Deletion of Neville Jetta

Comment: I agree that  should embrace some flexibility. That's why I would support prominent Aussie Rules 2nd tier players (eg. winners of Magarey Medal|Magerey or Sandover Medal|Sandover medals) as meeting the mark.  Another example are many SANFL or WAFL players pre 1990, before the AFL came into existence.  But simply being picked among 80 ''hopefuls'' is another matter in my view

Comment: I believe that you have misunderstood the notability criteria (and even the general, overarching  criteria), otherwise are you really meaning to say that no-one can ever be notable for playing a sport that has a professional league, but they don't play in it?  Makes AFDs nice and easy, but I don't think that sort of black and whiteness is the intention of

Comment: I'd argue that since 1990, simply playing in the SANFL, WAFL or VFL doesn't constitute notability, these leagues clearly not at the top tier of the sport, therefore problematic under .  However, there would be some who I think justify including eg. winners of the Magarey Medal or Sandover Medal.  And I would argue that going back to the 1980s and earlier, many more SANFL and WAFL players would be notable.  In those days, while the old VFL was the strongest league, it didn't imply that the best players in the other leagues would trip east to play
