stefan Carey

[woo]

I only remember him as a complete dud, but someone came up to me the other day at work and was telling me how good of a player he was...

is my memory failing me, because I remember putting my head in my hands everytime he touched the ball...or am I wrong, was he a good player... this goose told me he came 15th in the brownlow one year, which i simply refuse to believe.

thank you, cause this idiot I work with said he was good not that he would ahve a clue not being a swans supporter etc. glad to confirm what I already knew

Stefan Carey was good ... for about three minutes in total over about 27 games.
Anything outside of that timeframe, was crap.

A bit of a synopsis of his career from the coodabeens web site...

Coodabeens.com - Stefan Carey

[caj23]

He actually had a great debut season where he came runner up in the rising star and kicked a bag against the weagles in the wet at subiaco in a BOG performance.

Unfortunately he didn't live up to promise and was traded to the Lions.

[liz]

I believe he suffered a back injury which turned him from very promising player to very ordinary player.

It says in that, that Phyland caught the pig. It was definitely Darren Holmes.

[ScottH]

He had a great game against Collingwood or Bris (I think) once.

[Jeffers1984]

We traded him to Brisbane for pick 21 which was a fairly decent deal...too bad we used pick 21 on Scott Stevens.

Dud.

Definition of a straight swap...

[Lucky Knickers]

I think you should go print Stefan Carey and Wayne Carey's stats and pictures and just make sure he's not confused!!!

[caj23]

Round 16 1997

17 kicks, 5 Handballs, 10 Marks, 4 hitouts, 5 Goals @ Behinds V West Coast

Those are Stefan's stats, not Wayne's!

As Liz has already stated, a promising career derailed by injury.

Certainly not as big dud as suggested by some on this forum with short memories

Ahhh yes, good old stef.

I am also of the opinion that his was a promising career curtailed by injuries. Definitely limited his mobility and then he had a horror run of form and luck where almost every pass to him fell just short. It's a shame - I remember that game against West Coast well. I sat up in the Doug Walters stand and though - hang on, we have a potential future champion player here.

Alas, it never got that good ever again.

So many promising starts - Carey, FitzGerald, O'Farrell.....
