Darren Bewick Biography

Koby Bewick, the son of 1993 and 2000 Bombers premiership player Darren Bewick, looms as one of the leading players in the 2027 National Draft.

The 16-year-old starred for Vic Metro in a trial game last weekend, finishing with 29 possessions, eight marks, five clearances, five inside 50s and a goal.

"He just knows his way around the ground, he's a natural," AFL.com.au's trade and draft expert Cal Twomey said.

"The best thing for Essendon (is) if Tasmania comes into the draft in 2027, their access to one of the best players – at this point – is looking untouched.

"They can still get a good player in a draft that is going to be the most compromised ever."

Following the end of the 2009 season, the Kangaroos tell assistant coaches Daniel Daly, Darren Bewick, Anthony Rock and development coach Dave Newett that their services are no longer required under new coach Brad Scott.

North Melbourne assistant coach Darren Bewick is prepared for whatever turn his career may take under new coach Brad Scott.

"Hopefully I've demonstrated enough and have a skill set that someone thinks might be worthwhile having a look at," Bewick said.

"Unfortunately, it's a bit of wait and see at the moment."

Kangaroo assistant coach Darren Bewick said David Hale showed good signs against the Swans which was a reward for effort on the track.

North Melbourne considered dropping full-forward David Hale for last week's clash with the Sydney Swans before caretaker coach Darren Crocker decided to give him another opportunity.

"I'm more pleased for David because I've worked with him the whole year and have seen what he's been doing on the training track," Bewick said on Thursday.

"His training form's been as good as any. He's feeling confident about things going into the games, it just hasn't been happening for him.

"I thought last week the things he's been putting in place on the training track and trying to implement into games finally came to fruition for him."
