In his time at North Melbourne, Wayne Carey was the undisputed king on and off the field. Since his retirement, though, it seems like it's almost been forgotten that he spent the last two years of his career at Adelaide.
I looked up his stats and was surprised to see that he played 28 games for 56 goals -- quite a handy return.
Most people would remember his first game against his old club, which was heavy with emotion and Freudian overtones, although he actually played against the Kangas another two times. My only other memory of his time at Adelaide was having a day out against Essendon and kicking 6 at AAMI Stadium. There was also this goal:
So what are people's thoughts on Wayne's time at the Crows? Did the Crows fans/players embrace him, and do they still? Did North fans find it hard to watch the King playing for another team (I imagine so)?
