Anderson spent three seasons at St Kilda, after arriving to the club from Hamilton.[1] He spent the 1936 season as playing coach of Oakleigh, in the Victorian Football Association.[2] Cleared to North Melbourne, Anderson kicked 18 goals in 1937, all from his opening five games of the year.[3] It was enough to see him finish as the season's leading goal-kicker for North Melbourne. His tally remains the equal lowest in the club's history to win the goal-kicking award, having been equaled by Cameron Zurhaar during the 2020 season over 80 years later.
