Bio
Recruited from Collingullie-Ashmont in the Riverina, Jason Wild was a determined utility who squeezed every ounce of potential out of his career at Collingwood. He was thrown into the deep end immediately, making his senior debut in the famous drawn Anzac Day match of 1995, a trial by fire that set the tone for his combat-style approach to football. Often instantly recognizable by his socks worn down around his ankles, Wild became a go-to player for coach Tony Shaw, who frequently deployed him in unglamorous run-with roles to shut down dangerous opposition midfielders. While his disposal sometimes lacked polish, his defensive pressure and work rate were never in question, allowing him to rack up 70 games during a transitional era for the Magpies. He won the Joseph Wren Memorial Trophy as the best and fairest in the reserves in 1999 but was delisted at the end of that season, eventually becoming a premiership player and standout performer for Yarrawonga in the Ovens & Murray Football League.
