Dwayne Russell has expressed his sadness and sympathy for the Brownless family after Billy Brownless opened up about the scandal involving Brownless, his ex-wife and Garry Lyon.

Dwayne and Billy are far from strangers. Having played AFL together they struck up a friendship which lead to Dwayne being Master of Ceremonies at Billy and Nicky’s wedding.

Dwayne was calling the Port Adelaide v Richmond game on Thursday evening, so didn’t see The Footy Show interview, rather 3AW broadcast edited excerpts.
