Footy great Liam Picken and his wife Annie Nolan had their Melbourne home ransacked by burglars on Monday. The AFL WAG, 35, gave her 53,000 Instagram followers a tour of her home after she found it turned upside down by thieves. Images showed the smashed stained glass window in her front door and her belongings tossed and strewn all over the floor, in a hurried effort to pick out any valuables. Annie said she has lost the shoes that she wore on her wedding day, a ring which her late brother bought her for her 21st birthday, and some football memorabilia belonging to her husband, former Western Bulldogs star Liam Picken.

However, the mum-of-three was relieved to discover that her wedding ring had not been taken, nor had Liam's 2016 premiership medal. The blogger said Victorian police had instructed the family not to touch or move anything while they investigated the break in.

Annie joked that her two Chinese crested guard dogs were 'useless' in the situation. Unfortunately for Annie, that also meant her porn DVDs and collection of sex toys remained on full display amongst the belongings deemed not worth stealing. 'Don’t take those, just leave them to embarrass me, you a***holes,' she joked in her video. In another lighthearted moment, she said her two small Chinese crested dogs had failed to scare off the intruders.

'Absolutely useless, in trouble with me,' she quipped. Annie, who owns a dog grooming salon in Yarraville, told her followers the experience was shocking, but that it won't change her values. Rather than joining fellow AFL WAG Bec Judd's social media crusade for a crackdown on crime, she urged Australian leaders to do more to reduce the root causes of inequality and poverty. 'I believe there are really good people in the world, these times drive people to do things, I think it’s really f***ing sad,' said.

The AFL champ has made no secret of the impact his stellar career had on his health, declaring in 2020 he would donate his brain to science upon his death to aid future research into concussion. In documents filed with the Supreme Court of Victoria in 2023, he alleged the AFL, Bulldogs and its doctors Gary Zimmerman and Jacob Landsberger all failed in their duty of care to protect him from brain injury during his 198-game career.
