Non-notable sportsperson. The article has been marked as a hoax, which it may not strictly be; however, I was unable to find any Ghits at all for someone of this name related to Australian Rules football. The two towns named in his career, Churchill, Victoria and Ariah Park, New South Wales, have populations of only 4,500 and 460 respectively, and do not appear to have football teams that are in themselves notable. There are no backward links to this article, apart from an unrelated 19th-century Bruce Chalmers. &mdash; BillC talk 16:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete If it's a hoax, it surely needs to be deleted; if all this is real, he's a nonnotable sportsperson. Nyttend (talk) 17:51, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete May not be a hoax but someone who has only played Australian Rules on a local level but it fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:BLP and has no reliable sources. Bidgee (talk)
 * Delete. Local football competitions convey no notability. WWGB (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The infobox claims he played three games for Richmond Football Club in76-77. Jim Main's Encyclopedia of League Footballers does not list him, however. -- Mattinbgn\talk 04:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
