Dermott Brereton

Dermott Brereton can talk football from both sides of the boundary: as a player, and as a voice calling the game. Hawthorn gave him his first senior game in 1982, and he later lined up with the Sydney Swans and Collingwood, appearing in several grand finals over his career. Once he'd finished playing, he moved into broadcasting, commentating on television and radio. As an MC or speaker he draws on both chapters, from sporting yarns to motivational presentations. It suits a footy club function or a business lunch. He's based in Melbourne.
