alan mangels -lrb- born 29 july 1956 -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer who played with carlton and geelong in the victorian football league -lrb- vfl -rrb- .
mangels was only 10 when he signed with carlton and progressed through the juniors and under-19s before making his senior debut in 1974 .
despite playing 14 senior games in 1976 , he put in enough good performances in the reserves to win the gardiner medal .
he played finals football for carlton in 1975 and 1976 but was n't picked in the 1979 finals series where carlton won their 12th premiership .
in the opening nine rounds of the 1980 vfl season he averaged just under 20 disposals a game , a career high .
he was then put up by carlton for trade , with the club hoping to secure greg wells from melbourne as part of a swap with mangels .
the deal through when mangels informed the club that his preferred destination was geelong , which is where he would end up .
he made few senior appearances at geelong due to ankle and hamstring injuries , although he did participate in their 1981 and 1982 reserves premiership teams .
