Denis Strauch (24 March 1937 – 10 June 1965)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Carlton recruited Strauch, a forward, from Eaglehawk in 1957 and he made 19 appearances for them that season.[2] [3] He then found himself on the fringes of selection, only adding 10 more games over the next three years.[3]
He finished his football career at Port Melbourne, where he played until his death, from a tetanus infection, in 1965.[4]
