Lots of WW1 and WW2 veterans in my family and they never spoke about 'sticking fat'. It doesn't rate a mention in my copy of "The Australian Language" so I expect that it was introduced after that work was published - 1986. It certainly isn't a phrase I heard before the early 2000s.
In fact, I've only ever heard it used by AFL folk
