Stats
Bio
Recruited from VFA club Brunswick, Dave Arrell was a depression-era footballer who earned a brief trial with the Blues during the 1934 season. He made his senior debut in a Round 11 clash against Essendon at Princes Park, managing to hit the scoreboard with a goal in his first outing. Despite that promising start, Arrell found opportunities scarce in a competitive Carlton lineup, making just three further appearances before his VFL career came to a close. His short stint at the top level serves as a classic example of the talent pathway between the VFA and VFL during the 1930s, where local association standouts were frequently tested to provide depth for League lists.
