Injury and suspension marred his year with the Swans, however he managed to put his battle wearied body through one more season with Collingwood in 1995, where he played some solid football, notching up 15 games and 30 goals. A flamboyant footballer, Brereton was one of the greatest centre half-forward's of all time, playing in five premierships with Hawthorn.
