Matthew Carroll

With selection No.15 in the 2023 AFL Rookie Draft, Carlton welcomed the impressive Sandringham Dragons defender Matthew Carroll to IKON Park.

A reliable defender who is noted for his attack on the ball and man with speed, the left-footed Carroll is classy and composed down back while also getting involved in offence.

A premiership player with Sandringham, Carroll also featured for Vic Metro in the national carnival, where he showcased his traits on both sides of the ball. Performing a strong lockdown role against South Australia, Carroll then released the shackles against Vic Country, ending the day as one of his team’s standout performers.

Carroll has the ability to play higher up the ground, but it was across half-back for both his state and with the Dragons that he shone, showcasing AFL attributes that saw the Blues snap him up in the rookie draft.

He can get the job done both in the air and on the ground, posing a double threat with his overhead ability as well as his dash out of defence.
