The participation of a wealthy board member in the Brisbane Lions’ contentious end-of-season trip has added a further layer to speculation about what happened on the US visit that caused reported rifts among players and their partners.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal Australian rich lister and Lions board member Cathie Reid travelled alongside players during their journey in the United States last October.
Social media photos show players partying alongside Ms Reid and her partner Stuart Giles on the holiday. Ms Reid boasts a fortune of $308million, according to the Australian Financial Review’s 2024 Rich Women List.
Players on the trip included co-captain and Brownlow Medal winner Lachie Neale, Eric Hipwood, Cam Rayner, Jaxon Prior, Hugh McCluggage, Zac Bailey and Lincoln McCarthy, who lived the high life in various US cities alongside the pharmaceutical multi-millionaires.
There are no photos that place Reid or Giles in Las Vegas with the stars.
It has been reported that a rift has developed between Lions teammates over what happened when they were in Las Vegas and some players have been having ‘tough conversations’ with each other as a result.
