Nearly chased down Gabbo's run to the goal square in the last quarter of the 64 grand final.

Caught up with him at the 50th anniversary lunch in 2014 when he signed my team sheet from the GF Footy Record.

Fourteen out of twenty were there. Not bad after 50 years.

For those who played and those who were there we are getting to that age.

Another premiership would be nice.

Corrected date for 50th anniversary lunch. More info on lunch.

    A terrific player whose career was hampered by injury. A dasher off the half back flank but could play tall.  Guts and determination. Great to watch in his prime until injury slowed him down.

    Yes I remember him as a good reliable player

    Played half back and wore number 11 if I recall correctly 

    He was more than 'just reliable'. He and Roet and Leahy formed the best half back line in the competition. I recall a game against Geelong at Kardinia Park. The votes went 3,2 and 1 to those lads.

    Very sad news - was my favourite player from when I as a little fella with my Dad in the later part of the 60's - hence my Avatar. Ran around with No: 11 on my jumper. Been some bloody great 11's since then! Condolences to the Anderson clan.

    Sad news. One of my father's great mates. This comes as a blow.

    I seem to remember that Tony was probably the last amateur in the VFL .  As a schoolboy/uni rower i think he had ambitions to compete in the then very amateur Commonwealth Games and at least initially wished to keep that option open .

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
