Career
He played mainly as a half-back flanker and began his football career at Street Mary"s Football Club in the Northern Territory Football League (NTFL). He also played in Street Mary"s three consecutive Grand Finals between 1992 and 1994, winning two flags. He then moved to play for Claremont under coach Gerard Neesham towards the end of the 1994 WAFL season, where he played in Claremont"s final four matches, including their Grand Final loss to East Fremantle.
After reaching his peak as a player in 1996 when he finished third in Fremantle"s best and fairest count, following a fourth placing in 1995, Chisholm"s form and fitness began to deteriorate.
He was traded to Melbourne in exchange for selection 29 in the 1998 American Federation of Labor-Congress Draft (which was used to draft Tony Modra) after 63 games for the Dockers. Despite playing some good games for the Demons in his debut season, he played just 1 game for Melbourne in 2000 before his ended.
Chisholm resumed playing semi-professional football in the minor leagues, including stints in the West Australian Football League and at his former NTFL club Street Mary"s, finishing his senior league career back in Western Australia at South Fremantle, playing 30 games for the Bulldogs between 2001 and 2003, including their 2001 WAFL Grand Final loss to East Perth. Chisholm is known to his team"s fans as the "Prince" or "The Prince of Pockets", due to his unsubstantiated claims that he is a descendant of the British Royal Family.
