Stats
Bio
Recruited from Brighton Grammar, Fred Webber joined Carlton at the dawn of the Jack Worrall era, making his debut in the opening round of the 1902 season. A lively forward capable of hitting the scoreboard with consistency, he averaged better than a goal a game across his three seasons at Princes Park to serve as a dangerous option in attack. Webber was a member of the side that contested the 1904 Grand Final against Fitzroy, though the Blues ultimately fell short in the premiership decider. That match marked his final appearance at VFL level, concluding a brief but efficient career that helped lay the groundwork for the club's subsequent golden era.
