Career highlights

Sam Jacobs (born 10 April 1988 in Adelaide, South Australia) is an Australian rules footballer who has been on the Carlton Football Club rookie list in the Australian Football League since 2007. He attended Ardrossan Area School and lived with his parents Corrie and John, and his older brother Aaron.

Jacobs was selected by Carlton with its first-round selection in the 2007 AFL rookie draft (1st pick overall). At only eighteen years old, Jacobs was noted for his size (199cm tall and 101kg). He had played as a ruckman at the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles in the SANFL, playing as back-up ruckman in 13 senior games in 2006. As a rookie-listed player, he played for Carlton's VFL affiliate, the Northern Bullants, for the whole 2007 and 2008 seasons. Carlton retained Jacobs as a rookie in 2009; since rookie contracts are limited to two years, Carlton was forced to delist Jacobs, then redraft him, which they did with their sixth pick (#76 overall) in the 2009 AFL rookie draft. Jacobs made his first appearance in Carlton colours in the 2009 NAB Cup, and was made a nominated rookie for the 2009 season, making his debut in the first round. He played only four games before succumbing to plantar fasciitis, causing him to miss most of the season. He returned from injury late in the year, finishing the season with the Northern Bullants, his ruckwork instrumental in getting the Bullants into the grand final, which they lost.

After three years as a rookie, Jacobs was promoted to the senior list at the end of the 2009 season.[1]
