More info on Josh Carr
Talented on-baller with high possession rate. Drafted from East Fremantle, in his first season at the club in 1999 he had tendinitis at the back of his knee and had a disrupted start to the season when he was knocked out in a practice match against Port Magpies. He spent the whole year in the SANFL and had already played half a season at senior level for home club East Fremantle.
A tough midfielder, he was frequently given jobs on opposition ‘guns’. In his first six weeks at the top level he had to counter players like Wayne Schwass, Glenn Kilpatrick, Garry Hocking, Robert Harvey and Brent Harvey.
His strong work ethic made him a difficult proposition and he had a strong year in 2003 to finish fifth in the best and fairest.
By 2004 he had built a reputation as a ‘tough-nut’ who didn’t mind getting under the skin of opponents. He injured a jaw early in the year, but came back strongly and hit his straps at the right time in the finals where he helped lead the way. On Grand Final day he was involved in several stoushes and didn’t take a backward step when set upon by Jonathan Brown. Carr had the last laugh with a premiership medal.
He admitted he had thought long and hard about a move to his brother’s club, Fremantle and when Port won the flag he thought the time was right. He briefly thought about staying but then made the move.
