More info on Michael Wilson
Affectionately known as 'Wilbur', Wilson was one of the talented crop of youngsters making the transition from the SANFL to the national league as part of Port Adelaide's inaugural AFL squad in 1997. Playing primarily as an onballer he immediately made an impression and took out the AFL Rising Star award as the league's best young prospect in his debut season. From 1998-onwards Wilson has played primarily as a medium-sized defender rotating through the midfield on occasion.
With a pair of SANFL Premiership Medallions already in his keeping by age 19, Wilson was able to add the AFL equivalent in 2004, capping a brilliant individual season with a sturdy performance in Port Adelaide's first AFL flag win over the thrice reigning Premiers, the Brisbane Lions. His high level of play was all the more remarkable given he had required a double shoulder reconstruction for some time.
With a tremendous work ethic and a fearless disposition on the field, Port Adelaide's Vice Captain has overcome both his shoulder problems and other serious injuries including two knee reconstructions to remain a vital part of the Power lineup a decade on.
He snapped his achilles tendon in the Powers win over the Kangaroos in the Semi Final and missed the Grand Final against Geelong.
