Glen Middlemiss

Glenn Russell Middlemiss (born 8 June 1956) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He is the son of Russell Middlemiss, a Geelong premiership player in 1951 and 1952.

Middlemiss played his early football at Geelong West in the Victorian Football Association. While playing for Geelong West, against Williamstown in 1977, Middlemiss was knocked unconscious in an accidental collision, after which he was clinically dead for two-and-a-half minutes. He made 19 appearances in 1980, two of them finals, including Geelong's four point preliminary final loss to Collingwood. His most notable performance came in round eight, when he kicked seven goals against St Kilda at Kardinia Park. He then got a two match ban for striking Mark Buckley in Collingwood's round six game against Carlton. He never made another senior appearance for St Kilda, but did continue to play in the reserves. It was while in the reserves that he was again made to appear before the tribunal, for striking Darren McAsey of the Sydney Swans. He had previously been warned by St Kilda that if he got suspended again he would be sacked, but the club was satisfied that in this instance he had been provoked.

He moved north in 1985 and began playing for Southport in the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL). In the 1985 QAFL Grand Final against Mayne, which Southport won by three points, Middlemiss kicked the winning goal, with 68 seconds remaining.
