Notes

Copyright - ((C) Copyright Nationwide News Pty Limited) People - Carey, Wayne; Scanlon, Christopher; Ablett, Gary Last updated - 2017-10-31 AFTER his interview with [Wayne Carey] for the ABC's Enough Rope, Andrew Denton characterised the former footballer as "in denial" about his behaviour. Given Carey's performance and statements to the media in recent months, it seems a fair assessment. There are those who find it easier to see Carey as a single bad apple; a flawed character who lacked the strength to "Just Say No" to drugs. Up to a point, there's no argument there. No one forced his bad behaviour. Carey's career is similarly instructive. His on-field talents saw him quickly elevated to the status of captain of North Melbourne at 21 years of age and lauded as "The King".
