Originally recruited from the Essendon Baptists St John's club (which has since merged with Ascot Vale Presbyterians to become the Tullamarine Football Club) in the Essendon District Football League, Fraser mainly played at centre half-forward. He won the Essendon Football Club's Best First-Year Player award in 1958 and went on to play in two premiership teams, with the second premiership as captain. He also won two club Best and Fairest awards and represented Victoria on many occasions.[1] In 2001, Fraser was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.[2] In 2002, he was ranked 7th in the Champions of Essendon list.[3]

Fraser was also Principal of Templestowe Secondary College in Lower Templestowe, Victoria, Australia, for many years. His son, Mark, also played for Essendon.
