Early life

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 Scorpions 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]
