Stefo was the son of George Carey. Not the Archbishop of Canterbury. Anyway Carey senior had five games for four goals at Fitzroy in 1966. The family shifted to Sydney where the gangly Stefan grew up playing rugby union.

The story goes the tallster followed a mate to the Pennant Hills Aussie Rules club. Carey was a quick learner. Represented NSW in the 1993 Teal Cup 18 months after adopting the great game oi. SC chalked up 45 games at Pennant. The Sydney Swans chose him with a 1993 zone selection. The recruit was a giant. 197 centimetres and 105 kilograms.

At the end of 1999 the man had played 45 games. Sydney traded him to Brisbane for draft pick 21. Stefo wore the number 30 guernsey. In the opening game of the 2000 season Lions v Blues at Optus. Carey copped a hard bump from Aaron Hamill. It caused a thigh injury that took a month to heal. Scarey had the rest of the year in the QFL. He was then delisted after three games on the interchange.

Ryan Fitzgerald

Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald’s AFL career didn’t go as far as the big fella would have liked but he certainly has some stories from it. Two in particular come from Rodney Eade, the recently sacked coach of the Western Bulldogs.

One involves former ruckman Stefan Carey who Eade screamed at in front of the team after a loss… “Stefan Carey, 105 kilos of fairy floss, if I had a baseball bat I would take it to your head right now.”

Trade description

Stefan Carey (Sydney). Fairly useless big man. His bulbous bald head is useful for teammates, e.g. "There's Carey. Better look for another lead."

Mr Ripper's ode to Stefan Carey

To the tune of "Manic Monday" by The Bangles

STEFAN CAREY

Lions make the Prelim, only one win away from a dream,
But that flippin' C. McKernan took apart the backline of our team
Corey does it every time; we can never find a match-up for him
We need a mobile ruckman, but the list to choose from's pretty slim

So we had to pick up Stefan Carey (oh no)
Not at all hairy (oh no)
Just a tad lairy (oh no)
His form, it tends to vary (oh no)
We had to pick up Stefan Carey

Played him in the early rounds, he had a fruitless run in the ruck,
And it soon became apparent that the only decent Carey's "The Duck"
Stefan's going 'round in circles, can he kick or mark or jump or run?
Or has his naked noggin been hard-boiled by the hot Brissie sun?

We had to pick up Stefan Carey (oh no)
Not at all hairy (oh no)
Just a tad lairy (oh no)
His form, it tends to vary (oh no)
We had to pick up Stefan Carey

Got a crook back
His hammies ruptured on the eve of round 4
He broke down
Now it's a worry
'cos he's hanging 'round with Heuskes
On the wrong side of town
An idea strikes our erstwhile star:
"C'mon Adam, let's go run a bar!"

Time to re-assess
His priorities

So it's au revoir to Stefan Carey (oh no)
Not at all hairy (oh no)
Just a tad lairy (oh no)
His form, it tends to vary (oh no)
It's au revoir to Stefan Carey

Don't even remember that one!

I pictured the Bangles singing that and was slightly aroused, does that make me bad?
