Wilkie's life-changing phone call
“Clear up the desk mate, we’ve just taken you! You play for the Saints now.”
Some phone calls just change dinner plans. Others change lives forever.
Callum Wilkie was sitting at his desk in an Adelaide CBD accounting firm late on Friday afternoon, but his mind was elsewhere.
So when the intercept defender received a call from Chris Toce, St Kilda’s National Recruiting Manager (SA/WA), he was understandably overwhelmed.
“You play for the Saints now!” Toce repeated.
“I went back in on Saturday morning and cleaned out the desk,” Wilkie said.
“It was pretty surreal knowing I wouldn’t be coming back.”
