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,[3] Chisholm's form and fitness began to deteriorate.
In Round 2, 1999, at Waverley Park, Peter "Spida" Everitt, playing with St Kilda at the time, racially abused Chisholm after kicking a goal.
Everitt received a $20,000 fine, a self-imposed four-match suspension, a racial awareness training program and loss of match payments.
Chisholm is known to his team's fans as the 'Prince' or 'The Prince of Pockets',[8] due to unsubstantiated claims that he is a great-grandson of King Edward VIII.
[10] Chisholm coached the South Fremantle Women's Football Club, who won the Division 2 premiership in 2009.
