In the Recent Deaths thread there are a list of players mentioned and I looked at a few and came across this (and he was alive May 2023 )

Anyone have any supporting evidence - or wants to look for it? Unfortunately as he mentiones another player was credited in the paper so I'm not sure how it can be checked

Officially, Norm Maginness did not kick a single goal in his 64 games. However, Maginness claims that he did indeed kick a goal at the Punt Road end of the MCG in a clash with Melbourne. He is not sure of which season it was but remembers being disappointed with the newspapers for incorrectly crediting his goal to a teammate.

Maginness played three times against Melbourne at MCG

31 July 1954 - Round 14 Trove newspapers has wide-ranging coverage of the match. When checked I couldn't see any likely ref to the "missing" goal.

AFL Tables - Melbourne v Hawthorn - Sat, 31-Jul-1954 2:15 PM - Match Stats

Trove doesn't have these other two matches yet due to copyright date restriction, so it'll have to be the "old-fashioned" trip to State Library and check microfilm.
Will be a while before I get over there, so perhaps one of the locals could visit in next few weeks and see if anything shows up ?

The Age report is available for the Rd 15 match, couldn't find a full report on the Prelim. Nothing about Maginness in either though.
