Bio
A prolific winner in country football, Herbie Brunning was a small rover recruited from Lilydale after starring in multiple Yarra Valley premierships for both his home club and Mitcham. Standing just 170cm, he joined Richmond during a golden era for the club but faced immense difficulty breaking into a powerhouse lineup that played finals in both his seasons on the list. Brunning managed just a single senior appearance in 1923 and another in 1924, spending his brief VFL tenure as a depth player behind established small men like Donald Don before returning to the local leagues.
