Stats
Bio
Recruited from local side Parkville, Charlie Maplestone was a rotational player who featured for the Blues during one of the club's most difficult on-field eras. Arriving at Princes Park at the turn of the century, he managed 16 senior appearances across three seasons when Carlton was frequently anchored to the bottom half of the ladder. With just a single major to his name, Maplestone operated primarily as a defensive utility in a side that lacked depth and consistency. His career ended midway through the 1902 season, seeing him depart the league just before the arrival of legendary coach Jack Worrall transformed the struggling club into a premiership powerhouse.
