He feared there could be limited opportunities at the club and was disappointed to be dropped after the qualifying final loss to Hawthorn.

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 teammate Brendon 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’s third minor premiership.

Ray was delisted in October 2015, however St Kilda stated that he might be redrafted in the 2016 rookie draft if available.
