Early football


Bruhn began his footballing career with the Newtown & Chilwell Football Club in the western suburbs of Geelong.[4] Bruhn played 55 matches with the club between 2013 and 2018.[5] He played in the Firsts team at his school, Geelong Grammar School, where he won the best and fairest award in 2018 as a 16 year old.[6] He played for Vic Country in the Under 16 Championships and won its MVP award and All-Australian title.[7] His 2019 season saw him impacted by injury after hurting his knee,[8] however he was fit enough to play a few matches with the Geelong Falcons in the NAB League, and Vic Country in the 2019 AFL Under 18 Championships.[9]


AFL career


There was immediate controversy surrounding Bruhn's new career at the Giants after he was shown to have a 'solemn' reaction to being drafted by them on draft night. However, it was later explained by him that it was due to him having a rather 'reserved' personality, and being shocked.[10][11][12] Bruhn debuted for Greater Western Sydney in the opening round of the 2021 AFL season.[13][14][15] On debut, Bruhn collected 9 disposals, 2 tackles and 2 clearances.[16] After only collecting 7 disposals the next week against Fremantle,[17] Bruhn was omitted from the team. Bruhn received a nomination for the Goal of the Year award after kicking a skilful goal in the eighth round of the season.[18]

After the 2022 AFL season, Bruhn requested a trade to the newly-crowned premiers, Geelong.[19] Bruhn was traded for Geelong's first round draft pick on 7 October.[20]
