Bio
After failing to break into the senior lineup during an initial stint on Essendon's list, Rohan Welsh revitalised his prospects in the VFA, starring for the premiership-winning Dandenong side before being recruited by Carlton in the 1991 Mid-Season Draft. A dangerous crumbing forward with an innate goal sense, Welsh enjoyed his best football during the 1993 season where he booted 28 goals, yet he ultimately suffered the misfortune of being named an emergency for the Grand Final and missing the premiership victory. While soft-tissue injuries and the immense depth of the Blues' list restricted his output in the mid-1990s, preventing him from securing a permanent role during the club's dominant era, he is remembered as an opportunistic goal-kicker who successfully bridged the gap between state league football and the elite level.
