The 2025 AFL season has come to an end and the off-season break has officially commenced.
With that, comes holiday time and our athletes have reached all corners of the globe during their break.
Nick Daicos:
Nick and partner Arlette jetted off to Sydney and the Gold Coast to spend some time in the sun. Relaxing by the pool and just enjoying the scenery, before catching the next flight to France as the couple look to expereince the French way off life for a few weeks. The number 35 is having a lowkey off-season as he prepares to continue his sensational career into 2026.
Beau McCreery:
Once the celebrations of the E.W Copeland Trophy were complete, Beau McCreery and partner Frankie wasted no time heading for the Middle East. Spending plenty of time by the pool in the warm climate, the couple were living up the luxury lifestyle.
A highlight of their trip would be the thrill seeking in the sand dunes of Morocco. Whether that be via dune buggy or snowboard, there was fun to be had in the desert.
The couple then made their way to Europe, sight-seeing the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Big Ben in London before heading to a Champions League fixture at the Emirates to see Arsenal beat Athletico Madrid 4-0.
Jack Crisp:
Crispy has kept his off-season local as the consecutive games record holder hopes to extend his record even further in 2026.
The first stop was a farewell party for retiring Pie Will Hoskin-Elliott, while accompanied by some former Magpies in Brody Mihocek and John Noble. Amongst spending time with his family, Jack also pulled out the golf clubs for a charity golf day supporting the Fight Cancer Foundation.
Harry Perryman:
Harry Perryman has been living his best life on the other side of the world, traveling to Europe and taking it in for all that it is. Perryman has spent time with former GWS teammates Isaac Cumming, Connor Idun, James Peatling and Brent Daniels before spending time with West Coast’s Jack Graham in Amsterdam.
From cruising the canals of the Netherlands, playing golf and enjoying a British pub crawl, everything was completed with a trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to see the NFL’s New York Jets and Denver Broncos battle it out.
Scott Pendlebury:
The Pendlebury family headed for a tropical resort this off-season, heading north to Orpheus Island, a small island off the Northen coast of Townsville.
Spending some quality time with the kids and partner Alex, Pendles spent his time as you would expect any father on holidays would. Playing on the beach, relaxing in the sun, jumping off the piers, taking the kids out on boat trips and just enjoying the quiet serenity for all that it is.
Josh Daicos:
The eldest of the Daicos brothers has kept it particularly lowkey during the break, taking a trip up to Sydney and sharing some great times with friends and partner Annalise.
Isaac Quaynor:
Isaac Quaynor and co were “tapped in” for their incredible overseas trip to Bali. The defender flew over with teammate and close friend Tew Jaith while also linking up fellow AFL stars Buku Khamis of the Western Bulldogs and Jaith’s brother, Changkuoth, who recently completed a move to Melbourne.
Living up the resort life exactly as you should, the 10-night stay was the perfect get away after an eye-catching season that saw him finish third at the clubs best and fairest.
An amazing trip soaking up the resort lifestyle with cocktails, the pool, beach and sunshine.
Patrick Lipinski:
Pat was another member of the Collingwood cohort to head for the international terminal.
The first stop was the ancient country of Greece, where the utility and partner Chloe traversed the winding streets and soaked up the picturesque views. After consuming too many chicken gyros, the pair made their way to the UK to continue their adventures.
The final stop was the United States and the NBA at Madison Square Garden to see the New York Knicks take on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Truly a worldwide trip to remember.
Darcy Moore:
The captain was off exploring in southern Asia with Bangkok, Thailand the location of choice.
Diving headfirst into the local culture, Darcy and partner Dee left no restaurant unvisited with countless local meals consumed. Exploring the streets by day while taking to roof top bars at night, as put by Darcy himself, “Bangkok rocked by socks”.
Jeremy Howe:
The Howe family went straight to the coast as they looked to spend some time in the warmer weather. Hitting the beach and the hotel pool while experinecing some quality family time was the perfect way for the Howe's to relax and spend time together after a injury plaged season for Jeremy in 2025.
