It was Carey’s first major public appearance since the white powder scandal.
The former North Melbourne player was banned from the Crown casino in Perth in September last year after he was caught with a zip-lock bag of white powder.

Carey was escorted out of the casino on September 1 after a bag fell out of his pocket while gambling.
After all, the zip-lock bag contained anti-inflammatory medication he took to deal with pain from his football career, Carey contended.

Carey was reportedly slapped with a two-year ban from entering Crown premises, withdrawn from his Triple M radio show, and banned from attending the Channel 7 telecast of the Brownlow Medal.
Carey has had several love interests in the past.
He was previously married to his longtime partner Sally McMahon, marrying in 2001 after meeting at a party in Wagga Wagga when he had just turned 20 and she was 17.
But the couple’s relationship soon made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Barely a year after getting married, the North Melbourne captain found himself embroiled in a sordid affair with Kelli, the wife of his former teammate Antony Stevens.

To make matters worse, Stevens was at Carey’s side as best man at her wedding.
Carey and Sally managed to mend their relationship and had a daughter, Ella, now 17, before splitting in 2006, just months after she was born.
After their split, Carey began a relationship with model Kate Neilson.

The couple got briefly engaged in 2009 but broke up shortly after amid allegations that Carey was cheating on him.
He moved on with Stephanie Edwards in 2011 before announcing their engagement four years later.
But it turned out to be another failed romance for the AFL star, with the couple confirming that they had split in 2016.

Carey’s manager in 2016, Chris Giannopoulos, confirmed that Carey and Stephanie had split earlier in the year, saying they were “working things out”.
The couple share a seven-year-old daughter named Charlotte, whom they welcomed in 2014.
More recently, Carey was linked to Victorian model Jessica Paulke after the pair were seen getting cozy at the Australian Open in January 2018.
Paulke became pregnant the same year and welcomed their first child, Carter Michael Carey, in February 2019.
