Billy Brownless targeted by social media trolls over anniversary post
Billy Brownless has found himself the target of social media trolls as the AFL icon celebrated his one year anniversary with partner Crystle Fleur. The 198-game Geelong Cats star was soaking up the bubbling romance, but a post on social media quickly took an ugly turn. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. Fleur, 52, took to social media to gush about Brownless, 58, and hinted at what may be in store for the couple. 'Happy 1st anniversary to this amazing man!' Fleur captioned the upload. '365 days of love, laughter and amazing adventures as we fly off to start the biggest one yet.' And while the post received a flood of support from friends, the nasty comments quickly began to pour in. One commenter wrote: 'Money can buy u happiness.' A second posted: 'And I thought Bradman batted way above his average.' A third added: 'Gary Lyon somewhere lurking looking to swoop in at any given opportunity.' Another wrote: 'Punching above your weight there big man.' Several however came to the defence of Brownless and took aim at the trolls trying to dampen the happiness of the couple. A fed up commenter wrote: 'I can't believe some of the comments on this! People are gross, and likely just jealous of you guys (or unhappy in their own sh*tty lives). You both look very happy. Congrats on 1 year, & many more to come!' Former AFL player Dale Thomas wrote: 'Congrat guys' alongside the raising hands emoji. Brownless and Fleur went public with their relationship in October last year at Geelong's best and fairest night. The then 57-year-old Cats Hall of Famer was seen arm in arm with the 52-year-old mum of three with the two being sighted at a plethora of events since. The pair had reportedly been going strong for two months before their first public outing. The happy couple were spotted after the AFL Grand Final speaking with his ex-wife Nicky Brownless and former best mate and Melbourne great Garry Lyon. Brownless and Nicky were together for 18 years before splitting in 2014. In 2016 Lyon's friendship with Brownless fell apart after he went public with Nicky. A month after their relationship made headlines, Billy revealed how the relationship had impacted his family, saying 'a good mate wouldn't do that'. 'I couldn't believe it. I found out three or four months ago. I asked Garry and Nicky earlier on what is going on and they said they were just good friends,' he said on the Footy Show at the time. 'That's what hurts the most.' The former best mates have since reunited with the duo spending several Christmases together as an extended family. Lyon surprised Nicky in December, 2023 when he proposed and she said yes. Nicky clearly wasn't expecting the move, announcing the news of the engagement on her Instagram account, posting a black and white photo of the pair embracing with the caption 'the best surprise'. The duo, who have been together for eight years, took off to New York shortly after the proposal.

‘Piece of sh*t': Boyfriend's ‘dog' act at Sydney fitness event
A viral video from the Sydney HYROX event over the weekend has sparked debate online, after footage surfaced of a man continuing to compete while his girlfriend and teammate was left on the floor being treated by paramedics. The incident, which quickly went viral on TikTok, was captured on video by a bystander who watched in horror. 'That guy's missus just fainted and like full hit the deck, she's unresponsive and he just kept doing the wall balls and then crossed the line by himself. He's left her there … what a piece of sh*t. I think I've just witnessed one of the worst things in my life …' the witness, Aaron Boundy, said. 'She hit the deck, fainted and was full like twitching on the floor, and then her boyfriend just kept on doing wall balls, didn't go over and see her … all the paramedics come over and start doing all this medical stuff to her, put barricades around her, so obviously it's pretty bad,' he continued. He claimed that the man tapped his girlfriend on the leg and then asked the race's judge if he needed her to finish the race. When he was told that he 'technically didn't', he allegedly ran off and finished the race without her. The footage shows paramedics attending to the woman while her boyfriend continues to run in the background. What is HYROX? HYROX is a global fitness racing event that focuses on endurance running with functional strength challenges. Competitors complete eight 1km runs, each followed by a different workout station, such as sled pushes, burpee jumps, rowing, and wall balls. Participants can compete as singles, doubles, or in relay teams, and each person wears a timing chip to record their pace. Social media backlash In the comments of the video, many condemned the man's decision to continue the race after his partner fainted. 'Showed the public how he feels about her,' wrote one commenter. 'I hope that's her ex now,' said another. 'If we signed up as a couple, and he continued without me due to a medical emergency – especially being UNCONSCIOUS – he could continue the rest of his life without me too,' another woman added. Then some took aim at the broader HYROX culture, labelling the event 'cult-like' and questioning the priorities of its participants. 'Some of these HYROX folks treat it like a cult,' one person wrote. 'Every thought I've had about the people who go to HYROX – confirmed,' said another. People defend the man's move However, not everyone agreed with the criticism. James, a fellow HYROX competitor who competed over the weekend, told 'I think most people will use this video as a chance to demonise being selfish and culty to finish at all costs etc. but context is important. 'If it were me, I would have stayed with her, but I can also see why he finished it. We don't really know what happened.' Then, a woman claiming to be the person in the video commented on the clip, saying: 'My first two questions to my partner when I came to was 'Did you finish it for us, and what time did we get?' And for context, if you bothered to show it, he came back straight away, a bit disappointing that this has been taken out of context for views'. Another witness said: 'This is not an accurate reflection of what actually took place. I was there and witnessed the entire situation as well. He checked on his partner multiple times while she was being attended to by medics. It feels like the account of events has been unfairly misrepresented'. Others argued that with paramedics on hand, there was little he could do: 'To be fair, if my partner and I trained for this and I was with paramedics, I'd want him to cross the finish line because he can't do anything to help me anyways … He will come back'. Another added, 'The paramedics would've told him to give them space to work anyways, she was in good hands'. has reached out to the woman allegedly in the video for further comment. Official HYROX response Mat Lock, Country Manager for HYROX APAC and Technical Director for HYROX Elite Racing, told 'The lady in question was assessed by the medical team at the wall ball station and then quickly relocated by wheelchair to the medical zone for treatment. 'A while later, the racer recovered sufficiently to leave on foot with her entourage and was advised to seek follow-up medical advice as a precaution. 'After receiving a radio call from a Head Judge, the medical team and Event Directors responded quickly to the situation. Priority was, and always will be, given to the participant's assessment/treatment, privacy and safety.' Mr Lock also clarified the rules: 'Both teammates are required to complete the full race to be eligible for a finisher time and ranking'.
