Stats
Bio
A tall key defender from North Melbourne, Gordon Brunnen joined St Kilda after serving in the Royal Australian Navy during World War II. Standing 188cm, he was a physically imposing backman for the Saints in the immediate post-war era, using his height to spoil and intercept in a side that often found itself under heavy defensive pressure. After two seasons and 26 games at the Junction Oval, he crossed to Fitzroy for the 1948 season but managed just three senior appearances for the Lions before concluding his VFL career.
