Back in VFL
Anderson (ankle) made his return to the field at the VFL level over the weekend against Footscray.
ANALYSIS
Anderson hasn't placed since Round 3 against the Western Bulldogs after undergoing surgery on his ankle. He'll be another option from the last-placed 'Roos, which are doing better in fantasy even if they're still struggling to win games.

Could return at VFL level

Out up to two months
Anderson could be out for up to two months after undergoing surgery on his ankle, according to GM Brady Rawlings.
ANALYSIS
Anderson had picked up this injury in Round 3 against West Coast Eagles and will be another major absence for a struggling 'Roos club. He'll hope to return by June at the latest, and will be worth keeping track of when he returns after a dominant showing with 27 disposals and 14 tackles in Round 2 against Gold Coast.

Departs with ankle complaint
Anderson was pushed to the bench in the third term of Friday's match versus Western due to an ankle injury, Mitch Cleary of the AFL's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Anderson's injury is a tough one to swallow after the midfielder displayed dominance in his first game of the season, racking up 27 disposals and 14 tackles to finish off last round north of 125 fantasy points. He managed to tally another 60 on Friday before his departure and his status will certainly be one to monitor ahead of Round 4.

Dominates in first match
Anderson logged 27 disposals (10 kicks, 17 handballs), made three marks and completed 14 tackles during Saturday's 98-39 loss to Gold Coast.
ANALYSIS
Anderson returned from a calf injury for Round 2 and was by far the best player from a 'Roos team that were again beaten by a wide margin. After recording 21 disposals per match under similar circumstances in 2020, Anderson may be the only consistent fantasy option from this team.
