Wayne Carey has weighed in on the sledging controversy currently dominating headlines across Melbourne, offering to square the ledger and give Blues skipper Marc Murphy some genuine ammunition by bedding the partner of St Kilda defender Jake Carlisle.

“I’ve been on the phone with Murph and he’s quite upset, so I’ve offered to go in to bat for him,” Carey confirmed on Channel 7’s Talking Footy. “Big Jakey will get what’s coming to him, don’t you worry about that.”

It is unclear how Carey plans to successfully allure Carlisle’s girlfriend, or if he even has one for that matter, but the AFL legend seemed supremely confident of getting the job done.

“All in a day’s work for The Duck.”
