The football media don't have any moral integrity when it comes to who they hire, they gave Wayne Carey a job.
Being a low down, marriage wrecking, drug taking women beater is clearly no impediment to a career in the sporting media but Carey's moral indiscretions were not directly related to football.

A retired AFL player landing a job in the sports media does not compare with a current AFL player serving a ban for doping working in the AFL media. Carey has AFL media accreditation and can interview players on the field and in the rooms. Players currently serving a ban for doping can not get AFL media accreditation.

Fair point and I agree. I was just speaking to the moral aspect, as it seemed to me that that's what some were getting upset about.

Thought this was quite funny of Rucci in this morning's article about Crows members at their AGM.

At Alberton, Koch — and chief executive Keith Thomas — had to juggle the uneasy inquiry on why the Power is aligned to a betting agency. At least, the questions about the bus routes to Football Park are now gone, thanks to the club’s move to Adelaide Oval.

One Q was why can't we have a new shed, apparently ravens live in sheds, somewhere we can get together.
Given where they were created maybe they could meet up in a courtroom as a homage to where they were born.
They luuvvvvv their karparkistan HQ so much their AGM was at AO. I wonder if they were charged for the hire.

I saw Carey at Hamilton in Victoria and nodded to him. He stoped and had a chat with me, for about 10 minutes, as he saw my Port Badge.
He said that he liked what Ken has done at Port and loves watching Port play that fast footy game.
