From the papers[]
Sydney Morning Herald[]
"Wilson, who did not even play State league football in Westeern Australia until he was 24, took care of four opponents: Barry Hall, Justin Plapp, Mark Gale and Aaron Hamill.
His strong marking and long and accurate kicking for goal resulted in majors in each quarter and combined with Phil Matera (four goals), Andrew Williams (three) and Mark Merenda (three), the Eagles' forward line was simply too potent."[1]
