Stats
Bio
Recruited from VFA club Williamstown, Ernie Jamieson established himself as a cornerstone of the Carlton defence during a golden era for the club. Making his debut in 1909, he developed into one of the league's premier full-backs, renowned for his sure hands and powerful clearing kicks that often turned defence into attack. His ability to read the play and spoil opponents made him a vital component of the Blues' backline during their back-to-back premiership triumphs in 1914 and 1915, where his steadfastness under pressure was instrumental in the club's success.
Beyond his on-field reliability, Jamieson was a respected leader at Princes Park, eventually ascending to the captaincy for the 1918 and 1919 seasons. He represented Victoria in interstate football and remained a consistent performer throughout the war years and into the early 1920s. By the time he hung up the boots in 1922, he had cemented his standing as a dual premiership player and a defender who rarely lowered his colours across his 125-game career.
