Meanwhile, Lucy, who is the daughter of retired AFL legend Billy Brownless, spent much of last year in Byron Bay with her mother and siblings.

Speaking to the Herald Sun last year, Lucy, 24, said she had been inspired by Paddy’s hard work to recover his football career.  

‘He really is very motivated and inspired to get back to doing what he loves. It’s really inspiring to watch,’ she said at the time.
