Mitchell "Mitch" Brown (born 28 August 1990) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) between 2011-2014.
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]
Brown was delisted at the conclusion of the 2014 AFL season.[5]
In February 2015, Brown was given a short-term contract by Essendon to play in the 2015 NAB Challenge as a "top-up" player, due to 26 Essendon players withdrawing from the NAB Challenge because of the ongoing Essendon Football Club supplements controversy.[6]
