Tony Brown (Australian rules footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tony Brown (born May 28, 1977) is an Australian rules footballer who has played in the AFL and the SANFL.

Recruited from Geelong Falcons, Brown made his AFL debut in 1995 with the St Kilda Football Club. Playing as a rover, Brown was a hard-running player, even if he wasn't as flashy as the young brigade around the mid-90s at St Kilda, consisting of Austinn Jones and Joel Smith. Brown played in the Saints' 1997 losing Grand Final.

At the end of the 2000 season, Brown left St Kilda following a dismal season where the team took out the wooden spoon. He had 108 AFL games and 62 goals to his credit.

Brown moved to SANFL club Port Adelaide Magpies, where he became captain, and in 2001 was the joint winner of the Magarey Medal for the best and fairest player in the SANFL. He quit the club at the end of 2005. He is currently playing for Leopold in the Geelong Football League (GFL), his original club.
