This might be true, it might not.
It was told to me by someone I trust, and therefore meets the criteria

Time line: 1986 Preseason
Geoff Raines was a bit of a party lad.
He liked a drink, and the ladies, and the ladies liked him.
Mike Richardson arrived at Collingwood on the same day in 1983, albeit in different circumstances
Richo was different. He liked training. He had a casual drink, but never went overboard.
Early into his career he met and moved in with pop star Colleen Hewett.
Raines was often injured at Collingwood.
He missed a lot of 1983, and given he was on massive money, played through it in 84 & 85.
Raines would often not train through the week, just so he could play on weekends.
Richardson, on the other hand, would train extra.
Raines somehow found his way to their place one day, while everyone else was at Collingwood preseason training.
Apparently he knew Colleen would be the only one home.
Richardson came home to find Raines’ ute out the front.
While opening the door he hears a scrambling inside.
By the time he opens the door and gets inside, Raines has collected his clothes, and is running naked down the hall way away from him.
Richo takes off after him, but Raines, with a head start, jumps over the back fence into a lane way behind the house, and gets away.
“Your ankle looks like it’s OK” he yells after him.
Richo and Colleen have a little heart to heart, and it’s decided it would be better if he sleep somewhere else that night.
They try to make a go of it, but eventually split up soon after.
Raines goes into the club and says he wants out. He thinks he needs a fresh start.
Richardson goes into the club, unbeknownst to Raines, and also requests a trade.
At the time, Collingwood needed money more than they need players.
(It was 1986, Eddie McGuire is a cadet journo at Channel 10)
Plus, while there were rumours around the club, no-one officially knows the reason why either want out.
During the R1 game v Essendon officials from both clubs discuss the possibility to trading them to the Bombers.
During the game Richardson injures his ankle.
Sheedy gets wind of it and thinks the two of them will replace Vanda & Daisy who got injured in R2 against Geelong.
While the Bombers do the physical and decide he’s worth the investment, Raines plays the next week against Sydney.
The trade goes through. Collingwood give up Raines and Richardson, Essendon give them the proceeds of the back to back premiership merchandise sales and Peter Bradbury. Raines gets withdrawn from the R3 team and fronts up to Essendon training the Monday before R4.
Both of them arrive at Essendon on the same day.
With the threat of them punching the suitcase out of each other, and with Richardson and Hewett now officially history, the two have a beer at the Social Club. Then a few more, then a few more.
They agree with the line from the Uncanny X-Men track on the radio "friends they last forever, girls just come and go".
Today they are best mates. When Richardson came to stay in Melbourne a while back to try and kick off a footy academy, he lived with Raines.

It's weird, obviously they were fairly serious if they moved in together. I've had mates who've had mates do the dirty of them, and they forgave them. If someone cut my lunch I couldn't forgive them.

Peter German was another very unpopular figure.
Long career at North Melbourne, ended up coaching Burnie in the TFL during the statewide league days.
Basically sent Burnie almost into extinction to try and land himself an AFL coaching role.
Treated the players with absolute disdain, nobody was as good as he was. Banned their under 18s from training near or using the same changerooms as the seniors. Made then upcoming AFL draftee Russell Robertson play reserves football because he didn't want kids in his team. Hated junior development.
Coached Burnie to back to back grand finals where they lost both so he walked out on them.
Ended up coaching Subi in the WAFL where he was exactly the same. Grossly unpopular figure.

Only lasted a handful of games coaching Albury this year before parting ways

 

[Craven Morehead]

Matthew Armstrong (ex Fitzroy, North) used to have the nickname "Excuses" when he was coach at the Tassie Devils VFL side.
Always took full credit when the team won, but the minute they lost he'd blame the players, the ground, the facilities, the local competitions, the weather, the media, the system, the local service station, etc etc etc. Absolute whiner and d*ckhead of the highest order.
Players got sick of him and ended up getting him sacked in the finish. Got replaced by Brendon Bolton who was equally useless and couldn't coach pigs to be dirty.
Word was when he was in the coaches box at Brisbane Lions under Leigh Matthews, Lethal couldn't cop Armstrong at all and had him removed on more than one occasion.

That'd be the same Peter German who led Subiaco to two Premierships in the WAFL.
You muppet.

So its off season, already missing football..

As the thread says, no rumours that you heard from a mate's mate partner, etc but something either you witnessed yourself or direct from someone you trust 100%...

Only one iv got is something covered to death really haha my cousin was on a footy trip in sydney, at a bar, most of the Sydney team rock up, my cousin goes to the toilet, hears some long "sniffing" in a cubicle, no one else in there, then hannebry and buddy walk out wiping their noses...no guesses...

On a side note, he did say hannebry was a w***er par excellence, parker and goodsey were top notch blokes...

CHRIS JUDD BUSTED IN A BROTHEL!!!


Just before he got married, carlton had played on the friday night... the next morning Chris went to a brothel and was immediately recognized, the girl acted like she didn't know who he was....she also said he was creepy in the room..... This was few weeks before the Brown low which he went on to win in 2010, in the end she told him she knew who he was and all he did was give her a smile! When the browlow was on tv and he won, he seemed very nervous as he probably thought about it... and was worried she would say something.

THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!! (;

Passable reference. I’d never made that connection before. It’s still no Crispin Glover / Rory Lobb though.

Looks more like this guy from road trip. Credit to the look a likes

Colleen Hewett, now 69, is 9 years older than Mike Rchardson. Hmmm, I wonder if he's glad they're no longer together.
I reckon he looks a lot better now than she does. Did someone say I should grow up? Nup, I doan wanna

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Bailey Smith was caught by his missus cheating on her with one of her friends who he's now together with apparently

Refuses to be drafted Interstate, now refuses to cheat outside his immediate friendship circle.

I'm guessing his end of season trip is to Shepparton.

Peter German was recently over in Perth at a 40th of one of his former subiaco premiership players and had a lot of his premiership team mates there as well. He spent the night drinking and chatting to them so didn't seem to be to unpopular.

Peter German is very well regarded. He's a hard taskmaster and certainly had an old-school approach when he was a VFL coach, but he's not unpopular.

Although I chatted once to someone who played cricket and footy with him at Oak Park. He like German, but was amused that he is so hard on his players and so demanding of their commitment to the hard ball, because this bloke didn't think that was Peter's strength as a player.

It would depend on the mate, surely.

Bailey Smith is 18. No 18 year old has a “Missus”. Get with the program Buddy!

 

[freddy mercury]

A former premiership winning player, who subsequently was an innovative coach at a few clubs, used to bash his wife (now ex).

Use names mate, it's not a guessing game.

This is a short but sweet one.

Though born in Tasmania, Bradley Plain grew up in Heidelberg.
He was tied to Collingwood, but didn't make the U19s team.
(Which to be fair, was a pretty strong side back in those days; Gavin Brown, Mick McGuane, Damien Monkhurst, Gavin Crosisca, Jason Croall & Neil Brindley all went on to play seniors)
He went and played State League level in Tasmania, and is thought of as a Tasmanian recruit.
While in Tassie, away from mum & dad, he got a tattoo on his left arm.
He wore Long Sleeve jumpers, even in warm weather because he didn't want his mum to know he had got a tattoo.
