with all the talk about ablett not filling in all the criteria and such, will carey have to wait as long as him to be put in the AFL hall of fame?

 

[ARDENSTREETforever]

if Wayne Carey is not inducted within 5 years, its an absolute joke.
The AFL Hall of fame is for exactly that, and not about their off field issues.

I think there's some kind of qualifying period between when you played your last game and when you are eligible. Don't quote me though.

3 years after retirement.

3 years after retirement.

Well in that case, obviously a shorter time frame compared to Ablett.

Carey should get in but we should cut the number of "Legends".

19 is far to many, 10 is much more fitting.

Currently
.Matthews
.Coleman
.Ablett
.Hudson
.Pratt
.Buttun
.Barrasi
.Coventary

And 5 coaches
.Hale
.Norm Smith
.John Kennedy
.Alan Jeans
.Barrasi

Add to this Lockett and Carey and they should be the 10 in so far.

Any chances or further suggestions would be handy
Only add in 1 every 5 years, to many "Legends" cheapens the title.

Why isn't Mil Hanna in the Hall of Fame yet ?
I'm outraged.

Where is Mr Football?

 

[snakebite01]

Carey should be in after the minimum 3 year period.

He never committed any crimes and certainly has done no worse than the majority of AFL players. The only thing he did wrong was get caught.

I dont think Ablett was inducted as a legend, I think he was just inducted into the hall of fame.

As time goes on, there are more and more legends of the game. You can hardly just stop inducting them all together, or remove people from the list.
