Source-derived summary

Jamie Turner (born 12 August 1962) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Son of Collingwood premiership player Ken, Jamie would also play with the Magpies, making his debut in 1984 coming across from Montmorency. Turner established himself as a top wingman, but had the versatility to play at either end of the ground.

In 1990, Turner would add the family name to the record books, being the 21st case of father and sons in premiership teams. Turner played on until 1993, playing 160 VFL/AFL games before retiring.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jamie Turner” as australian rules footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewStrongest as a route into the people, institutions and dated events that shaped the subject’s public record. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1962, 1984, 1990, 1993—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1962-08-12. The account is most persuasive where Jamie, Turner and Australian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as australian rules footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6147578. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1962, 1984, 1990 and 1993.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
