Stats
Bio
Recruited from the country town of Avoca in the Victorian central highlands, Carl Rohde was a sturdy utility player who arrived at Glenferrie Oval for the 1935 season. Standing 184cm and weighing 86kg, he possessed the physical dimensions of a key position player or follower, a valuable asset for a Hawthorn side (then known as the Mayblooms) that often struggled for size against established VFL powerhouses. Rohde made his debut in Round 4 against St Kilda following a last-minute clearance, but found his opportunities limited, managing just four senior appearances in a single-season stint at the top level. Like many country recruits of the Depression era, his VFL career was fleeting, and he eventually returned to regional Victoria, passing away in Bendigo at the age of 48.
