Stats
Bio
Recruited from Chelsea, Keith Fraser was a sturdy ruckman and forward who maximised a brief VFL tenure to become a dual premiership player. Standing 183cm, he was a powerful aerialist and physical presence who typically rotated between the ruck and the forward pocket, though he was occasionally known for a wayward boot. Fraser played a crucial role in Collingwood's 1935 flag triumph but is best remembered for his tactical assignment in the 1936 Grand Final, where the big man was unexpectedly deployed to shut down South Melbourne's rovers. His league career effectively ended on the premiership dais, as a promotion within the Postal Department saw him transferred to Tasmania shortly after the win, denying the Magpies his services in his prime.
