Milestones for Punky and Viss
Renowned for his on-field excellence and dedication to his football, Brewster will undoubtedly go down as a legend of the club.
Visser, 34, began his storied career with the Dusties before playing at a number of different teams, the highlight being winning a premiership with Catani in 2017 with Warragul Industrials as their grand final opponents.
Since returning to Warragul Industrials in 2022, he has become a vital component and leader within the senior side.
A hard in and under player, Visser's attack on the ball has been a hallmark of his career, as well as his versatility - he may just be the shortest player to have rucked in West Gippsland this season.
Speaking post-game, Brewster said to play 400 games was "a good achievement."
"It's just good to share it with a group that's really working towards something and a club that's really trying to embed themselves in the West Gippy league. Obviously we're a little bit away off but it's nice to share it with the group of guys we've got," he said.
"It was really nice and to share it with 'Viss' was really great as well. The boys got right around it which was awesome."
Visser said there were moments throughout his career where he thought he might not get to 300 games. "I feel good. Didn't think I was going to get there for a fair while with injuries and stuff but it's good to make it and something else to tick off the list. At 34 I think I've done pretty well," he said. "I was here when 'Punky' played his first game. His first senior game for us I was playing seniors at that time as well so it's good to see he has stuck around and continued to play on." Both Brewster and Visser paid tribute to country football, saying it had played a significant role in both their lives. "Country footy is a staple of the community and it's good to meet so many people around the community as part of it," Brewster said. "To be honest looking back on it it's been enjoyable and that's the main thing. I wouldn't keep doing it if I didn't enjoy it. As long as you're having fun that's the main part." Visser agreed, saying football had been a "massive part" of his life. "It's been everything, really. Mates and everything like that, even through COVID when we didn't have footy the group stayed pretty close together so that was really good." Brewster will be moving on from the club come the end of the season, having taken up a senior coaching role at Trafalgar next season. "It's exciting to go and try something different. As I said I love this club and this'll always be home but it's exciting to go and try something different," he said.
