Kristian Jaksch (born 7 October 1994) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Greater Western Sydney Giants and Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was a versatile key position player who could play both in the forward line and as a defender.[1] He played for the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup before being drafted by Greater Western Sydney with pick 12 in the 2012 national draft.[2] In 2014 he was traded to Carlton,[3] and at the end of the 2017 season he was delisted after playing just 14 AFL games in 5 seasons.[4]
Early life
Jaksch was previously a student at Carey Baptist Grammar School[5] and played for most of his childhood as a forward.[1] In 2012 he played in the TAC Cup for the Oakleigh Chargers as a defender, and he was selected with the twelfth in the 2012 AFL draft by Greater Western Sydney.[2]
AFL career
Greater Western Sydney (2013–2014)
Jaksch had a knee injury early in 2013 which limited his opportunities,[6] and he made his debut in round 22 against Richmond, the team he grew up supporting.[7] He kicked a goal with his first kick. In October 2014, Jaksch was traded to Carlton.[3]
Carlton (2015–2017)
In his first pre-season at Carlton, Jaksch injured his left foot, causing him to miss out on two months of training.[8] He returned to training in February,[9] but after making his debut for Carlton in round 1, 2015 against Richmond, he suffered two broken ribs which sidelined him again.[10] His injury troubles continued when he injured his ankle later in the season.[11] For the rest of his career, Jaksch mostly played for Carlton's VFL side the Northern Blues. In a match against the Casey in 2017 he kicked 5 goals in a 55-point win.[12] Jaksch was delisted by Carlton at the end of the 2017 season.[4]
Player profile
Jaksch was known as a key position player who could play either in the forward line or as a key defender.[3] He started his career as a forward, but began to also play as a defender when he was playing in the TAC Cup, showing versatility which helped him to get drafted as a first round pick. He was also a strong mark overhead.[1]
