Fiebig is one of the best, rugged, tough nut players I have seen. Not quick but goes all day.

Word is he has finally shed the poofy looking wrist guard he had now.

Similar fighting qualities to Scott Feltus in the Mid West.

You cant, its all a matter of opinion and its great to hear ppls opinions. Some have inflated opinions of players that dont deserve it and other players are not given enough credit.

I totally agree with the Feltus call. Having played against him a few times at various carnivals hes a super player. We could go on about many players and there impact on competitions but hes certainly a very very good player!!!

Played U/17s at Norwood, and U/19s and a couple of reserve games at North as an 18 year old. Was always more interested in coming back to Kersbrook and having a kick with his mates. Silky skilled player that probably lacks a bit of leg speed to make it at the next level. Will dominate Country Football for many more years.

Never played against Greg just making a point....there is a guy called ray McIntosh he has won 2 medals in the same the league..also a premiership does that make hime better..???

Its very subjective I agree..Feltus was very good when he was younger is he still serving his 69 game suspension.?? So many things to weigh up ie the comps...the era...what sort of player...all fun u would have to say Rocket Maynard is just a freak, Then there was a guy called Andrew Gardiner in Whyalla, Jackamarra domeinated a few year in Linciln...then look at the hill..

South East has had some freaks.

Fun Forum though

I Think his suspention has finished? or will this year!

Can't include Rocket as the Forum is Country Players who havn't played SANFL!

Also someone earlier said Randell Follett Langhorne Creek! He too i think played SANFL for
sturt? Unsure bout that one!

If go down that line you could include Kym Smith Victor Harbor/Robe 10 Premierships 4 Mail
Medels in 2 different leagues, also coached Victor Harbor to 2 while playn, Brother
Brenton won about 4or5 for Strath. But I know Kym played a season or 2 for Sturt!

My High School Principal won 3 Mail Medels in 4 years for Encounter Bay in the early 50's,
also represented the state in Athletics at the same time!
They said he could run like the wind & all day!
Anyone know who I'm talking about if you went to Victor Harbor High?

Seen him down the Street last week, he retired 20 yrs ago at 65 & still dosn't
look any older!

Randall Follett spent 1 season at Sturt where he played about half a dozen league games and won the Reserve Grade B&F. I think he only played about 12 games in the 2's as well.

early 2000's.

Another uncanny Football name like Nathan Brown!
