The image is broken. Anyone know how to fix it?MichaelBillington 09:20, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

• You need to upload a picture with correct copyright status at Image:Nathan Buckey.jpg. Note that pics from AFL.com.au or the Collingwood website cannot be used as they are copyrighted. Harro5

That makes it really difficult for us then... MichaelBillington 07:58, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

The part: "Buckley moved from Brisbane to Collingwood after a season with the former, leaving with the belief he more chance of winning a premiership with the Magpies. Ironically, Brisbane would beat Collingwood in two consecutive AFL Grand Finals in 2002 and 2003." needs references - do we know in concrete that that was the reason he left Brisbane?

[edit] Birthplace correction?

He was born in Adelaide, not the NT. Much was made of this fact when the 2003 Brownlow was shared between Bucks, Goodes and Ricciuto - as all were Adelaide-born.

See link: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:M2O1bPOFqw4J:afl.com.au/default.asp%3Fpg%3Daflfocus%26spg%3Ddisplay%26articleid%3D96866+nathan+buckley+%22born+adelaide%22&hl=en&gl=au&ct=clnk&cd=2 <---dead link

“I was born in Adelaide, but I spent the major part of my developing years in Darwin.”

I have corrected this. There are many inaccuracies/assumptions made in this article including him being a Collingwood supporter. I think he supported either Geelong or Kangaroos (or neither perhaps he was that focused on making VFL/AFL). Thanks for the link anonymous individual! -

BTW I think his father was some sort of bank manager or something that had to travel from state to state for some reason.

Another link says his father was a footy coach, and hence the nomadic lifestyle ROxBo 00:48, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I have uploaded an image that I believe complies with Wikipedia's strict licensing and copyright rules. Only problem is I don't know how to use it in this article.

The pic is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nathan_buckley.jpg#filelinks

I've tried putting it in but it won't work, perhaps the info box template is wrong or something? Jabso 14:03, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major contradiction

"However he spent the majority of his football developing years (aged around 10-17) in South Australia so is widely regarded as a South Australian. Also under the now defunct State of Origin competition he was eligible for The Allies, a team that was an amalgamation of players from Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania."

The most recent amendment to the State of Origin eligibility rules (1993) decreed that a player is tied to the state where he lived the longest between the ages of 10-17. Now as he is most certainly tied to NT/Allies he can't possibly have 'spent the majority of his football developing years (aged around 10-17) in South Australia so is widely regarded as a South Australian' could he?

Therefore strongly suggest this is edited.

[edit] House value...

Is the monetary value of Nathan Buckley's house relevant to the article? Is this information provided in articles on all other AFL players? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.212.68 (talk) 21:29, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birth Place

It is strange that it is impossible to find a web link on google for Bucks birthplace. What is the big mystery? ROxBo 01:06, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
