Bio
Born Herbert William van Joolen, this Port Melbourne CYMS recruit entered the VFL with Melbourne in 1912 and immediately showed promise as a dangerous option near goal. He booted eight majors in his debut season, establishing himself as a capable forward who could find space in the attacking 50. After continuing his service with the Fuchsias into 1913, Joolen requested a clearance midway through the 1914 season and crossed town to South Melbourne. His tenure at the Lakeside Oval was fleeting, consisting of a solitary senior appearance and a single goal before his league career wrapped up. He eventually returned to his roots in the Port Melbourne district, playing out his footballing days in the local leagues during the First World War era.
