Luke Breust’s career appears to be over heartbreaking fashion
SEN • September 13th, 2025 5:36 pm
Luke Breust’s career appears to have ended heartbreakingly, with the small forward having injured his knee.
Having already announced his retirement earlier in the season, having played the last three games of the home and away season in the AFL, Breust has featured in the VFL for Box Hill in their final series, who have made it to the preliminary final.
And during the second quarter of that preliminary final against the Footscray Bulldogs, the 308-game player for Hawthorn was in distress following a tackle on Footscray’s Josh Kellett, with the Bulldog falling on Breust’s knee.
Following the tackle, Breust struggled to move off the floor, with medical staff providing assistance to help him off.
It appears extremely unlikely that he would return should Box Hill make the Grand Final or for Hawthorn in their preliminary final against Geelong next week.
Breust will finish his career with the Hawks as having played the 3rd most games in club history alongside finishing in seventh for most goals (553)
