Timeline

1914

Marcus Joseph Whelan (27 June 1914 – 31 August 1973) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

The son of John Whelan and Ellen Margaret Whelan, née Parker, he was born in Bacchus Marsh on 27 June 1914.

1939

He married Marjorie Alice Dummett on 14 October 1939.

Whelan won the Brownlow Medal in 1939 and was also awarded Collingwood's best-and-fairest award, the Copeland Trophy.

1946

After fighting in World War II, he returned to the Victorian Football League in 1946 and retired at the end of the 1947 season.

Sports journalist Michael Roberts and former Australian rules footballer described Whelan as being "a famously cool, calm and polished performer."

1948

In 1948, he was cleared from Collingwood to play with the St Kilda Second XVIII as captain-coach.

1949

In 1949, he was appointed captain-coach of the Carrum Football Club in the Mornington Peninsula Football League.

Whelan worked at Carlton & United Breweries in Melbourne, alongside his coach Jock McHale.

1956

In 1956, Jack Dyer called Whelan one of the best centremen of his time.

“He was a spectacular player who could take a brilliant high mark and could hold his own with a ruckman,” Dyer wrote.

Fellow Collingwood player Bob Rose concurred: “He was a magnificent stab kick and could dispose of the ball perfectly while travelling at top speed.”

1967

Whelan's son Shane played for Collingwood between 1967 and 1969; and his granddaughter is the actress/television presenter Nicky Whelan.

Whelan played mostly in the midfield as a centreman, although he played some 40 games at full-back.

He was a fine, long drop-kick, and an expert place-kick.
