Grantley Fielke (born 18 March 1962) was an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League (VFL/AFL) and SANFL. Fielke played at total of 364 SANFL games for the West Adelaide Football Club (club record). When he was young, he was part of West Adelaide's 1983 premiership side (who haven't won a premiership since). The highlight of his career though came in 1985, when he won the Magarey Medal. For that season, he led the league in disposals, and used the ball very effectively against tough opposition. [edit] AFL careerHe was recruited by Collingwood for the 1987 VFL season, after the Magpies looked for new talent across the border. He impressed, playing 16 games for the team in the season on the wing. Unfortantely, they couldn't see the value of him to stay at the club, and he moved back into the State based SANFL league. He played for West Adelaide for three more seasons, before being part of the inaugural Adelaide Crows side. He played 24 games for them between 1991-1992. At the end of the 1992 AFL season, Fielke's contributions were no longer needed at the club. He continued to play for Westies in the SANFL until the end of the 1997 season, when he announced his retirement from the game.
