Having played just four matches for the premiership favourites this season, 33-year-old O’Keefe is stuck in the NEAFL and appears unlikely to force his way into the Swans side for the upcoming finals.
But the man who won the Norm Smith Medal when Sydney won the 2012 flag won’t have too much time on his hands come September as his hands may be otherwise occupied, with O’Keefe and wife Tara signing up as the celebrity couple helping condom manufacturer Durex promote their 30 Nights of Nookie campaign.
“Between investing so much time into their children, work and friends, the successful couple admit that they don’t give their relationship as much love as it deserves,” read the promotional material on the campaign’s website.
“Follow their journey over the month and discover how they respond to our program. See the highs, the hurdles, and the heartfelt moments captured along the way. It’s a beautiful story that shows how much closer 30 nights can bring you.”
It’s uncertain at the present time as to what the club’s response to O’Keefe’s move will be.
However, reading between the lines, it may indicate O’Keefe’s been told he’s played his last game for the club as the promotion presumably requires him to be on the job every night, something that may not be possible if he’s on the job with the Swans playing in an away final.
