Favourite Glenelg Player

Postby Sojourner » Sun Aug 21, 2011 12:30 pm

Going back over the time you have been watching the SANFL, who is your most admired player from Glenelg?

For mine its Peter Carey, no real reason, I realise that he played a record number of games, and likely there were other players that played better games on various occasions, yet he was just always there in the background and a hard player to boot, it stretches my memory but his performances in Glenelgs premiership certainly got them there IMO!

Peter Marker. Tough as an old boot, a brilliant player and inspirational leader. Always wanted him at Norwood.

As a teenager it was Robbie Walter, he was of only a couple of players from my club to have played at SANFL level and the only one at the time I played juniors there.

I grew up hating Glenelg thanks to the 85 and 86 Grand Finals but I still admired David Marshall for his skills and for showing the VFL that a 30 year old SANFL player could hold his own in their competition. I also admired Kernahan and McGuiness for what they were able to do in State of Origin and Freddy for the Crows.

Of the 3, I'd vote for Marshall.
