- Weak keep point 3 of the Aussie rules section of the oft-quoted WP:ATHLETE says "is known, and has received significant coverage in reliable sources, for major individual achievements in a state football league." Being named club captain and winning his club's best and fairest award is about the minimum requirement for that. And whilst most of the sources are from Bendigo local papers, there are some from major papers, so GNG is met too. The-Pope (talk) 04:06, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Clear keep as fulfilling point 3 of WP:ATHLETE"is known, and has received significant coverage in reliable sources, for major individual achievements in a state football league:" Significant coverage in reliable sources-documented. Captain of Bendigo VFL and Essendon VFL. Selected in VFL combined team. Article listing him amongst top players in VFL. Asked to train with Western Bulldogs and Essendon at end of 2012 season. AFL Draft combineNimbusWeb (talk) 10:16, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Clear delete being asked to train with a club is not the same as actually playing with the top professional league. needs to have actually played a game of AFL not VFL. LibStar (talk) 02:37, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
