Carafa represented the Fitzroy Lions in 16 games before departing at the end of the 1988 season. Recruited from Marcellin College, Bulleen having played in the winning undefeated 1984 1st XVIII team alongside Gavin Brown (footballer) and Stephen Silvagni.[1] Despite his short VFL career, Carafa, whose father is Italian, would later be listed as one of the original 148 players suggested for the Italian Team of the Century, though he did not make the final short list of 50, nor the final team.[2]
