Saw the photo of Carey/Ablett/Dunstall/Lockett and a comment about Carey being the best of the lot due to how many ways he could turn a game - he could be thrown into the backline or in midfield and dominate. Pagan used to throw Carey into the backline when North needed his influence down there, and I didn't ever see Carey lose a contest. We all remember the 99 grand final when Carey collected 8 or so class touches in the space of 15 minutes in the midfield.
My question - if Carey had been a permanent key position defender, how would he have ranked with the all-time great defenders?
Bonus question - how would Carey have ranked if he was a permanent midfielder?
