Michael O'Loughlin Biography

Michael O'Loughlin is one of the most popular and richest Australian Rules Footballer who was born on February 20, 1977 in Adelaide, Australia. Michael Kevin O’Loughlin, born 20 February 1977, is an ex- professional Australian rules footballer who spent his entire Australian Football League career playing for the Sydney Swans.

O’Loughlin spent most of his youth playing in a flanker position, where his speed, strength, and agility made him difficult to match up with. In recognition of his ability to play football so well that it sometimes seemed he had “cast an spell” on his opponents, O’Loughlin was nicknamed “Magic” throughout the course of his career. He was also known as Micky O. He was Sydney’s full forward during the latter half of his career. He was the club’s top goalkicker in 2000 and 2001. In 1998, he was the club’s best and fairest. He was also the runner-up for 2000. In 1997 and 2000, he was selected for the All Australian Team. He represented South Australia on numerous occasions during State of Origin matches that were still being played. In 1998, he was awarded the Fos Williams Medal as best South Australian player.

In the 2006 Grand Final, O’Loughlin played well, kicking 3.1 (19). He continued to play consistently well for Sydney through the balance of his career.

In 2006, O’Loughlin continued to be a key part of the Swans’ line-up, including playing a decisive role in the qualifying and preliminary finals that put the Swans into the grand final for the second consecutive year. In the close qualifying Final against the West Coast Eagles at Subiaco Oval, O’Loughlin ran into an open goal, then carried on to the fence and roared into the faces of some rather stunned-looking Eagles’ fans from a few inches away. The moment is captured in Jamie Cooper’s painting the Game That Made Australia, commissioned by the AFL in 2008 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the sport.

O’Loughlin was accused of participating in the 2000 rape in Adelaide with two other AFL players, Adam Heuskes, and Peter Burgoyne. According to the woman, Burgoyne and Heuskes raped her while O’Loughlin was masturbating close to her face. O’Loughlin wasn’t charged or questioned by police, but Burgoyne was and Heuskes were both accused of rape. Paul Rofe (Director of Public Prosecutions), stated that there was no reasonable prospect of O’Loughlin being convicted on any criminal charges due to the lack of witnesses. The three men made a $200,000 cash settlement to the victim. It was brought to the attention of the public by Four Corners, an ABC investigative program in 2004.

O’Loughlin was selected in the third round 1994 National Draft. He played 12 senior games with the Swans in 1995, and received an AFL Rising Star nomination. He was also a key player for the team that won the minor premiership, before losing to North Melbourne in a grand final. He held the Swans’ games record, surpassing John Rantall’s VFL/AFL record during Round 14 of 2007 and Bill Windley’s 102-year-old overall club record in Elimination Final. Adam Goodes was his closest friend. He was the first player from Sydney Swans/South Melbourne to surpass the 300-game milestone in Round 19.

O’Loughlin was the last player to be in the team after the 1996 loss. He played well during the 2005 grand finale, scoring a number of outstanding marks. However, and uncharacteristically, his kicking for goal during the game was inaccurate.

In 2005, he was selected alongside Sydney Swans teammate and uncle Adam Goodes in the Indigenous Team of the Century. O’Loughlin was chosen in the full- forward position. He described this honor as the highlight of his career, alongside the 2005 premiership.
