Game-day meltdowns, umpire rants and boozy long lunches: Chloe Pink exposes what really goes down in the AFL WAGs group chat with THE DEBRIEF

AFL WAG Chloe Pink has revealed what really happens behind the scenes in the wives and girlfriends' group chat during nail-biting footy matches.

The 26-year-old wife of North Melbourne defender Toby Pink, 28, opened up about life inside the Kangaroos' inner circle while appearing on Daily Mail's podcast, The Debrief with Savanna Young.

And while many assume AFL WAG chats are filled with gossip and feuds, Chloe says the reality is much less scandalous.

Instead, the group chat becomes a hub of pure panic whenever games come down to the wire.

'It's normally like, "Oh my God, I'm so anxious! I feel sick!"' she said.

But when an umpiring decision goes against the team, things can get heated fast.

'It's like, "F*** these umpires! What is this call?!" and, "Oh my God, what is happening?!"' she laughed.

Chloe said the messages start flying when the Roos are under pressure, with partners venting their nerves in real time as they watch from the sidelines.

'Last week, for example, we won, but that third quarter was not looking good. The group chat was going off,' she said.

'It's all part of it.'

The influencer also added the public would be surprised to learn that many WAGs spend matches cheering, shouting and jumping out of their seats instead of quietly watching from the sidelines.

'We're a lot more passionate and louder than you'd think. Some of us, especially with loud personalities, we're yelling, we're screaming, we're like fans,' she explained.

'Not all of us, but some of us. We don't just sit there in silence and watch the game.'

'I'm screaming and yelling and out of my seat. So I think that's probably never captured. People probably don't think that that happens. But we're like fans too.'

When they're not sweating through close games, the WAGs' group chat is a lot more wholesome than many would imagine.

According to Chloe, conversations are usually centred around organising lunches, dinners and girls' trips, with the North Melbourne WAGs forming a particularly close-knit friendship group.

One of her closest friends is Courtney Darling, the wife of veteran forward Jack Darling.

'She's one of my best friends. I love her. She's a godsend,' Chloe said. 

The group recently escaped to Bali together while their AFL partners remained focused on footy commitments. 

'The boys played two games in Perth in a row, so we headed over to Bali in between,' Chloe explained.

'We just had a little girls' holiday while the boys trained.'

Chloe was also quick to shut down one of the biggest misconceptions about AFL's WAG circle, insisting the drama-fuelled rivalries outsiders expect simply don't exist. 

'All of the wives and girlfriends I know across the whole AFL, everyone is so lovely,' she said.

'I think journalists really hope that there's lots of beef between WAGs and lots of drama between WAGs, but there's actually not.'

'People always try and get the tea from me and make me want to talk bad about other WAGs.

'But we're all human.'

The influencer revealed most AFL partners get along well, comparing the dynamic to any ordinary workplace.

And while she admitted the occasional personality clash is inevitable, Chloe said stories of major feuds are largely overblown.

'Obviously there are personalities that clash, but that's typical,' she added.

'You've got 40 people in a room that you're forced to be there with.'

In short, don't expect explosive feuds or secret vendettas.
