Peter Helliar AFL

Helliar invented an alter persona titled Bryan Strauchan (aka “Strauchanie”) for the 2005 AFL season, which debuted on the television show Before the Game. The character was purportedly the last pick in the 2004 AFL national draft, although he never played for his new club, Collingwood. His given name is (Strawn/Strawny).

Helliar dons a blonde mullet wig for the part and strives to play up an Australian bogan stereotype. The comedy is delivered through self-deprecating humour, which places Strauchan in circumstances that show his weight, lack of fitness, and general incapacity, despite the fact that his egocentric attitude and delusions of grandeur keep him fully unconscious of these flaws. Strauchanie has made multiple following appearances in other media, as well as several appearances to support a variety of causes. Helliar hurt his ankle late in the 2009 ‘EJ Whitten Legends’ football game after being tackled. He speculated that this was the end of his career.
