Booney, I think Stan means to set the saracasm detector on for his own post - his second paragraph to be exact.

That's how I read it too.

I meant my own post, I guess it would have come across as a little confusing.

I actually thought my second paragraph was pretty funny, not so much a one particular group, just in general a dig a some of the situations that have cropped up.
And as I was saying in my last paragrapg to come out in a book and admit to that is a big thing.

I don't buy the paper, so didn't get to read any extracts.

But here's one from online.

I've never really been a Wayne Carey fan myself - but even so - does sound like he had a pretty horrendous childhood,
Which almost fits with someone who grew up around them,
Telling me many years ago that the 'oldest' brother was a bit of a loose cannon (In his late teenage years especially)

It's really sad to know kids are put in/through these situations.

I know some people are saying here's yet another 'feel sorry' for me kind of book from a fallen star,
I don't feel sorry for him as an adult so to speak, as I'm sure he had enough help around him if he wanted to 'sort himself out'.
But I really do feel sorry that as a child he had to suffer this kind of thing.

Certainly adds to the rumours floating around the AFC in the period Carey was around and in particular the leadership group at the time

Dutchy! How dare you suggest that any Crows player has done anything worse than receive a parking fine for a 5 min breach...

That's true.
Our jocks are naturally much nicer than everybody else's jocks, within the limits of usual jock behaviour...

He certainly doesnt stand alone in any of those fields does he

Expect to see Kate Nielsen in a glossy telling her side of the story pretty soon...

From the recycling bin, and just for REB
The reason he decided to play for the Crows and not the Power
Imagine this PA Half forward line
Carey : Lade : Stevens ...

I couldn't care less what he did off the field.
There are plenty of people a lot worse than him out there.
The duck is and out and out legend and I love him!!

So we need more police, should carry hand guns, and keep our wives, daughters, and girlfriends. locked up, because there is a culture of permanent immaturity and selfishness out there...
Seriously, I feel sorry for the guy, having read how he grew up, but at some stage of your adult life you become responsible for your behaviour.
He was a great footballer, possibly the best ever, but being a "star" doesn't mean you can do whatever you like - or it shouldn't..
