Debuting in 1952, Carroll was a half back flanker who never cemented his spot in the Melbourne side until the 1956 season. He played 20 games that year, including Melbourne's win over Collingwood in the Grand Final and was a premiership player again the following season, playing on the half back flank.[2]
