Yeah fantastic CHF that played in front at all times. Wasn't afraid to stand under the ball unlike Moore. Thats why he got sent behind the ball.

I’m shocked
Dream on Adam. Poor old Nick choked multiple times when the pressure was really on. That woeful kicking style of his failed time after time in the big games when it really counted. He used to go to water, literally.

Hilarious that you actually believe that.
You must be pretty naive Adam, to think that if you’re going to make a career out of juvenile trolling of Pies threads and players, that you’re not going to get some blowback from time to time.
Bit hypocritical to now whine about it when it occasionally comes back the other way. Poor old Nick choked when it really mattered in the 2009 and 2010 grand finals. Darcy Moore on the other hand, rose to the occasion magnificently.

Really? Moore was well beaten GD day.
Darcy= Articulate and inspirational premiership captain.
Nick= Mumbling, 2 time embittered loser, who fails under pressure.

Sheesh I was actually going to cite Moore as an example of someone who I actually rate at both ends, or I rate as a player beyond his defensive acts hahahaha

Daniher beat him convincingly GF day. According to Melbourne philosophers that probably means Clarry Oliver would win 17 best and fairests at Manchester United playing only 3 games
This is an opinion that has had a lot of people jump on me for whenever I have brought it up. It is basically an opinion you can't have.
Here I am going to say it. I don't think Carey is one of the best players of all time.
Nothing about his stats suggest he is one of the best of all time. His stats to me indicate he is a bit better than Nick Riewoldt was, which isn't nothing to be sure, but it isn't "best of all time"
For a Key Forward Carey is way down on his contempories when it comes to goals kicked too. 2.7 goals per game in the 90's is not a lot.

Moore started as a forward got put back as the poster stated. It happens no big deal.

Pretty sure he thought Billy Longer was better than Brodie Grundy as well.He thought Billings was better than Bontempelli

Poor old Adam lives in a very sad, alternate, obsessive fantasy world. Totally removed from reality and normal standards of rational thinking. He’s been immersed in a deep depression since 3/10/2010. 13 long years. Situation has become so entrenched, that it’s pretty obvious that it’s now irretrievable.
And that Paddy McCartin was better than Christian Petracca. Poor old Adam is certainly a great judge.
The non Vic clubs should break away and start their own league.

Wins should be worth 2 points, draws 1 point.
This 4 points/2 points nonsense needs to end.

This isn't jumping on you, simply expressing the reasoning you ask for.
Carey was twice voted the League MVP. Few forwards have won it (Riewoldt is the only to win it this century) and only a handful of players in general have won it multiple times.
He was the best in his position for 8 consecutive years, only injury in 1997 stopped that being 8 consecutive AAs at CHF. That's incredibly rare. Besides Matthews and GAJ, who have had that claim over the past 50 years? Maybe Franklin as a CHF as well?
4 B&Fs as a key forward would also be considered quite rare I'd think.
His goal tally is strong but not as lofty as others who sat deeper - Ablett Senior being the exception. 17 disposals a game as a key forward in that era is equivalent to 20 plus today. He roamed up and down the ground and was a presence all over. CHF was basically modeled on how he played the position. He was the prototype.
It ended in disgrace and by all reports he is a prick, but he was considered arguably THE talismanic player of his generation and lead NM to multiple flags.
