Mediocre Players with Cult Status

[Royston]

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 !

LEGENDS ALL!!

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.

[Apples]

Darryl "The Cow" Cowie
Gary Lofts
Jeff Fehring
Mordy Bromberg
John Durnan
Ben Ingleton
Jon Riggs (who was a sprinter from Burnie I think)
Filthy Phil Cronan
Andrew "Jobbers" Jobling
John "Beany" Bennett
Peter Melesso
Glenn Brown

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.

[Harvey To Hayes]

Chris Stone's goggles.

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.

[White Winmar]

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

Pecko on a bad day

Ah, yes, good old Jobbers! Nice that someone has remembered him. Today he has a career as a motivational speaker http://www.andrewjobling.com.au/

[PADDLEPOP1001]

John Durnan I remember was hilarous at one of those pleasant Sunday morning fundraisers for the players ,he was blind ,not sure if it was the one where Jacko lit Lindsay Fox "s suit pocket and got the boot !

[White Winmar]

Jason Trianidis...

As they used to say, "We've tried everyone else, we may as well Trianidis".

[bedrock]

LEGENDS ALL!!

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.

[Trev from the Bush]

Dominic de van der Schueren

Love it, very left field.

My daughter's PE teacher.

[Con Gorozidis]

Great team Byron. Very well done.
I dont know all the players but the comments were all funny anyway.

[satchmo]

Con Gorozides. Able to hit a 70 year old teacher in the the side of the head with a stab pass from 50 metres. Always smiling.

[st.byron]

Wasn't me. It was Avid. Agree. Great team. Great post.

Very funny avid.
A bit harsh on Devo and Russell but funny nonetheless.
Ill never forget when Jimmy Edmonds turned the light off for Morris.

[Johnny Favier]

Did anyone mention Joe McLaren?

Craig Dax, was going to be our saviour.Used to win a combined Mountain Man competition that was based on stamina and strength.

[oldie60]

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.
