Carey wants to play for Adelaide [Archive]

What exactly did he say?

Not exact as I was concentrating on my son's game, but Rucci said something along the lines of, the word coming into Adelaide on Wednesday was that Wayne was advised he would be better off coming to SA (Port were only luke-warm over him) and he decided that's what he wants to do so he must have been happy with whatever deal the Crows offered him, and it is now up to the Kangaroos whether a satisfactory deal can be worked. KG was happy. Said if Carey comes to the Crows next year they will win the 2003 flag. :eek:

Not sure about that.

Do you think that whichever team does get Carey will win a Premiership because of him? I don't think so but imagine the media and the football public, Carey this Carey that.

No I don't think so! Just saying what KG said. He was very excited at the prospect. And yes I can also imagine what the media would be like here if Carey came to town? :rolleyes:

Leigh Roy

21 Jul 2002, 22:23

Not just the SA teams, any. Say Freo get Carey and they get in the top 6, it's not a strange prospect but because Carey is with them, he'll be the only reason they got there.

Caroline Wilson asked Kevin Sheedy on "talking footy" last night "who will Wayne Carey be playing for next year?" Sheedy replied "probably Adelaide".

But fair enough. Sorry to air the "dirty laundry" so to speak on your board. Saw the topic and it got my interest.

Having a very hard time coming to terms with the prospect of Wayne in another club's guersney as you can probably gather. Sorry mate. :(

Ditto and cheers.

And if Wayne pulls on the Crows colours next year, i'm tipping you'll be seeing a whole lot more of us!!

I'm going away now to assume the phoetal positon and put my thumb in my mouth at the prospect!! :(

(Why Wayne? Why?!?!?)

25 Jul 2002, 13:59

I'm foaming at the mouth just at the prospect of Carey joining the Crows....I mean, what a story.....the disgraced King returning to the State where he started his footy, to regain his rightful place on the throne.....*ant slips away to dreamland*

Just wondering if anyone else thinks that the Roos aren't in as strong a bargaining position as they may think. They have a player wanting to leave the club. They (seemingly) don't want him back. He wants to join another club. Same situation with what happened with us and Shaun Rehn. We couldn't just demand half-a-dozen first round draft picks, because he was going anyway. We had to take the best on offer - which turned out to be one early draft pick we traded to get Bodey.

napsyd

25 Jul 2002, 16:48

Agreed. Beggars can't be choosers. The only one in any position of power really is Wayne himself.

It will be hard for me to come to terms with Wayne at Adelaide if it happens. I spent a decade hating the mongrel! Probably just a reflection of how good a player he was.

I hope he does come to Adelaide and recaptures some of that form.

Good one Porthos!

As if the Crows are going to give Mark Stevens back to the Kangaroos for Wayne Carey. I don't think so. It would be more likely draft picks and mid ranged players. Certainly not our key players - of which Stevo is one.

The Crows are no certainty to get Carey. If he is looking for a quite little life reconciling with Sally - then Adelaide is not the city to come to! We are a two team town and our players are always being watched by fans/media. Just ask the lads who were involved in the Ramsgate saga, Peter Burgoyne and his antics, Stewy Dew being picked up by the cops in an unregisted/uninsured car. He wouldn't have a quiet life that is for sure!

I think you will struggle to get a high profile player as the club doesn't have great bargaining power maybe we will let you have lawrence angwin for him but seriously i for one would love to see him at the club and if he doesn't go well he can go back and help north adel out god knows we need it!!!:D :D

Kane McGoodwin

25 Jul 2002, 22:52

kb - I believe Carey wants the following:

1. To get out of Melbourne (& away from the Kangaroos, Mr & Mrs Stevens) to start a new life. ie. Doesn't really want to run into them on the street.

2. He would like to play in a side which has a good chance of winning a premiership. This rules out Sydney. I doubt he want to head West, particularly when he has connections in SA. Brisbane don't really want him (or need him). Carey doesn't really fit into Port's plans (ie. recruiting an older player) - they are more likely to try & get Pavlich.

The Crows seems the obvious choice. We are no certainties, but I would suggest favourites.

Kangaroos would want something reasonable for their dethroned King. I don't think they are interested in Angwin, but I reckon another couple of clubs are. So we may be able to do a 3-way deal with a draft pick(s) &/or a 2nd tier player thrown in. I hope Sugar doesn't want to return home, but if he does, then we should not stand in his way & use him as part of the trade.

Then there is Pavlich. If Pav knows Carey is coming to the Crows & will be a premiership threat, he may decide to come & joing the party. Freo are in the box seet, but it should be an interesting trade period ...

Aren't you guys in the same situation with Kane Johnson - he is a player wanting to come home to Victoria.

