I don't think every person who ever appeared in any professional sports match is, by that fact alone, notable. There's nothing to distinguish this one. I'm not marking it for speedy deletion because the guideline specifically for Australian football is pretty low.

Keep as per the long and well established consensus that playing in the highest level of a sport is notable.
WT:NSPORTS is the place to argue against it if you don't like it. And if you don't pass NOT (any particular part of NOT, or just the vibe of it?), then is that a double negative meaning it IS suitable for inclusion?

I'm commenting here to repeat that there is no such consensus regarding
WT:NSPORTS and notability. In fact, the pages specifically say that no consensus has been reached. They also say that the criteria that someone played in an Australian football game does not mean that the page must be kept as notable.

Keep. Passes the notability guidelines for Aussie Rules footballers set out at
WP:NAFL. Since he played in the 40's there's unlikely to be a plethora of online sources, but there is a reference given that lends credence.
