Do these player updates from over last few days need to go on the spreadsheet ? Or is AFL aware ?Alby Yeo, 5 games for Ess in 1958, Glenelg & West Adelaide before that, is listed as being born on 6 November 1933 everywhere, but was almost certainly actually born in 1929.
This list in 1953 has him aged 23.
FindaGrave also lists him as being born on 6/11/1929.
And his death on 10 June 2014 hasn't seemed to be recorded anywhere.

I think they need to go on the spreadsheet. I don't think the AFL knows, as they weren't in the season guide obituary lists - so they didn't know at the time.Do these player updates from over last few days need to go on the spreadsheet ? Or is AFL aware ?

Peter Yeo's Uncle
Also played for Sandy Bay
Ben Sinclair
And this Ben Sinclair's grandfather could be Dave who won b+F for Sturt in 1948
NoDoes Dave have a Wiki or AF entry?
Yes they are. Mentioned, along with Sinclair, in this Riverland Weekly article. Not exactly clear if Dave is the grandfather though. Does mention Ben's mum as Pru, so you might want to look for Dave's death notice too.With this Yeosness, AF has David as being the father of Peter.
Could Alby and David be brothers?
Are you looking for a Sinclair or a Yeo?Just had a squiz and couldn’t find both David’s
When home, I’ll do a better search.
Found him. Moved to Queensland.53 *James "Jim" Francis Kirby b:21/12/1922 NthM 1946
Any known family link to Elliot Yeo?And that Yeosness is indeed remarkable.

Having a look this morning and I have a concern
If we accept Alan Joseph McDonald is born 1918 ( and we do )
McDONALD Alan Joseph Birth
<Unknown Family Name>, Mary Agnes CANTWELL
<Unknown Family Name>, Howard Seaver
YARRAM 1918 24161/1918
AF has Jim McDonald born in 1916 - yet there is no matching record of a James/Jim McDonald born to the above couple.
But we then find
MCDONALD Wm David Birth
<Unknown Family Name>, Mary Agnes CANTWELL
<Unknown Family Name>, Howard Seaver
YARRAM YARRAM 1916 25868/1916
Looking at his War service record
And AF lists James Kenneth as 24 June 1916
Name MCDONALD, WILLIAM DAVID Service Australian Army Service Number VX90923 (V39732) Date of Birth 05 Jun 1916 Place of Birth YARRAM, VIC
ie the birth date for Jim must be different . I am happy ( for now) to concede a birth after 1920 for Jim
Added: I do think the DOB is wrong - I do agree the relationship still exists
View attachment 848265
In the notice for Howard Sievers ( in Birth notice as Seaver) we have Donald , James , Mary, William and Alan
If we use these names we find this
MCDONALD Jas Wm Birth
