Stats
Bio
A seasoned campaigner from the VFA, Billy Bremner arrived at Melbourne as a mature-age recruit after cutting his teeth with Williamstown. Already 30 years old when he made his VFL debut in 1903, he brought vital experience to the side rather than youthful exuberance, featuring in 16 games during his first season. His time at the top level was brief, concluding after just two years and 23 senior appearances, with his low goal tally suggesting a primarily defensive or utility role. Bremner remained involved in the game well after his playing retirement, officiating as both a boundary and field umpire in the league between 1910 and 1912.
