Stats
Bio
Recruited from the fiercely competitive Port Melbourne in the VFA, Ray Landorff was a sturdy defender who made the short journey to the Lake Oval to join South Melbourne in 1959. Standing at 178cm with a solid 89kg frame, he was built for the physical contests of the backline rather than aerial athleticism, often tasked with halting opposition forwards in a lock-down role. He managed 19 senior appearances across two seasons for the Swans, providing grit in defence without ever drifting forward to trouble the scorers. Following the 1960 season, Landorff departed the VFL scene and eventually returned to his origins at "The Borough" to continue his football journey in the Association.
