Jamison was invited to train with the [Carlton Football Club](/source/Carlton_Football_Club) in the 2006/07 offseason, presumably on advice from Carlton assistant coach and outgoing Roosters head coach [Gavin Crosisca](/source/Gavin_Crosisca). Carlton then selected Jamison as a rookie with their second selection in the [2007 AFL rookie draft](/source/2006_AFL_draft) (17th pick overall).[http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24795599-5016140,00.html Carlton's Michael Jamison grateful for rookie call] As a rookie, Jamison began the 2007 season playing with Carlton's {{VFL-affiliate}}, the [Northern Bullants](/source/Northern_Bullants).

Throughout the season, he played primarily on the opposition's best leading forward, often due to injuries to other key defenders.[http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/young-blues-fiery-baptism-to-continue/story-e6frg1yc-1111115912146 Michael Jamison's baptism of fire to continue] In Round 8, he kept [Daniel Bradshaw](/source/Daniel_Bradshaw) of the [Brisbane Lions](/source/Brisbane_Lions) goalless (who was second in the running for the Coleman Medal at the time), before injuring his shoulder late in the game. Jamison played a total of sixteen games throughout the season, missing six through his shoulder injuries; he routinely tapes his shoulders for games.[http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/walkers-season-over-but-jamison-gets-better-news-20091124-j3ro.html Walker's season over, but Jamison gets better news] At the end of 2008, Jamison was officially elevated to the senior list. In 2009, he continued to be a key member of Carlton's defence, before suffering a groin injury and missing the last month of the season.[http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/michael-jamisons-season-may-be-over/story-e6freck3-1225757851041 Michael Jamison's season may be over] In 2010, Jamison was elevated to the club's leadership group, after playing only 34 games, and captained the side in [Chris Judd](/source/Chris_Judd)'s absence in his 37th game, in Round 3 2010 against Essendon.

Jamison had a breakthrough season in 2011, becoming proficient as both a defensive stopper and as a damaging rebounder.
