Billy Brownless looked sharp on Thursday night, and his girlfriend, Crystle Fleur, also looked fantastic.
Former AFL star, who revealed his relationship with Crystle a year ago, was at the Geelong Cats Awards Night held at Crown Palladium in Melbourne with the striking blonde beauty.
The mother-of-three looked radiant in a champagne-coloured gown.
The $950 dress from Scanlan Theodore had a fitted waist and a long, flowing skirt that resembled a princess gown.
She paired the stunning dress with a white Michael Kors handbag and matching white strappy heels.
Her long, blonde hair cascaded in waves around her shoulders, and she beamed with a big smile while standing with her partner.
Meanwhile, the former Geelong Cats star suited up in navy blue for the occasion.
The 58-year-old coordinated his outfit with his girlfriend, choosing a champagne-coloured tie, and completed the look with brown leather boots. He put his arm around her as they posed for a photo.
Bailey Smith was also at the awards night. He arrived quietly, which was a change after spending the last month in the spotlight – and dealing with the controversy surrounding the Mad Monday scandal.
As a huge AFL fan, I was really disappointed to see the celebrations after the grand final go a bit wrong. After the loss, the team had their usual Mad Monday festivities, but things took a turn when Smith posted something online referencing Brokeback Mountain, and included Patrick Dangerfield in the post. It just felt really inappropriate and caused a lot of controversy, honestly.
The post drew heavy criticism, sparking backlash across the AFL community.
Smith also made fun of journalist Caroline Wilson by complimenting a teammate’s costume that was based on her, and then quickly removed the post.
Media figures called the behaviour disrespectful, especially in the wake of the season’s end.
The club subsequently apologized, cancelled its current version of Mad Monday, and pledged to examine its player standards for improvements. They promised a review of these standards to prevent similar issues in the future.
Smith caused a stir at the All-Australian awards by wearing New Balance ‘snoafers’. Geelong’s CEO even asked him to change into RM Williams suede boots.
Oh my gosh, he was *the* centre of attention at the Brownlow Medal Awards! Seriously, everyone was talking about those amazing ‘speed dealer’ sunglasses he wore that night. I mean, those sunglasses! I’ve been searching everywhere to find a pair just like them. It was such an iconic moment, and those sunglasses just *completed* the look. He just owns everything he wears, doesn’t he?
For this event, Smith opted for a very straightforward and simple look at Crown Palladium during the Carji Greeves Medal awards night.
Smith arrived at the event dressed entirely in black, without any sunglasses, unusual shoes, fashion accessories, or even a tie.
Okay, seriously, I was scouring social media, expecting some drama, but there was *nothing*! Then Smith posted this amazing video, and I almost died! He tagged Tom Atkins and Mark Blicavs – can you believe it?! – with the caption ‘two of the best’. Two of the best! It’s just… everything. I’m officially losing it over this. They’re clearly his favorites, and honestly, same. It’s so sweet!
He also took a picture with Max Holmes and injured player Jeremy Cameron, writing ‘humbled to be alongside these lads’ with a ❤️ emoji.
Holmes claimed his second-straight Carji Greeves Medal after another standout season for Geelong.
He polled 175 votes, with Smith finishing runner-up on 155 and Jeremy Cameron third on 145.
As a lifestyle expert who follows the AFL closely, let me tell you, Holmes had an incredible 2025 season! He was a constant presence on the field, playing every single game and consistently earning votes from fans. The coaches clearly recognized his talent too, naming him best on ground five times throughout the year. Statistically, he really shone – averaging a personal best of 26.9 disposals per game, and leading the entire AFL in inside 50s. It was a truly standout performance!
Smith had an outstanding debut season with the Cats, topping the AFL with an average of 31.3 disposals per game. He also placed third in the prestigious Brownlow Medal count and earned his first All Australian selection.
Cameron had a career year, kicking a personal best of 88 goals. This achievement earned him his second Coleman Medal and his fifth selection in the All Australian team, where he served as captain of the 2025 squad.
Atkins and Blicavs were joint winners of the Tom Harley Best Club Person award.
Connor O’Sullivan was recognised as Best Young Player after a breakout defensive season.
The night also farewelled Mitch Duncan, who retired after 305 games and two premierships.
