Michael Jamison (born 11 June 1986) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Contents

Jamison is a key defender, particularly good against leading players, who has played for several years at the North Ballarat Football Club, with his under-18s football at the North Ballarat Rebels, and then reserves and seniors with the Roosters. Jamison was invited to train with the Carlton Football Club in the 2006/07 offseason, presumably on advice from Carlton assistant coach and outgoing Roosters head coach Gavin Crosisca. Carlton then selected Jamison as a rookie with their second selection in the 2007 AFL rookie draft (17th pick overall). [1]

As a rookie, Jamison began the 2007 season playing with Carlton's VFL - affiliate, the Northern Bullants. After the retirement of Anthony Koutoufides, Jamison was promoted to the senior list and made a successful senior debut against Collingwood in Round 18. [2] He began 2008 as a nominated rookie. Throughout the season, he played primarily on the opposition's best leading forward, often due to injuries to other key defenders. [3] In Round 8, he kept Daniel Bradshaw of the Brisbane Lions goalless (who was second in the running for the Coleman Medal at the time), before injuring his shoulder late in the game. Jamison played a total of sixteen games throughout the season, missing six through his shoulder injuries; he routinely tapes his shoulders for games. [4]

At the end of 2008, Jamison was officially elevated to the senior list. In 2009, he continued to be a key member of Carlton's defence, before suffering a groin injury and missing the last month of the season. [5] In 2010, Jamison was elevated to the club's leadership group, after playing only 34 games, and captained the side in Chris Judd's absence in his 37th game, in Round 3 2010 against Essendon. For the first time, he got through the season without injury, playing all 23 games, and won the Best Clubman Award for 2010. [6]

Jamison had a breakthrough season in 2011, becoming proficient as both a defensive stopper and as a damaging rebounder. He became recognised as one of the league's top defenders, and commentators at mid-season were speculating that Jamison was a front-runner for the full-back position in the All-Australian Team; however, he missed most of the second half of the season with a torn meniscus. [7]

On 8 August 2016, he announced his immediate retirement from the AFL. [8]

Jamison studied a Commerce degree during his time at Carlton. [9]

Mark Nicoski is a former Australian rules footballer who previously played with the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). From Perth, Western Australia, Nicoski first played for Subiaco in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), before being recruited by West Coast in the 2003 Rookie Draft. Promoted from the rookie list prior to the 2004 season, he made his debut for the club in round five, and became a regular in the side the following season as a half-back flanker, playing in West Coast's grand final loss to Sydney. In 2006, Nicoski fractured an ankle midway through the season, and thus missed out on playing in the club's premiership victory. Over the next seasons, shoulder and groin injuries restricted his time on the field, but in 2011 he took up a different role in the team, kicking 41 goals playing as a forward. Nicoski also represented Australia in the 2011 International Rules Series. However, after serious injuries, including a torn hamstring during the final of the 2012 pre-season tournament, he did not play at AFL level over the following two seasons. Having played 112 games for West Coast, Nicoski retired from the AFL at the end of the 2013 season.
