Dermott Brereton

Known as ‘The Kid’ Dermott Brereton’s natural flamboyance became his trademark. His hard playing style resulted in many injuries but his tenacity kept him playing.

He played in eight grand finals, five premierships and represented Victoria nine times.

He left Hawthorn to join the Sydney Swans and ended his career with Collingwood. From there he moved into the media and coached the Australian team in the International Rules Series against Ireland.
