Educated at Scotch College, Melbourne, Carbarns originally played football with South Yarra in the Metropolitan League from 1912 – 1914 before enlisting to serve in World War I.[2] Upon his return he played for two seasons with St Kilda before transferring to Hawthorn (then in the Victorian Football Association).[3] He played for Hawthorn for four years, including the 1925 VFL season, their first in the VFL competition.
