The Lord of the Flags: Return of the King (Carey)

[Kangaroos4eva]

Yep start with the basics.

Don't kick into the man on the mark.

Don't try to out mark your own teammate.

Don't try to out mark your own teammate.

Dont kick into the corridor when there is an option in front.





...hmmmmm better quit before this turns into Daw v Drew version 69.

Stein look

Make it happen Duck.

 

[Unity-28]

would like to see Duck as specialist forwards coach especially for Maj and Mckay. i know it wont happen but that would 'Special'

this is actually somethg that could happen. not as a firwards coach at north, more so as individuals with duck. he has stated numerous times, hed be happy to mentor/teach/chat to any big forward that wants to improve his game.

Carey as forwards coach will be perfect.
Sadly he can never coach the club because with modern footballers egos the way they are, the list will sook and turn on him due to his past if they don't perform or don't get selected. You can't stress the points of leadership and sacrifice and teamsmanship and all the other cliche driven bullshit that exists in AFL circles with Ducks history and he in a managerial role. Sucks because his football nous and intellect would shade Scott, Crocker, Stevo, Arch and 3 quarters of the phony AFL coaches in the game today.
Carey loses and the club loses. Sad but what can you do.

This is a knife that cuts both ways.

What about the pressure placed on a player under Carey's tutelage? It would be immense.

If we were going down the path of ex players who haven't coached coming back to work especially with any one why in the f*** wouldn't we turn to McKernan?

If a player can't deal with the pressures of performing then that's a good thing. Separates the guns from the frauds.
Corey seems happy running his business but im sure money comes into it also.

 

[Uber poster]

Settle down uber, a simple I disagree would have sufficed.

It is more so an educated guess based on the comments made in boomer's book and the club and Wayne not exactly being warm to each other. Wayne maybe forgiven by Anthony, but this is a bloke that betrayed him with Kelli, that shit is hard to forget no matter who it is in the situation.

I don't know them personally or the inner details, but all I can do is give an educated guess based on linked facts and events and connecting that to typical human behaviour.

I'm not upset whatsoever.

Just saying don't pass off guess work as fact as it makes it seem like you've got inner scrot information.

I never even remotely said it was a fact or ever claimed to have inner scrot info. Any insinuation of it being true or not is determined by the reader of the poster unless I state directly otherwise, so no fault of my own. Geez, if you attack all this board's posts that can't be fully proved, but could be remotely possible, then you are going to be pulling up every third post.

His commentary is not particularly insightful and his stints at coaching have been less than memorable. It is great to have him back in the fold and part of the NMFC community through a lot of hard work by a lot of people. But no reason at all to consider him as a coach of any kind.

It wouldn't be bigfooty without a pointless weekly internet fight.

I've chatted with Jonno Brown and asked him a few times if he'd ever want to coach or go back to Brisbane Lions and help out in some capacity. his response was like it was the last thing on his mind.
Not all stars want to be coaches or work at a footy club.
Hes got a really good gig talking shit on TV an commentating.
I suspect Carey is of the same ilk. He would have got a gig somewhere in some capacity had he had a desire.

Maybe, but there isn't a club in the land that wouldn't snap him up in some role if he really wanted too.
Who knows time will tell.

Speaking of the King, has anyone else seen the North finals video the AFL have released? Voice over by none other than the great man, who refers to the team as 'ours'. Nice to see him being more involved with the club, even if it is purely from a media perspective.

Link? Would love to see this.

Is a pretty good one, not sure if it's the one mentioned however.

The "get Carey back at North" thing comes up every now and again. One thing I've never heard though is Carey say that he actually wants to do that. Or any evidence other than that we was an awesome player that he'd actually be any good. Wayne coming back would be a fantastic symbolic move for the club, but I'm not certain it would actually do anything much at all.

2011? How many positions has he applied for since then if he's so interested. All fart and no shit.

I know what you mean, and I used to think the same thing honestly. But it got me thinking about how controversial a topic it is, he knows what people think about him so surely he would never make the first move on any said club. The way any article I've had a look at on the topic reads is that he declared himself as available and is waiting to be approached. Now this article is 2011, surely he would have had offers yet he's still not coaching. Now I have absolutely 0 proof, and it's only me speculating when I say this but all the evidence above screams to me that he's waiting for a particular gig. Where else but the club in which he was forged as one of the AFL's greatest? He could easily see it as his opportunity to give back and make peace with a place in which he left a LOT of bad blood.

But as I said, I agree with you. It's only speculation and optimistic thinking that prompted the thread and even then there's no evidence whatsoever to suggest it would work out... but if it did work... I'd wager that we'd be one of the most feared clubs in the AFL.

He strikes me as the type of person who'd return only if he felt he was desperately wanted. I'd prefer he volunteered his services rather than expect calls pleading for his return.

To hear he'd spent much of the Summer working with Majak, Durds, BBB etc outside the club, teaching them the finer tricks of KPF play, is the sort of thing I hope for.

Think about this though - he's misdeeds are why he's known as someone who takes what he wants with no regard for the consequences. Could he see approaching the club instead of the club approaching him as this careless taking he's known for? I hate the ambiguity in my words because I'm definitely being overly analytical and probably just chasing ghosts. But the waiting may well be a statement he's making to suggest he's changed/changing.

But as you said, offering his services to the club as a mentor would be a good start before we even consider him for the top job.

Blind faith sucks, but I'll remain optimistic. We're surely one of the most tight-knit clubs in the comp, gotta stick together.

 

[Twinkletoes]

I give the idea of Wayne returning to the club very little consideration kt and I wouldn't be holding my breath hoping it actually occurs. Wayne does as Wayne wants to do.
