News Hawk for life, Luke Breust. Signs to 2025. Kicks 500 goals!

[MrPremiership]

Will be there for our next flag. Just doesn't miss games. Could play for another 5 years easily

 

[Roger Rogerson]

He seems to be more and more playing rugby now on the footy field with his moves. Is fascinating to watch. He is getting less ball but can still carve out a run when he gets it and inevitably scores.

So good at dealing with the tackler either early with the fend off or when he is about to be tackled does his famous sidestep. No doubt team of the century for mine one of the best I have seen.

 

[Milkshaker]

Such a damaging player. I can't believe another club has not come with a mega deal at some point. (They probably have.)

In recent times he has been our most dangerous forward and has struggled to get off the leash. Him and maybe Chad would be the only real headaches for opposition forward coaches atm. Would love to see him freed up again for a season or two again.

Gold Coast and GWS both offered long term deals close to a mill a year multiple times.

 

[The Chad and I]

He's so smart and skillful.
It's incredible how consistently he is able to execute in big moments.
He is one of the best problem solvers under pressure I have ever seen, and probably underrated because of Cyril's brilliance.

His output for goals, assists, tackles are as good as any forward I have seen.

He's lost a bit of straight line speed, but he's just so consistent at timing his runs to hit the ball at full pace and pull away anyway.

I hope he can play for a few more years. The cliff comes fast for the elder statesman in AFL.

But he's looking golden even now. As everyone else has written above, there is just so much for us to be thankful for with Breust.

Also lost 5 to 7m on his set shot goalkicking.

Very Unlikely

It's possible he does play until 35 though.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Was a set play at a F50 stoppage they used to practice a lot. Worked to perfection at the right time to win us a GF!!

Sandilands won the hit out

will be a Hawk for life.

Unless we trade him.

And then he’s not.

 

[SSSSSS]

He's so smart and skillful.
It's incredible how consistently he is able to execute in big moments.
He is one of the best problem solvers under pressure I have ever seen, and probably underrated because of Cyril's brilliance.

His output for goals, assists, tackles are as good as any forward I have seen.

If Betts is the Snr of small forwards than Breust is the Dunstall. Rioli is above comparison.

 

[The Chad and I]

How to ignore a champion over a ten year career while he wins 3 premierships:

How Hawks forward "breaks" opposition defenders

"He’s had a fantastic year."

[Steven Tyler]

Great news re knee

 

[Cyril says]

It's possible he does play until 35 though.

So 3 years after the Brizvegas Olympics then??

 

[Cyril says]

If Betts is the Snr of small forwards than Breust is the Dunstall. Rioli is above comparison.

Yep - Rioli is Rioli.

Punky has been awesome for us.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

he's had a 2021 similar to gunston's 2020

 

[MrPremiership]

Has the media finally caught on to how brilliant this bloke is?

 

[tenderwarrior]

If Betts is the Snr of small forwards than Breust is the Dunstall. Rioli is above comparison.

Bruest is the best small forward of the last decade, or at least equal to. A gun.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

betts, rioli, breust

daylight

the rest

 

[MinerBoy]

Bruest is the best small forward of the last decade, or at least equal to. A gun.

I agree.

Better defensively than Betts but as good a goal kicker.

Better goal kicker than Cyril but not the equal defensively.

Also great at goal/score assists on top of his own scoring.

Doesn't have the highlights reel of the other 2, isn't as flashy.... but for a full package he's the best of the 3.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Nice to hear the news regarding the knee, I was thinking it may have been our annual injury to a key player that will result in him missing all of next season.

 

[dermott]

Great news re knee

What has been reported about the knee? I haven’t seen anything.

 

[Dinsdale]

What has been reported about the knee? I haven’t seen anything.

theres a little video from Luke on the Hawks website, its "just" a bit of bone bruising.

 

[TazHawk15]

What has been reported about the knee? I haven’t seen anything.

Bone bruising and a bit of aggro in the knee but nothing structural he is hopeful of playing again this year depending on how it settles, but for mine it’s season over.

 

[The Chad and I]

Can't believe people think Betts is/was better than Breust.
One played second fiddle to Taylor Walker
