'Banger' drafted by Collingwood - AFL North Coast
Angus Anderson becomes the first male AFL North Coast player drafted onto an AFL club’s primary list

FORMER Sawtell/Toormina player Angus Anderson has created AFL North Coast history by becoming the first male player from the region to be drafted onto the primary list of an AFL club. The 22-year-old was selected with Pick 57 in the 2025 AFL National Draft by Collingwood. Collingwood’s National Recruiting Manager Shane O’Bree said Anderson showed traits which made him attractive to the Magpies. “When you watch Angus play football, there is a lot of heart in his game,” O’Bree said. “Watching his journey as a footballer has been fulfilling.”

Anderson’s journey toward this moment has been one of perseverance. He played his junior football with the Saints and his first foray into the seniors with the North Coast Force, a member of the Northern Heat Development Program and QBE Sydney Swans Academy. Anderson first played juniors in 2011 and, as a 16-year-old in 2019, made his senior debut. In 2021 he was the captain of the Swans Academy, playing NAB League matches as well as with the Swans’ VFL team.
