Wayne Carey gets mentioned a lot in the media. However his off field behaviour is rarely mentioned in the media. This is the issue. His off field actions were notable, deplorable and a key factor in who he his.
2012 - denied entry as a visitor to a prison after a history of cocaine traces while trying to visit in the past. Not so long ago.Are you kidding? Carey was in exile in the AFL landscape for a long time over his actions. However they were quite a while ago. He's cleaned up (at least publicly), and everyone's moved on.
Because his first name was Wayne. As in Wayne King. That is the reason. Stop inventing a narrative to support your opinion.
Carey’s mythology is largely based around recency bias and a VFL centric bubble. Barry Cable, Stephen Michael, Barry Robran and Russell Ebert dominated games and seasons. They also had wonderful contemporary rivalries (that they successfully came out on top of). These examples illustrate the lack of critical thought and logic in your opinion.
Was Wayne ‘King’ better when Hird won the Brownlow? A player in the same position, in the same year won the award for the best and fairest player adjudicated by the only designated independent stakeholders in the game. Wayne ‘King’ did not even poll the most votes in his team that year.

Which part?Cmon. This is utter rubbish.

So I am really not kidding at all. He has a history of domestic violence, drug abuse, general violence and is of such poor character he has been denied entry to the US.
Everyone has not moved on. Everyone should not move on.
And in reference back to the topic, his profile is high enough for a person of questionable character.
He alternated between that and duck (due to how he walked) at the heights in high school.I just want to know why you think Wayne King is what he would have been called, not Wayne Kerr. Why would anyone call him wanking? Lol, seriously, that is a hilarious misstep in logic. You don't call people `wanking`, you call them a w***er. The King nickname clearly comes from being the best CHF of the 90s and perhaps all time.

Which part?
Carey was routinely beaten by the 27 from WCE.
A player in the same position from a different won a Brownlow when Carey’s team won the flag.
In the same year, a different player polled more votes.
The ‘Open Mike’ with Leigh Matthews, Leigh Matthews talk about hitting Barry and the reasons (Barry being the biggest threat to him being one of reasons). Barry’s ‘Open Mike’ sees Barry proclaim himself a better than Leigh.
Michael had one of the best, if not best WAFL careers - regularly beating players who went onto the VFL.
Ebert - 4 times Magarey medalist.
Robran - 3 times Magarey medalist.
Carey was a person of questionable character and a disruptive force within a team environment. Would a ‘team’ of Carey’s beat a team of Pavlich’s? A team of Leigh’s? A team of Cable’s?
It is not a ‘clear’ Carey better footballer than everyone else.
It is clear Carey is a person of questionable character.
He has a high media profile due to construction rather than merit.
Which part is ‘utter’ rubbish?
Carey was great, but the "King" nickname is partly a play on words, because it's a noun, and it makes sense.I just want to know why you think Wayne King is what he would have been called, not Wayne Kerr.
