Rumour Oh Wayne. You've done it again.

No need, unless the loan is made out to him personally. Surely he is not that dumb.

Wind up the Co, reset Dick up doing whatever Dick does. Pay 10c in $ and credit rating not affected.

I reckon that’s the plan.

A google search will tell you a little about Dick.

Hey bro, do me a solid and hang onto this $600k while I wind my company up, will you?

Exactly.

The fact people think Carey would need a loan from his brother is laughable. He's minted and one of the few people from that era of bad boys to maintain their wealth through their offield troubles.

He'd also be on that sort of dough annually with Channel 7, let alone factoring in he was probably the highest paid player in the AFL by around 25% for most of his career.

Sad to see an Indigenous owned business fail.

Different twist on a Jewish Stocktake.

There is no way in hell Carey has money concerns, is extraordinarily wealthy and property magnate.

Or at least gives the appearance of being wealthy.....

How could someone like him be short of money? He would have been the highest paid player at the Roos for 10 years and would be on mega bucks with his media commitments.

90s was a different era
Much smaller salary cap
Plus there wasn't much support in players to reinvest their money to set themselves up for post-football back then.

I could very easily understand why someone from back then would be struggling now financially. Those who would've been starting as Carey finished up would've had a whole lot extra support to make the right decisions.

I would actually be in more shock if Daniel Motlop was in this situation than Wayne Carey.

Wayne Carey accused of owing $600k in loans
Former footy great Wayne Carey is being chased over more than $600,000 in loans he allegedly owes to his brother’s roofing company.

Wayne misunderstood and believed the roofing companies loans were on the house

True, but Carey's wage back then would still be in the top handful of players today.

 

[FrankGrimes]

Pretty the loan is just some tax doge of some sort, my understanding is these loans need to be paid back in this case, happens a lot with these rich companies, grollo was similar inter company loans everywhere.

Good post, some very relevant points.

When injury riddled D. Brereton walked out on the Hawks in 1994, his offer to stay was a guaranteed 16 games/season at $3k a match, i.e. $48k, a rather large drop from his previous full contract worth $70k/season - which is about what the Swans paid him after his transfer...

You must be living under a rock to think Daniel Motlop isn't doing well for himself life after footy champ

I dunno, maybe people have more insight on this than me, but if Wayne Carey is making in the region of $600,000, then I think Mofra needs to reconsider his bottom 50 and whether football media members can be included. That's seriously worse than any AFL player is being overpaid if it's anywhere near the mark, which I doubt.

How could he possibly command that much? He isn't funny, he isn't insightful, he isn't as committed a troll as Kane Cornes and here's the kicker: he isn't popular or even likeable. Like, isn't the point of giving huge network stars the big $ that they're vital to keeping the audience? He doesn't have much of a leg to stand on, does he? Nobody would lose a wink of sleep if Roughead or Pendlebury took Carey's spot in a couple of years and he was no longer on the coverage.

He, or any of the other boys' club members would be doing well to be on 100k

That's the thing, the boys' club is paying the boys' club. Highly doubt its 600k but absolutely on more than 100k.

True but we are talking the mid to late 90's here. House and land were 600k in a lovely suburb. The Duck was earning 300k per season (not including his licensing rights).
He has always had homes listed on the market over the years. Usually asking upwards of 2-3 million.
He's loaded!

Maybe, I could be wrong. I just figure that there'd be plenty of AFL legends who could provide everything that Carey does and who are cleanskins and/or likeable and who certainly wouldn't sneeze at $100,000 for what is essentially a part time position. It would seem to be pretty much the definition of a buyer's market to me.

Agree, what unique quality does Carey bring than any one of a stack of ex players couldn't?
Apart from probable connections to "colourful racing identities"

He can speak mostly in complete sentences and doesn't lose his train of thought often. Ergo, for a footy player he is quite smart and ex footy players who can speak properly are in high demand.

His Ch 7 salary would be 600k + easily .
