Coaching great Kevin Sheedy has led eight inductees for the AFL
Hall of Fame, but Wayne carey will have to wait.
On the night Alex Jesaulenko was elevated from Hall of Fame
member to official legend status, Carey was the notable
non-selection.
The two-time North Melbourne premiership player, arguably the
greatest player of the modern era, became eligible this year for
nomination.
On the basis of his football career alone, he would be an
automatic inductee, but the Hall of Fame selection panel can also
refer to a candidate's character.
The other Hall of Famers were Gavin Brown, Garry Hocking, Glen
Jakovich, Geof Motley. Noel Teasdal and Des Tuddenham.
