He was transferred to the Glenelg Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) in 1973 where he went on to play 90 games and kick 93 goals. He was also a professional sprinter where he won the 1975 Bendigo Two Thousand race.

In 1980, there was speculation he would return to the VFL and sign with South Melbourne, however, he was unable to secure a transfer from Glenelg and returned to that SA club to try and help secure a premiership with the SANFL Tigers in 1980, where he played the entire season helping to get Glenelg into the GF. Coach John Halbert dropped him the morning of the GF into the reserves in favour of an untried shorter player, Tony McInnes, debuting into the 1st’s in the GF. The 1st’s lost and the Glenelg Reserves took the flag. A bitter-sweet end to Anderson’s career with the Bays. pla
