Harry Dean Biography

Harry Dean makes his AFL debut for Carlton at the SCG with 14 disposals (7 kicks and 7 handballs), a mark and 2 tackles in a 63-point loss to Sydney.

Carlton select Harry Dean with pick No.3 in the 2025 National Draft.

Draft Profile: Dean is as highly rated as any key defender to come through the draft in the past five years. He's a competitor, first and foremost, and enjoys shutting down opposition forwards having been a defender through his whole junior career. Dean, whose father Peter played in two flags with Carlton, was named the All-Australian centre-half back after his carnival with Vic Country and his ability to read the ball in the air and get in a spoil when it looks out of reach is a real quality. He didn't test at the Combine after having a clean-up of his shoulder injury from last year.

Peter Dean will present his son, Harry Dean, with a Blues guernsey when the teenager is picked up at the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.

Harry, a tall defender, is expected to be drafted as a father-son selection as early as pick 3 in the first round of the draft.
