Bio
Clarrie Calwell was a local recruit and the younger brother of Carlton premiership player George Calwell. Making his debut in the opening round of the 1920 season, Calwell was a utility who joined the senior side shortly after returning from service in the Great War. He held his spot for just the first two matches of the year before losing his place in the lineup, unable to consolidate a permanent role in the team. While his football career was limited to a brief cameo, Calwell’s legacy is defined by his extensive military service, as he holds the rare distinction of having served in both World War I and World War II.
