Originally from Echuca, Brown was a talented and adaptable footballer whose highly promising career was ultimately derailed by injury. He commenced with Geelong in 1992 when he played mainly as a forward but he later produced some of his best football in defence. He was a member of the Cats' losing Grand Final teams against West Coast in 1994 and Carlton the following year, performing particularly impressively in the latter match. However, early in the 1996 season he suffered a ruptured patella tendon and managed just one more senior grade match (and that was a couple of years later). His final tally of league games with Geelong was 84, and he booted 66 goals.
