Carroll was the first Carlton player since Harry Vallence to lead the VFL's goalkicking at the end of a home-and-away season, scoring 54 goals in 1961[2] and later being awarded the Coleman Medal after the medal was retrospectively given to the VFL leading goalkickers in the home-and-away season dating back to 1955.
Carroll led Carlton's goalkicking again in 1962, and played a key part in a dramatic finals campaign which involved a preliminary final draw and an infamously narrow escape in the replay against Geelong to qualify for the 1962 VFL grand final against Essendon.
Carroll had a day to forget, being held goalless as the Bombers dashed out to an early lead at quarter time and won easily.
Carroll was the leading goalkicker in the South West Football League (New South Wales) in 1964 (102) goals and 1965 (98) goals, with Ganmain Football Club.
