Stats
Bio
A standout recruit from the amateur leagues, Bray joined St Kilda from Ormond, where he had captained the club for three consecutive years. He was blooded late in the 1940 season as the Saints experimented with their list, but his rugged style saw him suspended for four weeks following a striking charge against Carlton in just his third senior game. He returned to play a full season in 1941, proving to be a handy avenue to goal by booting 18 majors across 14 matches. His promising VFL tenure was cut short by military service during the Second World War, after which he opted to return to Ormond to finish his career rather than resume at the elite level.
