The social media influencer fianc\u00e9e of Western Bulldogs<\/a> defender Rory Lobb has explained why she was on the Brownlow<\/a> red carpet without her AFL<\/a>-playing partner on Monday night.<\/p>\n

TikTok content creator Lexi Mary dazzled in a stunning iridescent dress at Crown Melbourne on footy\u2019s night of nights, but she was conspicuously solo, with Lobb nowhere in sight.<\/p>\n

Brownlow invites are notoriously exclusive, with only a select few players from each club, and their dates, lucky enough to score one.<\/p>\n

And while Mary didn\u2019t have a seat inside the Palladium at Crown, she was there on the red carpet holding a microphone for a newspaper.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my gosh, that was the best experience ever,\u201d she said in a video on Monday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had so much fun, I got to interview so many people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was kind of just there with my little microphone asking them fun questions. I tried to avoid any super serious, actual footy questions, and I just made it a bit of fun, which I actually think people really enjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bulldogs captain and perennial Brownlow contender Marcus Bontempelli was one of six players invited from the Kennel, along with Tom Liberatore, Bailey Dale, Ed Richards, Mark of the Year winner Sam Darcy, and Mark of the Year nominee Buku Khamis.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot every player gets invited to the Brownlow,\u201d Mary went on to say in her video.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly a few from each team get invited every year, and then that\u2019s also dependent on who got Mark of the Year nominations, if you\u2019ve got Rising Star nominees \u2014 all of that, they fill in certain spots \u2014 and then the captain always gets a spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then the other people are based on who\u2019s going to poll the most votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that addresses some questions; some people are like, \u2018Where\u2019s Rory? Why is Rory not with you?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to go do work and Rory\u2019s at home with our babies, so that\u2019s that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mary also revealed she had a stumble on the way in and, despite quickly recovering, has the \u201cbattle scar\u201d to prove it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I was heading in \u2014 I literally have battle scars \u2014 I slipped down a hill, fell in my dress, in my heels, with my little camera, which is what I vlog my YouTube videos on and it\u2019s now broken,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuite a few people saw me (fall), but they were like, \u2018That was very graceful, the way you just got up and kept strutting in\u2019, but oh my god, it was so embarrassing. Of course that happened to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lobb and Mary are due to get married this off-season.<\/p>\n
