Brown was selected by Geelong with their first round selection (15th overall) in the 2008 AFL Draft, after originally not being considered by most as a top-20 selection.[1] He had previously been playing with the Cheltenham Panthers and the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup. He was originally not selected by the Dragons until he had a growth spurt and performed well for his school, Mentone Grammar School.[2]
A tall forward, he is expected to help Geelong cover the loss of Nathan Ablett.[3] He has also represented Victoria at cricket at junior levels.[2]
Brown broke his leg in a VFL practice match and missed the 2009 season.[4]
