Post-football
Lockett's aversion of the media has been well documented. Since his retirement he has been elusive and has had little involvement in the game.
He has appeared in various television commercials, including Advanced Hair and Lowes Menswear (in Sydney). While at a taping session for a Lowes commercial, Lockett engaged in a friendly wrestling match with former amateur rugby player Ace (Adrian) Mueller, who was at the time working for Lowes corporate division. According to some reports, the friendly wrestle developed into something quite competitive, with Lockett pinning Mueller (an exponent of the Israeli self defence system, Krav Maga). More recently Tony starred along with Stephen Curry and Dave Lawson in a Toyota Memorable Moments advertisement which takes a lighthearted look at many moments in his career including: the piglet 'Pluga', 'One Tony Lockett', 'That Point' and his 1,300th goal (including the pitch invasion).
Lockett is also well known for his main interest outside of football, greyhound racing and was alleged to be part owner of famous dog Brett Lee (which was worth well over A$1million) among others.
