**Alexander John Francis Way** (13 August 1925 – 7 November 2014) was an [Australian rules footballer](/source/Australian_rules_football) who played with [Carlton](/source/Carlton_Football_Club) in the [Victorian Football League](/source/Victorian_Football_League_(1897%E2%80%931989)) (VFL) during the 1940s.

Way played six games in his debut season, for 12 goals, five of them in a match against [Geelong](/source/Geelong). He was recruited from the Coburg Rangers and was a member of Carlton's 1945 premiership team.

Way, the nephew of former Carlton player [Jack Way](/source/Jack_Way), later moved to Tasmania where he played for [City](/source/South_Launceston_Football_Club) and later [Longford](/source/Longford_Football_Club) in the [Northern Tasmanian Football Association](/source/Northern_Tasmanian_Football_Association_(1886%E2%80%931986)).[1][2] He then returned to Melbourne in 1963, where he lived in the south-east suburbs until his death in November 2014.[3]
