@johnnythepr1ck He wasn't scared of getting hurt,; he constantly put his body on the line and went back into packs; he wore the hits, the knees in the back, the punches in the back of head, and he never took his eye off the ball; never took short steps nor shirked a physical contest. He absorbed more punishment than any forward I've ever seen and he played with numerous injuries. He was a big-headed tool and he was a dirty player too, He cleaned up many opponents. But he was also one of the most courageous centre half forwards ever.
He did what he was known for . Tough , mean and when he got pissed he let them all know. The fact is he was colourful and great to watch ,and we miss this kind of player now.
@@katesatriani If not for the religious fanaticism of the Victorians the AFL would be struggling now . The Kneeling for the BLM , The AFLW ( women stealing the mans game and playing badly ) , and the so called cleaning up the game and all the other woke virtue signalling that McLaughlin has done ( along with his family ) to Once Great Australian Game I no longer watch it and I canceled my Hawthorn Membership as well. The name of the game is Australian yet it is anything but now .
Funny thing about this story is that hawthorn were up by 4 points at 3quarter time when this happened in 1988. Dunstall would get his 100th the following week against Fitzroy. I was at the game in question, so Dermott obviously embellished that we were 3 goals down. Love you Derm!
Grew up with Derm at the latter stages of career but he was a Hoot as a character and just got up to the antics on the field. Best Niggler! A great of footy culture and great to hear him tell some of these tales.
the bombers and sheedy called his bluff more times than hed care to remember,so he got one in when least expected,? thats how it was back then,i remember as neither a bomber or hawk fan Essendon belting the living suitcases outta Hawthorn both with and without the ball for a long time after 1983,in fact even tho they got smashed in the '83 GF Essendon probably started belting hawthorn up when sheedy arrived in 1981 bout when Dermotts career began
Dermie went on the Fairstar in 1987 with a few of his mates, Had a few refreshments with him. A nice enough sort of bloke. Not that nice that it stopped me throwing a large chunk of ice at his jatz crackers and dropping him like a bag of shite. Yeah, sorry Derm, it was me!
1. Because it is set in a ‘bar’ - this evokes masculinity. 2. There is no female in sight. 3. Aside from Andy’s terrible laughing, they work well together. 4. 7 own all the footage, and this is what the show is based on. 9 doesn’t have the old footage. 5. Well written, well researched, interesting guests.
Because they have not tried to appease the feminazis and put a woman in there to show how gender loving they are . It is a mans game pure & simple and thats why we love it .
@@chrisfi3d Plus you cant have 3 funny men, it works because they have someone to take the piss out of, like the Footy Show had Doug Hawkins and Billy Brownless. The difference is they could play and radar is the dorky straight man.
because it is clever and funny and not slowly dumbing itself down to lowest common denominator as the Footy Show and Eddie and Sam did over the years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an absolute legend Dermie is, one of the toughest players of all time
@johnnythepr1ck You are clueless. Brereton was one of the toughest and most fearless players ever.

Absolutely love Dermie and that's coming from a bomber. He was a champion player and he's a champion bloke

@M hey stupid. There are only 195 countries in the world.
The AFL wouldn't ALLOW Dermot Brereton NOW!!!

Dermie what a player 5 day and 5 night premierships/flags never get tired of hearing the great stories he tells)

yeah hawthorn was up at every quarter except the first
Say what you will but he added colour and flair to the game and he made Centre Half Forward and desired position more than before!
Dermie is a great story teller. Legend
Grew up with Derm at the latter stages of career but he was a Hoot as a character and just got up to the antics on the field. Best Niggler! A great of footy culture and great to hear him tell some of these tales.
Dermie loved the rivalry with Essendon, even after his playing days.
@M there is only 195 countries in the world stupid
@M Manchester United sucks arse. Not even the best club anymore in their own city. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
legend, and i used to see him all the time around mentone when i was living there and he was always a top bloke when youd say hello
Dermie was a peacock off the field. On it he was one of the hardest.
do you understand the balls it would take to run through an entire team,,, this guy was a tough nut like no other,,
When is Dermott gonna come out if his shell
Im a mad hawks supporter and dermie is a legend
Dermie being his usual modest self here.
Geniuses are allowed to be!
@@michaelholding9884 Played junior footy against him, modest he ain't.
@@sentimentalbloke185 so ?
@@jimmyriddle5246 testy
When is this guy gonna come out of his shell
Good to see him still punching.
missed the ol rivalry in football has just turned into a Nancy game of keepings off now
Kevin Sheedy loved him so much that he often wanted him at Essendon.
Dermie was awesome. I liked a lot about him. But KOing Frawley meant he missed Trevor Barker's night one year ...

I wonder how much of that look of anger was theatrics?
Why is this show better than AFL footy show?
1. Because it is set in a ‘bar’ - this evokes masculinity.
2. There is no female in sight.
3. Aside from Andy’s terrible laughing, they work well together.
4. 7 own all the footage, and this is what the show is based on. 9 doesn’t have the old footage.

Wasn’t Allan jeans coaching in 88?
Nah Alan Joyce was coaching because Allan Jeans had a brain haemorrhage prior to the season starting. Jeans took the reins back in 1989
@@Heaffy_21 yes your right. I was at this game but thought it was 89. Cheers
Hit a lot blokes who weren’t ready for it- rarely went toe to toe with anyone.
He also put his body on the line, game after game, like no player I've ever seen.
