Hi there. I have re-written the article, as you can't just copy and paste from other websites. WP:COPYVIO is a serious issue and we have to make sure that we rewrite things in our own words all the time. As you have found out, citing references is important too, especially for biographies of living people. As a general rule, it is best not to make articles on players who are yet to play in the AFL premiership season, unless there is plenty of significant coverage of them - ie not just a mention in a match report, or in a "who your club drafted" list. I hope the Buckley ariticle survives through the AFD process, but most other sports are stricter on not have articles on young players before they actually make their debut. If you have any questions, please reply here, or on my talk page. So, on behalf of WP:AFL, welcome, thank you for your contribution, and I hope you stick around to help the world know a bit more about Aussie rules!
