the first woman to cover Australian Rules football on a full-time
basis. Apart from her print media work she has appeared on numerous
panels type television shows on Australian Football. The nature of some
of Wilsons newspaper articles as well as her focus on mainly off-field
matters has led to her being a controversial figure amongst the fans of
the AFL competition, particularly supporters of North Melbourne and
West Coast football clubs. Wilson currently (2008) stars on Channel 9
Australia's Footy Classified on Monday nights during the AFL
(Australian Football League) season.
