Stats
Bio
Recruited from Nar Nar Goon in the Gippsland region, Bob Andrews was a diminutive rover and forward pocket who displayed a sharp eye for goal during his brief VFL career. Standing just 170cm, Andrews relied on his crumbing ability and ground-level smarts to impact the scoreboard, making an immediate impression by booting 10 goals in his debut 1962 season from just six matches. Despite maintaining a high strike rate of 1.5 goals per game—a respectable return for a small forward of that era—he struggled to secure a permanent place in the North Melbourne lineup. He added only four senior appearances in 1963 before departing Arden Street, leaving behind a record of efficiency in front of the sticks despite his limited opportunities.
