After debuting in 1988, Bewick played in all three of Essendon's finals in 1989. In 1990, Bewick played in Essendon's losing Grand Final team against Collingwood.
In the Preliminary Final of 1993, Bewick was instrumental in Essendon's comeback victory (trailing the Adelaide Crows by 42 points at half-time) to earn a place in the 1993 Grand Final. Bewick kicked a game high 6 goals (equal with that of Adelaide full forward Tony Modra), kicking his 5th & 6th goals in the final term to level the scores, with Gary O'Donnell kicking the goal to put Essendon in front. Essendon went on to win by 11 points, securing a place in the Grand Final against Carlton. Essendon dominated the premiership decider, winning by 44 points.
In Round 11 of the 1995 AFL season against Geelong, Bewick ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in the second quarter. Coincidentally, his comeback match (and 150th game) was against Geelong in the centenary re-enactment in Round 7, 1996. Bewick was best on ground kicking 9 goals from 11 kicks, including a spectacular finish from the boundary for his 8th goal.
Bewick retired after the 2000 AFL Grand Final, in which Essendon defeated Melbourne by 60 points.
