News Hawk for life, Luke Breust. Signs to 2024. Kicks 500 goals!

[LuckyHawk]

I’m just rapped he has extended his contract with us
Recon he has another contract in him too!

Yep, he's fantastic. So happy he's staying and hopefully finishes his career with us.
Cheers ST.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

I'm absolutely deadset late here, but so glad Breust has stayed on, he's an absolute star of the game still, hard to replace, great leadership and especially off field, he'll be an awesome coach and no doubt they're grooming him for it.

He'll play for a while.

 

[MrPremiership]

Will be here again next year when they announce his 2025 extension

 

[toomanysquibs]

We needed him to stay so badly.

There is currently an abyss to be filled where Buddy, Rough, Pop, Cyril, Bruest, Gunston and to a lesser extent Hale used to stand.

We really need Brockman to stay, Lewis to continue to improve and find 1-2 mates, Moore to spend time there with Winged, and Butler to come on strong.

brilliant news!

Breust should end his career with 550+ goals (should go past Jeff Farmer

He is also already top 10 for goal assists (equal 10th since this has been a stat).

3 flags, dual All Australian and led our goalkicking 4 times.

Underrated champion.

As far as I can tell, there have been 9 non key position players in history who have kicked 500 goals.

Those are:

Whoops, forgot to write Brent Harvey - will edit.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Good news this one, we wouldn't get much value out of him in a trade at this point, so delighted to see him locked away for another couple of seasons at us.

 

[Steven Tyler]

That’s not even the best reason for him extending his current contract either!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Always finding a negative… even when we re-sign a club champion.

 

[Turly]

Breust should end his career with 550+ goals (should go past Jeff Farmer, Stevie J and Brent Harvey for goals kicked, putting him top 3 of AFL era small forwards for goals kicked)

He is also already top 10 for goal assists (equal 10th since this has been a stat).

3 flags, dual All Australian and led our goalkicking 4 times.

Underrated champion.

An absolute embarrassment which goes to show the quality of AA.

 

[Alite]

Define Honour = either to keep an agreement or to have high regard. Both work for Breust.

 

[Rowie6]

What a champion. Love him.

Now for his best mate Gunner.

Fingers Crossed !
Decision eminently close you would think ?

Absolutely love punky. Cant speak any more highly of him as a footballer or as a person. The most down to earth guy u will ever meet. A hawthorn champion and i consider myself fortunate enough to have seen spoke and shook his hand. Love u punk and thank the stars i get to see him in the brown and gold again next year as i will miss him when he has gone. Congrats once again punk on 500 you deserve every accolade

 

[TylerDurden]

One of the greats.

 

[Argy]

I remember watching him in his first game when he came on as sub about halfway through the match. He instantly fitted in and looked like he'd been doing it for years. Class from the first minute he walked onto the paddock.

[theiaofseed]

Breust was the 132nd Pick used in the 2008 draft and easily the best player from that draft.

Amazing career.

 

[Hawthorn23]

Punky looks like he can keep this up for another 3 years at least. Wouldn’t be rushing him out the door by any means, good small forwards just don’t grow on trees

 

[Bugs1977]

I was going to say the same thing. If he has a good season next year then what’s stopping him from going again on another 1 year deal.
