Stats
Bio
Recruited from Maryborough in the Victorian goldfields, Keating was a rangy key position prospect who earned his opportunity with St Kilda late in the 1945 season. Standing 185cm, he possessed significant height for the era and was likely utilized as a key defender or follower during a time when wartime player lists were often in flux. His initiation to League football was brutal, debuting in a massive 99-point defeat to Essendon at Windy Hill, yet he showed enough resilience to hold his place in the senior side for the final four matches of the year. His tenure at the top level was ultimately brief, with his VFL career limited to that single month of football before he moved on from the club.
