How many different 'footy's worst-kept secrets' do you already know?

Corona virus originated on an AFL team’s end of season trip to Mexico.

Triple Brownlow medallist was not the only 60s player to follow the Peter Wherret path...

Solid bump waaaaaaaaaaaaay off the ball. Two weeks (unless AFL favourite, then fine).

I am a bit ignorant about this... I Googled Peter and it said he'd had a sex change. Is that what you are hinting at? Someone had a sex change?

My bad. I’m fairly certain he chose to live his post-tv life as a female. The triple medallist only chose to dress as a woman. Another 60s player also did the former.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

So is that why Julian and Danni split up?

Nah split up because he seen her for the first time without make up..

Peter Wherrett wrote a memoir entitled Desirelines with his brother Richard, who died in 2001.[8] The book recounted Peter's interest in cross-dressing.[8] As a child, Peter discovered their mother being abused by their father which led to an "empathy for his mother as an abused wife, and passion for women generally".[9] He later discovered his father was also a cross-dresser and consulted a psychiatrist who said that Peter's behaviour was obsessive but harmless.[9] Peter went on to write The Gender Trap which examined the "compulsive nature of cross-dressing".[9]

After Wherrett and Mathers separated in 2006, Peter went to live as a woman, Pip Wilson, at Lake Macquarie.[9] Peter lived as a woman for the last two years of his life, and described this as "my last great achievement".[10] Wherrett died in 2009 from prostate cancer.

Stewart only did dress ups and he drove off up the road with a copper hanging off the car to avoid being seen all frocked up.

Ha, with the benefit of hindsight, it's amusing reading some of the old rumours

Quite an ironic cause of death ...

Robbo being an alcoholic would be one of them.

Fyfe and Rance like men

Lot of worst kept secrets that didn't eventuate!

 

[Sainter3and7]

Fyfe and Rance like men

Even if they did, is there a problem with that?
Not for me. None of my business... or yours, I suspect.
People deserve the chance to be loved and happy, with any consenting adult.

 

[wandering123]

the coach and his girlfriend plus a wife who in turn was also seeing one of his teams players


famous couple .

dont pm me as i wont say

This became a storyline in Playing for Keeps.

My guess is the current coach of Collingwood.

[a_fighting_fury]

Fyfe and Rance like men

Nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, it gives hope and optimism to young men that these two guys may be there perfect match and life partners! ‍[emoji304]

 

[Lemma]

Aren't they both dating females?

 

[Concussion test]

Aren't they both dating females?

Good point. This rumor will look silly when they both get married to lovely young ladies. You know, like Prince Edward did.

Didn’t just like to dress up, lost a coaching gig for touching up one of the under 19’s boys in the change rooms. Was seen by a senior player and knocked out.

Why are you even implying there might be a problem? Do you have subconscious thinking it would be a problem? I just don't understand how your mind would jump to asking if there would be a problem. Of course there is no problem.

If there was a rumour posted saying Dangerfield and Sloane like women you wouldn't post saying 'is there a problem with that?'. So theres your problem, you are the problem.

I thought Dangerfield liked himself

Great idea for a thread.

a couple that stand out:

1. Peake to Geelong. Midway through '80 we all knew he was off to Vic. Bit similar to Wayne Blackwell after 81. We all knew they were leaving.
2. Dangerfield to Geelong - Yes even the Cats fans were happy watching him run around for the Crows.
3. The Footy Show gets canned. Big, huge popular show in the 90's. Suffered a long slow death. We knew the ratings.
4. Blight to St Kilda. We all knew it was 1M, we just didn't think he'd take it so fast.
5. Paddy Dow pick 3. Carlton and Silvagni basically told us. Not sure why. (yes, this was the draft Cerra went 5, Stephenson went 6 and Naughton at 9 - I guess SOS really wanted a bust this time around - pure genius).
6. Bruce leaves "Talking Footy" in 98. It was the longest farewell in TV history. We all knew, and we were all sad. Bloody Com Games.

Just to clarify, Sellars did the knocking out?

Not sure if it was that incident or another where Sellers was the intended love interest.

They can do what they like. But isn't Rance meant to be a JW? There seems to be a problem in his adherence to his religious beliefs
