Overview

• Wayne Carey, Anthony Stevens, and Glenn Archer will present a united front at North Melbourne’s Round 17 centenary match against the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.
• Carey’s attendance follows his omission from the club’s centenary promotional video released six months ago, which had sparked criticism from fans and former players.
• The reunion marks the first time the trio has come together at a major club event since Carey’s 2002 exit after his affair with Stevens’s wife, which deeply fractured relationships.
• The centenary celebration will feature players from the club’s premiership teams of 1975, 1977, 1996, and 1999, as well as last year’s AFLW champions.
• Carey, who captained North Melbourne to two premierships and was named the club’s greatest-ever player in 2019, has been gradually reintegrating with the club through training visits with his children.
