Nicknamed Bub because he was the baby of his family, Carlisle Jarvis was a champion centre half-back during a halcyon period for East Fremantle when it won seven premierships.  Rival players wondered how he didn’t win a Sandover Medal.  He was a spectacular aerialist in all conditions with a precise pass and a consistent, rangy clearing kick and  also clever at ground level.

East Perth’s Harry Gepp said: “I think he plays with four hands.”  Subiaco’s Tom Outridge added: “I think he plays with four hands.”  Subiaco’s Tom Outridge added: “I’d rather play against any South Australian or Victorian than I would against him.”  Educated at Fremantle Boys’ School, he also represented WA at cricket.
