Dual Glenelg Best & Fairest Adam Fisher has retired from the SANFL, due to ongoing knee injuries. An obvious blow to the Bays for season 2010.

His leadership and ball winning ability will be sadly missed by the Tigers no doubt, but nonetheless, well done to 'Fish' on a great SANFL career.

Adam Fisher in action for Glenelg

GLENELG midfielder Adam Fisher has retired from SANFL football - less than a fortnight after winning the club’s best and fairest award.

Fisher was recruited from the Melbourne Football Club and played 92 League games with Glenelg, winning two best-and-fairests and serving as vice captain from 2006-2008. He also played state football in 2006 and 2007.

Tigers coach Mark Mickan said Fisher had been a ‘’wonderful contributor’’ to the club’s rise up the SANFL ladder.

‘’He is a natural leader who has set extremely high standards of professionalism in his quest for team success,’’ Mickans aid.

‘’His two best and fairest wins are indicative of his football ability. The respect Adam is afforded by the whole football community is indicative of his character.’’

Congrats to a terrific player and club man. A genuine all round good bloke. 25 is damn young.

Cranston to Fisher.. a massive reason for Glenelg's rise to the top... and now with both seemingly gone it's interesting times ahead for the GFC. 2 tremendously loyal and courageous men.

Well done fish, always gave 100%, will be missed and has been a huge part of our resurgence....fortuantely from a club perspective the midfield is one area we can cover adequately IMO

lovely bloke, great player who gave his all, enjoy life after footy fish......i wonder if any other big names will hang up the boots, big talk cranston is going home & he is another top bloke who gave his all for the club just as fish has..well done to both & enjoy retirement

Very good player. One of my favourites to watch.

Well played Fish. Only 25 too.

Hopefully see Fish up on the hill in the future having a beer.....
