What a bloke. Grew up watching him and always thought he was a gun. To talk that openly and honestly about his struggles is something to commend. Hope he continues to go well in life.
I've watched Footie shows all my adult life but this 12 minutes with Todd Carney was as important viewing as anything i've ever seen. A young man who has found his answers. He didn't blame any one! also reflected on how close if he continued his behaviors he was to losing everything. Good luck to you and your young family. Spectacular Todd Carney Well done!
You're still a Champion Toddy! Stand tall you've overcome so much & owned it! Brilliant player one of the best runners in the game at 6 & Dally M winner & now mentor! 🎉
Good on you boys for creating a space for one of the most talented players to play the game, who loved the game and loves his family. No one is perfect but for him to open up and speak about his whole life journey to being the man , the father and partner he is today was so inspiring and a beacon of humility.
It's easy to laugh and snigger at Todd Carney, as he has done some pretty stupid things, while inebriated, as a public figure. But he has owned it, and by bravely speaking out he is helping others, and being a positive role model. He never hurt anybody, and he paid a huge price (much bigger than some) for his foolish antics, and deserves credit now, for turning his life around, and bring a positive role model for those school kids, and his son. Loved this interview.
I’m glad I saw this, I know there is more inside of you that in time you’ll deal with. Number one is you have taken a positive step towards making your life better. No one learns more until after you’ve been made humble. Good on you Todd, stay strong 🙏
Great interview. As a supporter, I shared the disappointment that Todd did not fulfil his incredible potential with the Raiders. So glad that he has cleaned up his act and hope he goes on to have a happy and fulfilled life from now on. 💚
Hi Sorry I haven't forgotten about ya till next government is all good for a few days it's just the rust on the beach in Australia vs England and the older one of the best things about a doctors appointment today is still too early for the new year anniversary of the earth perhaps it was on the way home this week mate cheers lyndsey
Good for Todd. Owning his issues. There are two other people sitting on that panel who probably got away with far more back in their day thanks to no smart phones.
Still a champ, Todd you done a lot for us young boys in 22 right now and watched you grow, to all men, mental health is our diamond all you got is yourself at the end of the day.
He was one of the best when he was at the Roosters! Always enjoyed watching him play. Spotted him a few weeks back at a cafe in Southport. Good to see hes still doing good things for rugby league 👏
I remember watching him playing for Atherton roosters man he was such a good player loved to run awesome player good to see he's got things sorted now and his son is his focus 👌🏾 👍🏾
This is what happens to young players that are brought in, that are still kids and are too young, without those important life lessons under their belt. It has happened to other great players over the years other than just Todd - Julian O'Neill was another example of a player that went down this very dark path as well. In these situation, the NRL should in part, hold some responsibility and be to blame, for not providing some kind of "Mentoring Program" for these young kids, so they can be educated and learn these lessons so they can be kept on the straight and narrow.
Denied a GF win in 2010 when Smith picked th 2 raw rightside centre & wing, and then Ref's gift Drags early Try when player clearly tackled out in lead up,hot as th trots I thought.
Its unfortunate that after all this time this is all he's asked about, get over it, it happened its over, he's addressed it. But no, it gets dragged up over and over again and its now the only thing anyone wants to talk about. Its starting to feel like the ex prisoner who gets employed by the jail to go and speak to the fresh inmates to tell not to do what he did, and the ex prisoners entire life from then on becomes consumed by the thing he probably wants to just move on from but he ends up constantly talking about how he just wants to move on from it for the rest of his life so never actually moves on at all.
Todd, just stay off the drink. That’s it brother, but it’s a time equation. In time, prove to yourself that you are stronger than the grog. You then become, healthy and on it, and a beacon of light for those coming behind. Life, there is no replay……. Don’t waste any more…..
They were hard on him. Look at what the players get away with these days. His was just a photo of him doing the bubbler and pretending to, and they crucified him for it.
I think the point is that alcohol often makes people make bad choices. That statement isn’t an excuse, and he’s owned his poor behaviour, it’s an understanding of the dynamics that you apparently do not have.
Where’s the rockstar treatment? He’s owning up to his mistakes and informing everyone that he’s trying to better himself for his family. Get over yourself mate. You must be an all round perfect human I’m guessing
Soon as I saw this guy on the show yesterday I changed channels. He's everything the NRL is trying to distance the game from and the footy show are promoting him.... Discusting..
@@martingoodef811she’s right. These nrl blokes think they are bigger than society and act like total fw . Most are doing coke. Clubs and the nrl protect them most times . I have no sympathy for these ROLE MODELS.
Apparently there are NO COLOURED PLAYERS IN THE NRL THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO REPRESENT THE GAME ON THESE PRIMETIME SHOWS. SUCH A RACIST FRONT LADS. YET YOU LOVE WATCHING THEM PLAY. SHOW SOME RESPECT AND DIVERSITY. FOLLOW NZs LEAD. AFL IS NO DIFFERENT BUT YEAH CARRY ON.
What a bloke. Grew up watching him and always thought he was a gun.

Good on him to clean it up, and show people who gave up on him that people can change, great interview thank you channel 9

Quite emotional listening to Todd Carney yesterday when he told everyone how his Lady left him because of drinking...
Godspeed Todd !

