Farren Ray (born 23 March 1986) is a former professionalAustralian rules footballer who played for theWestern Bulldogs,St Kilda Football Club andNorth Melbourne Football Club in theAustralian Football League (AFL).

Playing career

[edit]

Career with Western Bulldogs (2004–2008)

[edit]

Ray was recruited fromPeel Thunder with the fourth pick in the2003 AFL Draft. He debuted in 2004, playing seven games. He then played 14 games in the 2005 season followed by 21 in the 2006 season. At the end of 2006 he played his first two finals matches, in the first he gathered his highest possession count for the season with 27 touches.

Ray left the Western Bulldogs at the end of the 2008 season to look for opportunities elsewhere. He feared there could be limited opportunities at the club and was disappointed to be dropped after the qualifying final loss to Hawthorn. He has said that he had to move to give himself the opportunity to become a regular senior footballer. There were question marks on his decision making and willingness to strongly contest the ball. During the 2008 trade week he was traded along with the Round 3 draft pick, number 48 overall, to St Kilda for their Round 2 pick, number 31 overall.

St Kilda (2009–2015)

[edit]

After a trade to the Saints which involved the swapping of selection 31 (Jordan Roughead) for selection 48 (Nicholas Heyne), most expected Ray to be a fringe player who could add some handy depth to the side. But he exceeded all expectations, playing in all of the Saints' 22 home and away games plus all finals in his first season at the club. He was only one of two players at the Saints to do so, the other being defenderJason Blake.

Ray was a valuable contributor for the Saints throughout 2009. His first match against his previous club was successful, gaining 31 disposals and 11 marks and probably only shaded for best on ground honours by teammateBrendon Goddard in the Saints' 28 point win.[1]

Ray played in 22 of 22 matches in the 2009 home and away rounds in which St Kilda qualified in first position for the finals series, winning the club’sthird minor premiership.[2]

St Kilda qualified for the2009 AFL Grand Final after qualifying and preliminary finals wins. Ray played in the grand final in which St Kilda were defeated by 12 points.

Ray played 25 games in 2010, including four finals matches. As of the end of the 2010 season, he had played in 10 finals series matches including three grand finals.

Ray was delisted in October 2015, however St Kilda stated that he might be redrafted in the2016 rookie draft if available.[3]

North Melbourne (2016)

[edit]

Ray was recruited byNorth Melbourne in the 2016 rookie draft.[4] He retired at the end of the 2016 season after just four games with North Melbourne.[5]
