West Coast Eagles stars Nic Naitanui, Jamie Cripps and Jack Redden escape down south for ‘bye-cation’

A group of West Coast Eagles players have snuck down south for a “bye-cation” winery tour.

It looks like Adam Simpson has given half of his team the all clear to enjoy some much deserved R’n’R in the State’s South West with the team’s upcoming bye for round 14.

Footy stars Nic Naitanui, Jamie Cripps, Liam Duggan, Tommy Cole, Jack Redden and Zac Langdon didn’t need to be told twice — wasting no time packing up the car, and their significant others, for a boozy escape.

The lads — along with their partners Brittany Bown, Liv Stanley and son Reif, Lauren Goold, Lily Burke and Aymee Redden — were all spotted sipping their way around Margaret River yesterday, much to the delight of local footy fans.

Bown posted a happy snap with the Redden family from Swings and Roundabouts, with the athletic group also cropping up at Pierro in Wilyabrup and the famous Amelia Park winery.

Naitanui responded to popular Perth parody account Bell Tower Times on Instagram after they asked the “big man” for any tasting notes.

“Fish outta water,” he joked.

It’s not the first time the tight knit group of players have opted to holiday together out of work hours.

The Eagles stars have been spotted down south on a number of occasions together since the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to any lavish overseas off season escapes.

Last November Naitanui made his relationship with girlfriend Brittany Lee Instagram-official during a trip to Margaret River with Duggan, Josh Rotham and Cripps.
