Olympic swimming gold medallist Kyle Chalmers wants to play AFL (Herald-Sun)

[one-eyed]

Olympic swim champion Kyle Chalmers wants to become an AFL footballer.

It’s been a dream of his for a while now but the 100m freestyle king is set to lace up the boots sooner rather than later.

In an interview which appears in Stellar magazine Sunday he has made it clear that he will most likely have a tilt at playing AFL after he has another shot at Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2020.

For Chalmers playing AFL would be fulfilling a childhood dream and emulating his dad Brett, who played 75 games for Port Power and Adelaide Crows.

IIRC, we picked his father in an early draft but he refused to come over to us.
