About Graeme Wilkinson

  • Graeme "Dreams" Wilkinson (born 31 March 1938) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL). As a forward or ruckman, Wilkinson spent two seasons at Richmond after failing to make his mark with Melbourne.
  • His 21 goals in the 1960 VFL season was enough to top Richmond's goal-kicking. The next phase of his career took place in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) where he played with City-South.
  • He made a total of 204 NTFA appearances for City-South and was their 'best and fairest' winner in 1968.
  • As captain-coach during the 1960s, Wilkinson steered his club to premierships in 1962 and 1966 as well as a win over Hobart in the 1966 Tasmanian State Grand Final at York Park.
  • Wilkinson represented Tasmania at the 1966 Hobart Carnival, amongst his six interstate games. After retiring, Wilkinson was a commentator on ABC radio for the NTFA and Statewide League.
  • He has also served the NTFL as an administrator. Inducted into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame in 2007, Wilkinson has also been honoured as the captain of the official City-South 'Team of the Century'.
