FORMER AFL star Wayne Carey has warned Tasmanian high school students of the dangers of giving in to temptations.
Carey, who threatened to become as famous for his off-field scandals as his performances for North Melbourne, confessed to Kings Meadows High School students yesterday that he was far from perfect.
"I was like Peter Pan the little boy who never grew up," he said.
"There are temptations, you will make mistakes."
Carey and retired Geelong star Ronnie Burns visited Kings Meadows, the only Tasmanian school to hold an indigenous sporting round to celebrate NAIDOC week. The celebration was seen as an opportunity to forge closer ties between indigenous communities and Australians of all backgrounds.
Carey, a co-host of Marngrook Footy Show, said when he went to school in Wagga Wagga, NSW, he had been "a shy kid" who loved sport.
"I was a skinny, scrawny kid, but I was always one to stick up for the kid who was picked on, who did not look the same, or not as trendy," he said.
Carey said if you recognised and accepted your mistakes, you could move on and become a better person.
