There is an interesting article on the AFL website about New Zealand stand-up comedian Cal Wilson's journey to becoming an Aussie Rules and the St Kilda Football Club supporter.

Wilson, originally from Christchurch on the South Island of New Zealand is co-host of the radio show "The Wrong Way Home with Akmal, Cal and Ed". She has also appeared on "SkitHouse", "Rove Live", "Thank God You're Here", "Spicks and Specks", "The Wedge" and "Dancing with the Stars".

In 2006, she did a sell out show about her distaste for New Zealand's national sport of rugby union and newfound love of footy. Her show was called "Up There, Cal Wilson".

Although her Saints didn't make the Grand Final and her favourite player Robert Harvey has since retired, and the Falcons unsuccessfully defended their International Cup title, fellow Kiwi Trent Croad, a veteran at Hawthorn finally got to show his silver fern on the premiership dias.

The article on Wilson recently appeared on the AFL website and titled "How a Kiwi comedian learned to love St Kilda".
