Wayne Carey has declared an interest in returning to the AFL in a coaching role.

"You always listen," the North Melbourne said after watching the Kangaroos train on Saturday afternoon.

"I'm always there to talk, and see what may occur after that."

Interviewed at a club function on Saturday night, he said: "I think I do have something to offer. Whether I want to do that yet, I'm not sure."

Asked if he were available, he said: "Denis (Pagan) always said it didn't matter if it's Snowy off the tram, you always listen.

"That's available?"

Carey: "That's available."

It's an interesting concept. I'm still pretty divided on whether or not i'd want him back at the club. No doubt he was an amazing player, but his shortcomings as a man are what leave me with concerns, especially considering that so much of coaching these days is about the development and guidance of the young kids on the list.

Senior players Brent Harvey and Drew Petrie, who both paid the $10,000 fee to attend....

Probably could have gotten Scott a milk crate to stand on...

 

[Manbearpig]

Gotta love the photo

Has Brent Harvey suddenly grown or is B Scott a 2 foot midget?

 

[Chadwiko]

They really made Brad Scott look short... and yet Boomer seems to be almost as tall as Petrie.

Obviously only one milk crate and Boomer won rock, paper, scissors with Brad Scott to see who got it

Sure looks like it! Was funny the other night seeing Vossy with Lynch, Colby and I forget who was the other. He looked so short!

Get him back to the club! I will be gutted if someone else signs him up!

He will be an assistant coach at north next year - no doubt or in some development role - JB will get it done.

Hey did Brad Scott pay 10k to get in. He really has been involved in our club the past week which is fantastic, shows his keen.

Hello, new desktop wallpaper.

Although, not keen on Waynes choice of tie.

One of these boys is not like the others.

[Blight von Torp]

Forgive my ignorance, but who's that between Petrie and Boomer?

 

[Mongrel Punter]

I would have thought it was Barry Davis - 75 Captain

Apparently there was a crate that all bar Scotty and Drew are standing on. And it is Barry Davis - all three premiership captains, plus our next premiership coach and captain.

All class

Just to come along to pre-dinner drinks!

And given that they were playing the next day, that amounts to $5,000 per glass of diet coke. And it was probably post mix watered down!

I'm coming around to the idea of Duck as a specialist coach or maybe even forwards coach. If, as he says, he commits 100% to the task, then it starts to become an attractive proposition. I have seen him speak publicly twice this year and I am convinced that he is a changed person. He will not lead any of our youngsters astray, that much is certain.

Yeah I reckon I'd just about shell out $10K to get my head in a photo like that.

Surely, Scott is seating down on this photo. FFS.

I have a teammate who i honestly believe would an unbelieable pick up for any club Im trying to think about the best possible way to get him to north. He is 22, super quick, super tough and won the MPNFL league Best and Fairest last year at 21 and is just as big a chance to take it out again - i believe collingwood have spoken to him but i need to somehow let north know about him. Chris Irving is his name.

Why isn't he playing in a real league?

Carey in, Bewick out. Simple as that.