As suggested, I think that it may come down to where Wayne wants to go. If he is really specific, then we may struggle, but if he is tossing up between a couple of clubs, then it will bea bidding war that we will win...

You better hope McLeod get's it at some stage. Without him you guys are just middle-of-the-road. Oh sorry, that's right, you guys touched up St Kilda by 18 points in a game where McLeod didn't play.

And Johnson, And Ricciuto for most of the game, ohh yea and apparently Goodwin was getting ripped apart.

The Adelaide 2nd rate midfield ripped apart St Kilda's 1st string.

They said on the news last night that if Carey did choose Adelaide, that the biggest problem would be convincing his wife Sally to move to Adelaide as she would prefer to stay in Melb. And he wouldn't want to screw her around much more.

Kane McGoodwin

2 Aug 2002, 00:10

Well unless Essendon trade a play or two away (which I doubt they will want to do after last year's dramas), they can't fit Carey under the salary cap since the AFL refused to change the veterans list eligibility (for Hird).

Carlton are the latest team to after Carey, which I find a bit strange as they are not likely to be a premiership contender over the next few years & should look at rebuilding their team. Also, it is unlikely Pagan will coach them (now he looks to be sorting things out with the Roos).

I reckon out biggest competition will come from Hawthorn & Melbourne, who are similarly positioned to the Crows. I wonder how Nick Holland feels about the Hawks chasing Carey. Certainly the Dees could do with a CHF after the retirement of the Ox.

It may come down to whether he & his wife want to stay in Melbourne or move interstate. Well it looks like the Crows are doing everything in their power to snare him. They have met with him, been the only team to offer him a contract (so far) & both Roo & Bicks have rung him up to encourage him to join the Crows. I guess all will be revealed next week...

Spogs

2 Aug 2002, 12:33

It's gets so damn frustrating watching the midfeild continually pumping the ball up forward with no reward. Stevens is doing fine at CHF so Carey wouldn't need to do much running around. That's why Carey's age or mobility isn't that important. What we need is a big strong target in the goalsquare.

We don't need Carey to play a 'Pagan's paddock' role, we need 'Ayres Rock'. Coincidently, that means we wouldn't need to change his nickname much either. We can't call him the 'Roo Boy' obviously (We've already got one anyway), so we can just call him 'Ulu-roo'.

I had actually given up the whole thing mate but it is my last day in the country for 5 weeks today so I thought I would have one last day on the net.

Will miss the Adelaide board but not much else.

Last time I went overseas the Crows won 5 in a row, so lets hope the same thing happens again.

Last time I went overseas the Crows won 5 in a row, so lets hope the same thing happens again. No reason why they can't win 5 games in a row (v PAP's is probably the hardest game) . I hope to be back in time for a Crows v Port Prelimiary final.

I'll should have net access in Sweden/Holland & apparantly they have highlights of the games too. So I should be able to keep in touch with what's happening. Hopefully, I will be back to see the Crows play in the preliminary & grand finals.

Enjoy your trips fellow Crow posters Sure will. Thanks. :)

Thanks Mike Sheehan...for asking him 100 questions about the crows, the state, the coach, the #18, brett burton (hasnt got OP god dammit!) and then Wayne said that mcleod was in the top 2 players in the comp.

When are you ready to sign Wayne?

Yep definatly got the feeling that adelaide have a good chance after a few comments he made espicially after he said about relocation of his wifes job wasn't a problem as they have offices in adelaide as well!!

'Scuse I.

I reckon that a complicated three-way/ four way trade could be on the cards here. I'm OK with Johnson but WANT MORE !!!

I feel we should be well compensated for and you guys might get 'a guarenteed flag' out of this. Lucky b@stards. ;)

McLeod will 'most likely' win the Brownlow next season.

??? Sorry didn't realise you could see into the future, "most likely" is a bit of a stretch when this season hasn't even finished, McLeod could be run down by a bus tommorrow. You can never say that a player is most likely to win a Brownlow, how often does the favourite, even on Brownlow night, win?

Reading between the lines of what he said last night, I believe his preference will be Adelaide. I would rather nothing for Carey than be short changed on a deal. We will play hard ball im sure, we have nothing for him this year so wont be any skin of our nose. I wouldn’t go underestimating Norths bargaining position here, bcos I think youll find most North people would support leaving him to the draft if the deal isnt acceptable.
And just remember what ever colours he is wearing are external only, he will always be the ROOBOY! I hope you guys continue to boo him, otherwise it would hypocritical wouldn’t it?

Both those team did lose, didn't they ;)

Two 2 to 1 predictions a week before the event are a little more justified than a 400 to 1 prediction 8 months before the season has even begun.

I still think they "should" have won, but all credit to the Crows they beat them on the day and that's all you can do.
