Stats
Bio
A local product recruited from Christian Brothers College St Kilda, Frank Carbone was a rover of Italian descent who progressed through the Saints' Under-19s program before graduating to the senior list. He was thrown into the deep end for his debut in Round 1, 1985, enduring a brutal initiation as a struggling St Kilda side suffered losses of over 100 points in his first three league matches. Standing 178cm, Carbone showed glimpses of talent as a goal-kicking small man, booting eight goals across his ten career appearances, but found consistent senior opportunities difficult to secure. After missing the entire 1986 season, he returned for a brief two-game cameo in early 1987 before departing the VFL, eventually becoming a notable player for local powerhouse St Kilda City in the Southern Football League.
