Tanner Bruhn




Tanner has increased his profile at Geelong with another impressive performance against a top-four contender.
The 22-year-old had 25 disposals, including 15 contested possessions, in the Cats' loss to Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday.
Bruhn also had eight clearances and six tackles in a performance that was praised by coach Chris Scott.
"We've been really pleased with Tanner's development this year," Scott said.
"He's a young player who is still learning the game, but he's shown some really good signs.
"He's a tough inside midfielder who can win his own footy and use it well. He's also a good tackler and he's starting to develop his leadership skills."
Bruhn was recruited by Geelong with pick 12 in the 2020 AFL Draft. He made his debut in 2021 and has played 19 games for the Cats.
He is averaging 16.6 disposals, 6.3 contested possessions and 4.3 tackles per game in 2023.
Bruhn is a key part of Geelong's young midfield brigade, which also includes Sam De Koning, Oliver Henry and Jack Bowes.
He is a rising star who is expected to play a big role for the Cats in the years to come.
