Graeme Francis Anderson (6 April 1939 – 7 November 2022) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1960s.[2]
Anderson was the son of Carlton premiership winning player Frank Anderson.[3] Like his father, Anderson played as a defender, mostly on the half back flanks or at full-back.
Anderson helped Carlton reach the 1962 VFL Grand Final by taking two important marks late in the preliminary final, which they won by just five points.[4] In the Grand Final he played as a half back flanker and finished on the losing team.[5]
After playing eight games in the 1968 home and away season, Anderson finished the year in the reserves and missed out on a Carlton premiership, secured with a grand final win over Essendon.[5]
