The AFL's newest WAG was MIA at the 2026 Brownlow on Monday night.
As the party kicked off at Crown Melbourne, Brisbane Lions player Lachie Neale arrived solo.
There was no sign of the 33-year-old's new girlfriend, Emma Field, who the AFL star has had on his arm in recent months.
Lachie chose to sit with his teammates after largely avoiding the red carpet, and appeared relaxed throughout the ceremony.
The footballer and his ladylove, 29, made their relationship public after going Instagram official earlier this year.
The Brownlow Medallist was previously married to Jules Neale, with the former couple sharing two children, before their split was confirmed in 2025.

Lachie has found a new companion in Emma, with the pair increasingly spotted together in recent months.
Emma previously lived in Melbourne and is understood to have strong connections to the city.
Her new relationship with Lachie has already made her a person of interest among AFL fans.
Emma isn't a fully-fledged influencer, although she has built a sizeable Instagram following thanks to a steady stream of bikini snaps, gym selfies and carefully curated lifestyle content.
Before swapping makeup brushes for beach clubs, Emma ran a mobile beauty business with her sister Jamie in their hometown of Wangaratta in regional Victoria, where her relationship with Lachie is said to be the talk of the town.

Interestingly, Lachie isn't the only one to have taken notice of Emma.
Reality TV producers have also had her on their radar, with multiple sources telling the Daily Mail she has long attracted interest from Married At First Sight casting staff.
The Daily Mail understands that Lachie's ex-wife Jules is aware of his new relationship.
She is said to be entirely unfazed and focused on the next chapter of her life in Perth.
Lachie and Jules married in late 2018 and split in December 2025, amid a high-profile affair scandal.
They share two children together, daughter Piper, four, and son Freddie, one.
