Comment: Thank you for your efforts in creating this article. Unfortunately, I must decline this article because in its current form, it will likely be proposed for deletion if accepted. The sources in this article do not establish notability. To establish notability, there must be multiple sources that are secondary, independent, reliable, and in depth. Please remove humour lines such as "he is in part responsible for the breaking the 62 year Premiership drought". Do such sources exist? Please do not resubmit the article if these issues have not/cannot be addressed. Feel free to leave any questions you may have on my talk page. GMH Melbourne (talk) 05:34, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
