From what I’ve seen he’s a hard nosed in and under type. Bit of a strange one for me, I’d rather take a swing on a younger player.

An absolute tackling machine. Like rediculous level of tackles. That probably the POD

My buddy plays for Werribee. His thoughts:

Liked this quote from Brew:

 

[adogsfan5]

Has more passion in his pinky than half of our players. Maybe that’s the difference. Comes in and sets a new standard.

Why an AFL club must offer VFL star an opportunity at the top level

He has had a superb 2024 season.

It’s exactly why we got M.Kennedy too…our team lacks grunt and players to fly the flag

Everyone’s whipping boy VDM is one of a few who do

We’ve got the guys with skill, we need hardness

A Brew or a Kennedy in that final against the hawks wouldn’t have just lied down when it got too tough.
I am not sure VDM is a good example of someone who doesn’t take shit. He can’t find the footy and then gets lippy when we are comfortably winning. I don’t see him laying a huge tackle when the going is getting tough.

It sounds like at the very least we’d get a leader & dominant player for our VFL team with so many fresh faces expected to play next year.

I do accept that we’ve been lacking mature leadership amongst the playing group with even more departing this offseason. It seems like the club has made a that a specific target of players recruited.

Yep. Imagine him in the final. No way he'd let anyone run all over him.

 

[maddog37]

Brew sounds like he would have a few blokes looking over their shoulder during pre season. Perfect scenario.

Stat line looks real impressive. Are zerohanger reliable?

Brew can be a synonym for beverage at a stretch.

I know it's a typo, but it made your post far more interesting!

they are not really reliable

I meant more that he’s not afraid to remonstrate with the opposition and get in their heads…he doesn’t back it up enough on the field though

Cool this has been our missing ingredient since 2016, no Boyds in the side

 

[DognBones]

I don't have any problem with trialling Brew. He's just won the Liston Trophy, averages 29 Disposals and a huge 10 Tackles per game. Granted, he'll be 28 before the next season starts but 2 other Werribee players have just been drafted which speaks to the quality of their list.
It is just a trial and we've missed out on a few local players in recent times. Deserves a shot IMO.

 

[scooter600x]

He’s just another McComb/Hayes/Sullivan/Craig-Peters or any of the 100 other too small, vanilla mids in the VFL. No AFL weapons.
Pass.

I think it is only during working

He is still young enough to reach 100 games for a team if he can make it work, and land a starting gig from the beginning. So I am not worried about the fact he is 27 at all. Obviously it will be more about handling the pace of the AFL, but he has spent years playing against AFL caliber players.

It's really a free hit for us, given we have also bought in another experienced MID in Kennedy, and have four young MIDS on the list now, in Sanders, Gallagher, Hynes and Kennedy. Suddenly our midfield looks much more balanced age profile wise, a little faster, harder and bigger bodied.

We have nothing to lose really with giving him a shot. At least he has more heart than half our team that's a big tick alone. Not going to win finals with players who decide which week to rock up. I hope he succeeds, as he is really one of the best stories about persistence.
