monster.It's a shame there's not complete footage of every single game in history, even someone as recent as Carey, as you would think AI would solve this in time and they'd be able to analyse and compile historical advanced stats quite easily.He doesn't sit statistically with the likes of Franklin, Lockett etc when you talk goal averages, but if you watched him you knew.He pretty much defined that modern CHF position, the previous decades (Particularly the 80's) was just lead out FF's in acres of space.You didn't have key forwards popping up on half back lines or kicking runnings goals working back in transition.Matthews, Ablett Snr and Carey will always be the mount rushmore to me, the only one I've ever considered a chance and I'm still on the fence in elevating him there is Ablett Jnr.If Judd maintained his West Coast level, he'd have been a chance also. Although, if Carey maintained his pre-injuries level from about pre 1995, we'd be having a single discussion.No one else on the same tier as those 3 imo.
