By Roger Vaughan AFL AFL stops Carey's elevation to NSW legend status The AFL has blocked Wayne Carey's elevation to legend status in a new football hall of fame, citing the issue of violence against women as the reason. AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon says he rang Carey on Friday morning, hours before the inaugural members of the NSW Football Hall of Fame were to be officially inducted at an SCG function. The former North Melbourne great was originally among 10 of those inductees who were to be granted official legend status. While Dillon explained that the AFL did not object to Carey's induction to the hall of fame, it took issue with the extra honour.
