Bio
Recruited from Albert Park, Joe Russell faced a difficult task breaking into the Carlton senior side during the early 1920s. He functioned primarily as a wingman or flanker but found himself on the fringes of selection throughout his tenure at Princes Park, managing only sporadic appearances rather than a sustained run in the team. Over the course of four seasons, Russell accumulated 16 games and kicked two goals, ultimately struggling to secure a permanent spot in the Blues' best 22 before concluding his VFL career at the end of the 1925 season.
