Wayne Carey's flippant comment on past cheating scandal
Wayne Carey has made a series of astonishing remarks about the high profile affair that ended his career, as he engaged with cheeky fans on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The exchange began when the former AFL player made a seemingly innocent statement about AFL teams trading players.
“If your club gets a player that plays your position? That should always be used as motivation to have the best preseason you have ever had,” the former Kangaroos star wrote.
“Difference between being good and great? Absolutely nothing beats hard work #tradeshow.”
But fans were quick to recall Carey changing clubs back in 2002, as one person cheekily asked, “How come you traded clubs?” to which Carey replied, “Really?”
“Didn’t work hard enough?” another added to the banter.
Many others added to the virtual pile on, until one fan recalled the reason why he had to change clubs 21 years ago.
“He slept with his teammate's wife!” the account wrote, to which the footy star responded with “3 times”.
The rogue posts didn't stop there, as the same fan then jokingly asked if the footy star was “back on the bags”, referring to Carey's incident at Perth Crown Casinowhen a suspicious looking bag of white powder fell out of his pocket while he was gambling.
On last year’s season of SAS Australia, Carey spoke candidly about the affair scandal.
“I slept with a teammate’s wife. It’s haunted me for 20 years,” he said at the time.
“My integrity will always be questioned. I’m not trying to prove anything to the public — it’s to myself."
“People can change. They evolve. Hopefully this can help me.”
