Early life

Buzza was raised in Gatton, Queensland.[1] He was drafted by Geelong with their third selection and sixty-ninth overall in the 2015 national draft.[2]

AFL career

He made his debut in the draw against Greater Western Sydney at Spotless Stadium in round fifteen of the 2017 season, where he kicked two goals.[3] Wylie welcomed being a cult hero at Geelong, provided he was not a dud cult hero.[4] He was delisted at the conclusion of the 2019 AFL season,[5] but was picked up by Port Adelaide as a delisted free agent.
