Re: Mediocre Players with Cult Status
Chris (??) Fidler...
Long sleeves, No 36, lots of blonde hair....always seemed to play well in the 2's
at Moorabbin, prior to the big game.
Maybe I just remember him because of the hair...
Greg Packham was a crowd fav....he was very small...that small he'd be burnt today !

Good list but definitely don't agree with Russell Morris and Craig Davenport I IMO they were really good players with us. Could think of heaps before them.

Jon Riggs (who was a sprinter from Burnie I think)
Filthy Phil Cronan
Andrew "Jobbers" Jobling
John "Beany" Bennett
Peter Melesso

Jeff Fehring is remembered best for "that kick", he was a farmer from thet mallee I may have taken his own life when tough times hit the land. Mordy Bromberg is a Federal Court judge I think.

Won the "King of the Mountain" run in Wycheproof, three times. It involved carrying a sack of grain up to the peak which was about 600 metres high, IIRC. Great at carrying wheat bags up mountains. Not so great at paying football! More's the pity. Saw him play in a reserves game, but I don't think he ever played senior footy.avid wrote:DAX

My bad. Mt. Wycheproof is only 43 metres in height. Smallest mountain in Australia. The race itself is about a kilometre in length.

Didn't see this when you first posted it Avid. Glad it's been bumped. I laughed. Excellent effort to remember all those players. Must be a genuiune die hard Saints man with lots of Moorabbin afternoons under your belt to have that info stored in your head.

Re: Mediocre Players with Cult Status
Russell Jeffries, Glen Middlemiss, Robert " Scratcher " Neal, Neil Mcleod (from Fitzroy) Bradley Gotch, David Winbanks, Dean Herbert all found their football career continuing thanks to our lack of success and desperation to win back in the day. Thank god our current systems don't allow for these scenarios to occur as often. Having said that it was fun at the time.
