Stats
Bio
Hailing from Mortlake in Victoria’s Western District, Ray Anderson was a tall recruit who arrived at the Lake Oval to bolster South Melbourne’s big man stocks in the late 1960s. Standing 191cm, a significant height for the era, he was utilised primarily as a ruckman who could drift forward, evidenced by his ability to pinch-hit in the followers division and snag the occasional goal. Despite his physical attributes, Anderson struggled to cement a regular senior spot in the Swans' lineup, largely serving as depth for the club's established talls. He managed just nine games across two seasons before departing the VFL scene at the conclusion of the 1969 season.
