Doull was possibly the most popular player to play for Carlton. He was recuited from Jacana at the tender age of 19. He was a grim, dour half-back flanker, Doull did his job without the slightest fuss and was totally reliable. Doull was a safe mark, a dependable kick and a footballer who rarely - if ever - made a mistake. Doull won himself a place in the heart of Carlton fans because of his on-field honesty and toil.


Doull, shy and extremely reserved, did not give interviews and always preferred to stay in the background. However, his record was extraordinary. He won Carlton's Best & Fairest in 1974, 1977, 1980 and 1984 and played in four Carlton premiership sides - 1972, 1979, 1981 and 1982 as well as playing in the Grand Finals of 1973 and 1986.

Doull's trademark was his greying beard and the navy blue and white headband with which he kept his thinning long hair in place. He was one of football's greatest products. By the end of his career Doull had played 356 games and kicked just 22 goals over his 18-year career.
