ANGUS Anderson has been recognised as one of the standout players in one of the country’s best Australian Rules competitions.
The former Sawtell/Toormina Saints player was named in the South Australian National Football League’s (SANFL) Team of the Year.
The midfielder was named on the interchange bench in the 22-man squad, which recognised the best players of the SANFL competition, which is regarded as one of the top four leagues in Australia.
The 22-year-old was part of the Sturt team which finished as minor premiers after only losing one game, and are currently in the middle of their finals series.
Sturt won through to this season’s grand final with a 42-point win against Glenelg, with Anderson amongst his side’s best players after having 27 disposals and seven tackles.
Anderson has averaged 19.9 disposals, 5.1 marks, 4.7 tackles, and 3.8 clearances a game in his third season for Sturt, after previously playing for the Sydney Swans in the VFL.
He also played in an AFL practice match for the Sydney Swans in 2022, after being a part of the Sydney Swans Academy.
The inside midfielder last played in the AFL North Coast competition in 2021, and was runner up in the best and fairest in 2020.
