Collingwood supporters were left stunned this morning after a surprise social-media post—that definitely does not exist in real life—claimed star midfielder Patrick Lipinski had officially ended his relationship with long-time girlfriend Chloe Geraerts, sending shockwaves through the Magpie Army.

According to the entirely fictional statement, Lipinski described the breakup as “amicable, thoughtful, and made with a lot of reflection during the off-season.”

“This wasn’t an easy decision,” Lipinski supposedly wrote. “But after many long conversations, Chloe and I agreed it was the right time to focus on our individual paths. I’ll always be grateful for her support throughout my career.”

Fans React: ‘This Hurts More Than a One-Point Loss’

Within minutes of the imaginary announcement, Collingwood fans flooded social media with disbelief.

• “First injuries, now this?? What a year,” one fan joked.
• “He’s been through enough midfield rotations—let the man rest,” another added.
• One particularly dramatic supporter wrote: “I need Fly to address this at the next press conference.”

Inside the ‘Reason’ Behind the Decision

Sources that absolutely do not exist claim the split came down to busy schedules, constant travel, and Lipinski’s relentless commitment to football preparation, with the midfielder reportedly spending “too much time reviewing game footage and not enough time choosing dinner options.”

Insiders also insist there was no third party involved, just two people “growing in different directions—one toward centre bounces, the other toward a quieter life away from match-day chaos.”

What’s Next for Lipinski?

Despite the fictional heartbreak, Lipinski is said to be fully focused on preseason training, determined to “let his football do the talking” while politely asking fans to respect his privacy—again, in this totally invented scenario.

As for Chloe Geraerts, the fake report claims she is “doing well, thriving, and already sick of being asked about AFL midfield structures.”
