About Jonathan Brown (Australian footballer)

Jonathan Brown is a former Australian rules footballer. He played 15 seasons for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League, where he served as captain between 2007 and 2013, and won three AFL premierships between 2001 and 2003. He is also a three-time club Best and Fairest winner, two-time All Australian, and a one-time Coleman Medallist. Touted as the next Wayne Carey early in his career, Brown was an unspectacular but consistent contributor during his first few seasons and, at 195 cm and 105 kg, was an imposing target across half-forward. In Round 6 of 2001, Brown kicked seven goals and amassed nine marks and 19 disposals in his first dominant performance in front of goals.
