Wayne Carey makes a VERY dark prediction about his future as he blasts his critics for ‘driving the mothers of my children into their graves’

Wayne Carey has made a dark prediction about his future, claiming he has ‘only nine good summers left’ and has called on the world to stop bringing up his troubled past.

The two-time AFL Premiership winner and seven-time All-Australian was excluded from North Melbourne’s 100th anniversary celebration video released earlier this week.

Speaking to fellow former Geelong star Sam Newman, Carey, 53, urged people to “stop the rot” and claimed he didn’t want to live the rest of his life while people continued to dig up some of the dark parts. of his past.

“This is me finally saying, ‘Come on, enough is enough,’ said the great Footy at Newman’s Podcast You can’t be serious.

Carey, who retired in 2004, added, “I probably only have nine good summers left, Sam.

‘I certainly don’t have to spend the last years of my life living in things that happened more than thirty or twenty years ago.

‘I’m not really interested in bringing up things that happened so long ago. It’s amazing.’

Carey announced earlier this year that he and model girlfriend Jessica Paulke, 33, were expecting their second child together after previously splitting. Carey also has a daughter with Sally McMahon and a child with former fiancée Stephanie Edwards.

While he revealed that the constant talking about his past controversies had a negative effect on him, he added that it also took a toll on his previous partners and his children.

‘They drive my children, their friends… the talk of violence. They drive the mothers of my children to their graves, that’s what they do,” he said.

“The vindictive nature of what is still happening is just wrong.”

North Melbourne’s decision to omit Carey from the club’s anniversary video was hit with criticism from some, including Channel Nine’s Tony Jones, who told the Kangaroos they needed to “grow up” when he previously said this week on 3AW radio.

The broadcaster added: ‘People certainly deserve a second, third chance, don’t they?’

Corey McKernan was another to call out the Kangaroos, posting on X: “FYI, North Melbourne, you know Wayne Carey played for us, right?”

Carey said it was “unusual” that he was not included in the video, while Newman added it was a “shame.” Carey claimed that Kangaroos legends Wayne Schimmelbusch, Denis Pagan, Sam Kekovich and Malcolm Bligh were also not included in the clip.

“I don’t know what you get for murder, but you don’t get this,” Carey continued.

“I spoke to Sonja Hood and said, ‘Sonja, I just want you to know that this has caused a stir and people are talking about it. I’m not sitting there saying why you didn’t include me, but I just have to address the constant talk about the things that I [supposedly] done in my life, I haven’t done that yet.

“I think it’s for my health to get it off my chest, to actually say how I feel and to be a voice for others and say how they feel.” If that makes me feel better, then I’ll do that.

‘I’ve reached a point in my life where I can live with myself and not feel guilty about these things anymore. I have decided through help, and only through help, that I will no longer live with that toxic shame and guilt about these things that were written and are not true.

“I think the constant storytelling and the constant headlines that come out after something as simple as a few people tweeting that I’m not in a video and my whole history of things that didn’t happen being written about all the time, is not so. my own fault. It’s just gone too far.

“You look at what Alastair Clarkson has been through in recent years. Chris Fagan. Guilty before they are offered any presumption of innocence. It’s wrong.

“I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve learned to forgive myself.”

The former North Melbourne star has made headlines in the past for off-field incidents, including his affair with teammate Anthony Stevens’ wife in 2002, which reportedly led to his move to the Crows in 2003.

In 1997, the 53-year-old pleaded guilty to indecent assault after allegedly grabbing a woman’s breast on a Melbourne street. The case was settled by a civil suit filed out of court by the woman.

Carey told the podcast he pleaded guilty after being advised to do so by North Melbourne.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted North Melbourne for comment.

“I have not been charged with domestic violence and have never been accused of it,” he said.

‘There have been two major incidents in my life, one more than thirty years ago. It was in King St and I got the advice from the North Melbourne football club about thirty years ago.

‘I don’t remember what happened that night. It was in the middle of the street, it wasn’t some clones and daggers thing. I pleaded guilty on the advice of North Melbourne because we were halfway through a year when we thought we had a shot at the premiership.

‘The accusation was that I grabbed a girl by the breasts and said, ‘Get a bigger set of tits.’ I pleaded guilty on the advice of the North Melbourne Football Club.

‘I have absolutely no memory of what happened that night. “If I had known I had to live with that for the rest of my life, which I did, I would be fighting that today.”

In 2007, the ex-Crows star was arrested in the United States after allegedly breaking a wine glass in former fiancée Kate Neilson’s face.

Carey also claimed that the allegations against him were “ridiculous” and incorrect.

“An incident with a girl I saw occasionally, I wouldn’t call her a friend… we were abroad in a restaurant and everyone says you gave someone a glass,” he said.

“You literally gave your girlfriend a glass.” That’s ridiculous, that’s not right. Yes, the glass hit her because I tried to throw wine, I’ve said this before in public, I tried to throw a mouthful of wine on her in a crowded restaurant. I leaned over and touched her lip. Then I threw the glass on the ground and it shattered.

In 2008, police were called to a Port Melbourne apartment and allegedly used capsicum spray to subdue Carey after he allegedly attacked officers.

“There was one incident in Port Melbourne that I have a criminal record for,” Carey said. “I called the police to my apartment. When they got there, I opened the door and said you are no longer needed.

‘The police entered my apartment and then I defended myself in my own apartment. I did not dispute that charge at the time.

“They came in and grabbed me in my apartment. So I resisted arrest, that’s my belief. I didn’t even throw a punch. These are actual things that took place.”

Last year, Carey was kicked out of Perth’s Crown Casino after a bag containing an unidentified white powder fell from his pocket while he was on the premises.

He claimed the substance was an anti-inflammatory drug he was taking to treat injuries he suffered on the field.

The ex-footy star was subsequently fired from his jobs at Channel Seven and The Age over the incident. The AFL had also prevented Carey from being honored at a Hall of Fame ceremony.
