Dennis Keith ("Fred") Phillis holds the Glenelg all-time goal kicking record.  Phillis is the brother of [[Wayne Phillis|Wayne "Butch" Phillis]].
 +
 
 +
Phillis was nicknamed "Fred" when his schoolmates likened him to the most famous Test cricket paceman of the day, 'Fiery Fred' Truman of Yorkshire and England. The nickname stuck and to many SANFL fans he is only known as "Fred" Phillis rather than by his birth name.
 +
"Fred" began his senior career with Glenelg in the SANFL in 1966 as a centre half back but was moved into the Centre half-forward, and later Full-forward, positions by incoming 1967 coach [[Neil Kerley]]. This lateral thinking paid off with Phillis kicking a then SANFL record of 137 goals in 1969.
-
Guernsey Number: [[1]]and [[28]]
+
He polled 18 votes in the 1969 Magarey Medal to be the first player to win the medal having played chiefly at full forward for the season.
 +
In perhaps Glenelg's most memorable non-finals game, Phillis scored 18 goals at Glenelg Oval in 1975 as part of the team's record-breaking 49 goals against Central District. Quirkily enough, in the 1973 grand final win by Glenelg over North Adelaide he failed to goal.
-
Paul Weston started his career at Glenelg in 1973, and became an inspirational leader, captaining the Bays for four seasons. Not the most spectacular player, Weston was however very cool under pressure and well skilled.
+
Phillis is the highest goal scorer in the history of the Glenelg club. This is all the more remarkable when considering that former league leading goalkickers [[Jack Owens]] (1927-1928, 1932) and [[Colin Churchett]] (1948–1951) are also Glenelg champions. Overall Phillis is third on the all time SANFL goal scoring list.
-
As with many of the talented tigers players of the era, he played in many losing Grand Finals - 1974, 1975, 1977, 1981 and 1982.  Pursued by several Victorian clubs and haunted by lack of premiership success, Weston moved to Essendon at the age of 26 in 1982.  
+
After retiring as a player Phillis continued to pursue his chosen career as an architect.
-
A centreman whilst at the Bay, Weston played primarily as a defender with Essendon.  He won premierships with Essendon in his final two VFL seasons.  
+
== Records Controversy ==
 +
"Fred" Phillis is credited by the SANFL with scoring more than 100 goals in a season on three occasions.  Glenelg records show him as having achieved this feat on five occasions (see: [[Honour Board]]).
-
Returning to South Australia following Essendon's 1985 premiership, Weston pursued coaching ambitions, taking up the position of Captain-Coach with West Torrens from 1986 to 1988 
+
Respected historian Bernard Whimpress in 1994 wrote:
 +

 +
In 1971 the SANFL recognised (for a time) Fred Phillis’s total of 102 goals because he scored three goals in a bodgie end of season knockout trophy known as the Coca-Cola Cup for teams which missed the finals.

In the league records based on premiership matches he achieved the mark three times.

He finished his football career with Norwood in 1989.

He was a South Australian State representative on 13 occasions and won a Fos Williams Medal (Best on Ground in State matches) in 1982 for his performance against Western Australia at Football Park.

Nickname: Fred


Dennis Keith ("Fred") Phillis holds the Glenelg all-time goal kicking record. Phillis is the brother of Wayne "Butch" Phillis.

Phillis was nicknamed "Fred" when his schoolmates likened him to the most famous Test cricket paceman of the day, 'Fiery Fred' Truman of Yorkshire and England. The nickname stuck and to many SANFL fans he is only known as "Fred" Phillis rather than by his birth name.

Phillis is the highest goal scorer in the history of the Glenelg club. This is all the more remarkable when considering that former league leading goalkickers Jack Owens (1927-1928, 1932) and Colin Churchett (1948–1951) are also Glenelg champions. Overall Phillis is third on the all time SANFL goal scoring list.

After retiring as a player Phillis continued to pursue his chosen career as an architect.

Records Controversy

"Fred" Phillis is credited by the SANFL with scoring more than 100 goals in a season on three occasions. Glenelg records show him as having achieved this feat on five occasions (see: Honour Board).

Respected historian Bernard Whimpress in 1994 wrote:
