Stats
Bio
Recruited from Pakenham, Ray Jackson was a solidly built tall player who earned a regular spot in the North Melbourne lineup during the early 1930s. Standing 184cm, he possessed the size of a key position player for that era and was primarily utilised in a defensive capacity or as a follower, booting just two goals across his career. He walked into a struggling side that claimed the wooden spoon in his debut season, yet Jackson proved to be a durable contributor, missing very few matches over his two-year tenure. While his time at the top level was brief, restricted to the 1931 and 1932 seasons, he served as a reliable big man for the club during a bleak competitive period before departing the VFL scene.
