Geelong Falcons Best and Fairest, 2009

Joseph Dare (born 17 October 1991),[4] is an Australian rules footballer, formerly rookie-listed at the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League.

Dare primarily plays as a tallish defender. He hails from Colac, Victoria, and joined the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup in 2009 at the age of 16, playing 22 games[5] and winning the club's Best and Fairest award.[6]

Although aged only 17 and therefore still eligible for another season of TAC Cup, Dare was recruited as a rookie by the Carlton Football Club with its second round selection in the 2010 AFL rookie draft, (No. 31 overall).[7] Dare played exclusively for Carlton's VFL-affiliate, the Northern Bullants, for two seasons, and was delisted at the end of 2011.

Dare played for Cobden in the Hampden Football League from 2012 until 2013,[8] winning the league best and fairest award, the Maskell Medal, in 2012, in a four-way tie which included his brother Levi.[9] In 2014, he moved to the Colac Football Club in the Geelong Football League.[10]
