Football Codes

Dermott Hugh Brereton, born in 1964 to Irish immigrant parents, is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn, the Sydney Swans and Collingwood in the Australian Football League. A centre half-forward with strong marking skills and a reliable kick for goal, he was a key member of the Hawthorn side that dominated the 1980s, and was known for a flamboyant style and rugged play that often took him to the Tribunal. He represented Victoria in State of Origin matches and both played for and coached Australia in the International Rules Series. He was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1999 and later became a football commentator and analyst.
