Stats
Bio
A local recruit from Port CYMS, Ted Wildie served a diligent apprenticeship in the seconds—including an appearance in the 1927 reserves Grand Final loss to Carlton—before earning his senior breakthrough with South Melbourne. He debuted midway through the 1929 season and immediately established himself in the backline, retaining his place for the final 11 games of the year. Operating primarily as a back pocket, Wildie was noted for his defensive dash and ability to rebound from deep in defence. Despite this promising stint in the senior side, he returned to the reserves the following season and did not add to his VFL game tally.
