Bio
Recruited from the local Carlton Districts side, Alex Barningham was a serviceable follower and utility who provided depth to the Blues during a golden era for the club. Standing at 180cm—a capable height for a follower in the pre-war era—he debuted in 1909 and became a regular contributor over the next five seasons, often resting forward to snag a goal. Despite his reliable service, Barningham’s career was marked by unfortunate timing; he missed the entire 1914 premiership season before returning to the senior list in 1915. While he featured in seven matches during that successful 1915 campaign, he ultimately missed selection for the Grand Final side that secured back-to-back flags, hanging up his boots at the end of the year as the Great War increasingly impacted the league.
