AFL star's pregnant wife hits back at trolls who criticise WAGs walking the red carpet at Brownlow Medal

As a dedicated follower of the AFL world and a woman who has walked the red carpet myself, I wholeheartedly support Alexandra Merrett’s stand against the cruel trolls. It takes more than two weeks to pull together an outfit that shines on the Brownlow red carpet. The pressure is immense, and it’s not just about the glitz and glamour – it’s about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin.


In response to unkind internet users mocking AFL (Australian Football League) partners walking the red carpet at the Brownlow Medal event, the wife of Essendon captain Zach Merrett has spoken out against such behavior.

Alexandra Merrett, expecting her first baby, shared on TikTok her method for creating an outfit for football’s most prestigious event.

In a video taken in her car, the WAG gave her followers an insider’s perspective on the event.

‘For those who don’t know, every single year, I think five or six players get invited,’ she said. 

The WAG made it clear that only the captain or those who’ve already received a Brownlow Medal will learn about their selection before the end of the home and away season.

Alexandra, planning to debut her luggage brand by year-end, further expressed her views against individuals criticizing women gracing the Brownlow red carpet.

It’s captivating for me to observe how harshly some people can be about others’ appearances during events like these, considering that many of the women have just two weeks to put together their entire ensemble.

In another part of the video, the woman expecting a child mentioned that she had put off creating her personalized dress for the September event due to her growing belly.

The stunning brunette is working closely with fashion stylist Maggie Smith and designer Sonia Cappellazzo, exploring different wardrobe options suitable for her growing bump.

She typically likes to stay quite organized, but given her expanding belly, she and her partner chose to take things slow, allowing them to observe and adapt to her body’s changes.

Two weeks ago, the video emerged, following Zach and Alexandra’s announcement that they were expecting their first baby.

On their shared Instagram post, the couple showcased multiple black-and-white photos featuring Alexandra proudly displaying her pregnant belly.

Zach donned a black tee-shirt and white trousers, contrastingly, his wife sported denim jeans and a top that showcased her expanding belly.

In another photo, the WAG posed in a sheer lace gown that revealed her changing figure.

The pair wore broad grins while sharing their news, titling it: “Baby Merrett, we’ve eagerly anticipated your arrival.”
