Born in Broken Hill and recruited via Caulfield in the amateur leagues, Bernie Treweek had to bide his time before establishing himself as a VFL regular. He initially struggled to crack a strong Carlton lineup, spending the majority of his tenure in the reserves and managing just half a dozen senior appearances in the Navy Blue. A transfer to Fitzroy in 1937 revitalised his career, where he immediately slotted into the defence and was recognised by The Argus as one of the season's best recruits. Treweek became a dependable backman for the Maroons, serving as a consistent fixture in the defensive 50 for four seasons before concluding his career in 1940.