James Graham on his podcast had him as a guest twice and it was real good,almost 3 hours though for both shows.
Joey is such a gun at getting players to open up
Yes he does but then he cuts them short....
Pretty messed up that this guy gets avoided like the plague but lodge is welcomed back with open arms
100% the bloke didn't hurt anyone but himself
Spot on !
100% the guys bashed a poor family. Should have done 20 years
@@johncurtis9900 and I don't believe he ever paid them the reparations he was meant to either .
The bloke acted like a complete turkey his whole life before 18 months ago. I’m sure he knows why
Great player and awesome human being. My late Dad's favourite player at the Sharks. Good to see Todd is in a good place

Yes he owned up to his issues. God bless Todd and his family, thanks for the interview.
What a great person. He was really over punished , but he has left all that behind. Just a pity that we never really saw his best football.
Good on you Todd met you in Brisbane 2011 at Goodna Rugby League club after the Brisbane Floods. Always rated you as player
So proud of how far he's come

Thanks for being real Todd.
Always was always will be a legend of the game. Glad to see his doing well stay strong my bro💯

@@brisal88 ∆bsolutely on point !
Each to their own!!! Great footballer!😊

Good on you Todd I grew up in Townsville n respected th way you played in nth qld.. fitted right in..
I remember watching him playing for Atherton roosters man he was such a good player loved to run awesome player good to see he's got things sorted now and his son is his focus 👌🏾 👍🏾
Sadly i think this is the best interview I've heard from these guys .... i would have loved to hear more
Great natrual talent good on ya mate all the best for the next chapter in life👍
His first season at the Chooks, the man couldn't be stopped. Maybe the best season I've seen a player have.
Legend
All the best, Toad, stay strong
For anyone looking for more of him then podcast James Graham does had him as a guest twoce, almost 3 hours all up but its a good listen.
I was a huge Goulburn United fan as a kid. Darryl was a great no 7
I know Todd's doing good things i went to a school footy clinic the other day at keebra high and Todd is one of the development officers there 👌
Thank you.
Good Luck Todd
Well done mate
Atherton, met top people there, good on ya Toddy,always good to yarn & see ya at Coogee
Shot Toddy, thank you for sharing 🤙🏽
Good to see he has found his peace , a pitty he never achieved his full potential with the natural talent he had .
Rumour has it he almost got a deal with Schweppes 😂
Loose unit for sure. I hope his sobriety is long and fulfilling.
This is what happens to young players that are brought in, that are still kids and are too young, without those important life lessons under their belt. It has happened to other great players over the years other than just Todd - Julian O'Neill was another example of a player that went down this very dark path as well. In these situation, the NRL should in part, hold some responsibility and be to blame, for not providing some kind of "Mentoring Program" for these young kids, so they can be educated and learn these lessons so they can be kept on the straight and narrow.
Denied a GF win in 2010 when Smith picked th 2 raw rightside centre & wing, and then Ref's gift Drags early Try when player clearly tackled out in lead up,hot as th trots I thought.

Its starting to feel like the ex prisoner who gets employed by the jail to go and speak to the fresh inmates to tell not to do what he did, and the ex prisoners entire life from then on becomes consumed by the thing he probably wants to just move on from but he ends up constantly talking about how he just wants to move on from it for the rest of his life so never actually moves on at all.
I'm sure it's hard for him to keep re-telling the darkness of his past. He's 18 months sober now, though, so at least it's in the rear view mirror.
Todd, just stay off the drink. That’s it brother, but it’s a time equation. In time, prove to yourself that you are stronger than the grog. You then become, healthy and on it, and a beacon of light for those coming behind. Life, there is no replay……. Don’t waste any more…..

Go Bubbler Boy
Didn’t actually have a clean slate in Atherton….
What's the point of having him on then you cutting him off. He does that often.
He had a bit of talent but the off-field stuff meant he never truly fulfilled his potential.
Legend. Only hurt himself.
Aksed😬
I remember him as the guy that peed in his own mouth. 🤣
Steve Irwin
Martin Karen Lewis Jennifer Clark Helen
He had choice so why should he be treated like a rock star his behaviour 0ver several years was disgracefull
I think the point is that alcohol often makes people make bad choices. That statement isn’t an excuse, and he’s owned his poor behaviour, it’s an understanding of the dynamics that you apparently do not have.
Forgive, you’ll feel much better
Where’s the rockstar treatment? He’s owning up to his mistakes and informing everyone that he’s trying to better himself for his family. Get over yourself mate. You must be an all round perfect human I’m guessing
Did he do Botox on his forehead looks like it
most people on tv do nowadays, men and women.
Soon as I saw this guy on the show yesterday I changed channels. He's everything the NRL is trying to distance the game from and the footy show are promoting him.... Discusting..
You’ve lost focus, it’s not about you or your opinion, be humble
Whatever people make mistakes.
@@martingoodef811she’s right. These nrl blokes think they are bigger than society and act like total fw . Most are doing coke. Clubs and the nrl protect them most times . I have no sympathy for these ROLE MODELS.
But this is way where you can help people now because it's still will happen.Good on him for telling the truth 😊
So you came to RUclips to share your opinion, haha thats sad mate, you doing alright big fulla?
9:06 "I rang Suzie, she was Max at the time" o.0 😮
He said “she was my ex at the time” 🤦🏻♀️

I keep saying, make these longer, Ch 9. At least 20 minutes. Please.
