2 Sept 2024 from the death notices. Full name is Christopher Wayne Duke. Funeral is on this Wed 18 Sept. Oliver G

Here's the matching grave inscription. Can't really update it on wikipedia until it's published elsewhere (hint hint Oliver G )

Just found the replay of the Hall of Fame In Memoriam tribute (hidden in an AFL360 episode S2024EP46). List of players featured. Appears to be in approximate recent to oldest death order: Tom Grljusich Ron Branton John Todd Ken Tierney (26 May 2024) John Goold John Beckwith Bill Serong Malcolm...

A Jacqueline is mentioned in the death notice too. Geoff has 2 sons, so the name would carry on.

Tom Grljusich, South Freo and Centrals, has died. 8 June 2024 from the death notice.

With Morris, unless I have missed some, or the data isn't correctly in WikiData, there have only been 3 Senior Richmond players die this year. Full list. 1965 was the deadliest year for the Tigers with 15 deaths. More recently, 2003, 2006, 2011 and 2016 each had 11 deaths. Only 2 in 2022 and 3...

John Beckwith, as announced by Melbourne FC. No specific date of death yet.

I once tried to work out Stephen Michael's games played, but night games were counted - after all they were "real" games, not pre-season back then in the 70s/80s. Sometimes State games were counted too - because sometimes they happened on a weekend when the comp didn't get a bye. The famous...

Graham Scott, a few games for St Kilda and Melbourne after many for South Freo died recently according to this notice and some messages in the South Freo Facebook group

I think Collingwood's oldest living player is now one of the 93 year olds: Dave Morgan, Ron McKenzie or Arthur Gooch, none of who we seem to have ever researched here. There are no known DODs for the almost sesquicentenarians George Lockwood and Tom Lee. Frank Corby is almost 100, but has been...

I got a reply from Dan Eddy advising that Colliver died on 19 May 2023. Oliver G

Based on that electoral roll info, parents married in 1925, mum died in 1959, dad in 1968. Interesting that Dad didn't have Ferris on his marriage or electoral roll, but does in his death notice Marriage:EVANS Nellie HUTCHINS, Mervyn 1925 10866/1925 HUTCHINS Mervyn Ferris Death notice 14AUG1968...

My oldest living (actually "no death date" than confirmed living) player lists from Wikidata, for those that prefer to work by team than league wide: North Melbourne Footscray Other teams: Carlton Collingwood * Essendon Fitzroy Geelong Hawthorn * Melbourne St Kilda South...

This is the list of known deaths of Australian footballers with Wikipedia articles from June 2023 to May 2024. This is the code to retrieve the list from WikiData. Separate lists for other years are found elsewhere in this thread: From June 2017 to May 2018 From June 2018 to May 2019 From June...

As an example, the 2 that I found years ago with "US style" birthdate mixups are Player AFL Tables DOB AustralianFootball DOB Other DOB WikiPedia/WikiData DOB Peter Warburton (footballer) (Carlton) 3 Sep 1951 3 Sep 1951 9 Mar 1951 (Blueseum) 3 Sep 1951 Frank Hodgins (Geelong) 4 May 1888 5...

The benefit of the tables is it's a bit more of a direct link to the articles. I updated most of them last night, didn't that that long. The problem with the birthdate mixups is working out which version is actually correct. Could be any of the versions in any of the sources. Often they all are...

Randomly checking from that list, I found Dick Jones, East Freo, South Melbourne, Glenelg & West Torrens, died in 2013. Ryerson & cemetery records confirm.

Forgot that page exists! All of the links to the sources should still work, so ignore the tables (or update them yourself if you know how) and just use those links.

We often hear about a player being the "oldest living premiership player" or other similar "last player alive". But I've often thought about the opposite: what is the oldest game (or team, or grand final winning team) that is still complete - all 20/21/22 players are still alive - or even...

I've updated Blain to Railton. Thanks for the list and links.

That update also added that he was born in Trieste. He doesn't seem to appear on any of the "born overseas" lists.

I started doing this exact same process a few days ago and was going to complete it and post it this weekend! Thanks for doing it for me. I'll check my notes and see if I had anything else

Oh look, the score review system was first used in 2012! :think: Long memory by Demetriou? https://www.goldcoastfc.com.au/news/770276/afl-introduces-score-review-system

Paul Sullivan, 1 game for Hawks in 1959, appears to have died on 10 February 2023. Whilst there is nothing absolutely certain, there is a video of his memorial service, that shows him blowing out his 60th birthday candles with the photo having the old printed date in the corner of 1 Oct 1997...

Thanks for that. I know the top 4 on this list are all mysteries, can you spot any that we've missed? List of oldest Collingwood players without a date of death

Anyone have access to Adelaide Advertiser obituaries? Harry Paynter, 1 game for Collingwood and father of John, doesn't have a date of death. A Harry James Paynter died in 2012 in Quorn, South Australia and was about the right age. Ryerson lists 2 notices in the Advertiser that may help if they...

I tagged de Bolfo on Twitter about Inglis & he replied that they don't believe the DOB for Jim Watson (James Hamish Watson) is correct. Any ideas?

There are mentions of him if getting a scientific officer job in government gazettes on trove (with full salary!), so it all ties together nicely. 👍

I have some uncertainty about Carlton 2 game superstar Adam Inglis' date of death. A user updated his Wikipedia page with 13 August 1971, which would mean he died age 42 (1929 birth, although he was called a 20 year old in his 1951 debut - close enough). BUT... 2 Adam Sinclair Inglis (no...

August 8 according to the cemetery record. Possibly date of death vs date of finding/recording?
