Stats
Bio
Recruited from the rural township of Meredith, Jim Brown was a tall utility who arrived at Kardinia Park for the first full season of post-war football in 1946. Standing at 187cm, he offered significant height for the era, providing the Cats with a versatile option capable of competing in the air as a key position player or follower. Despite his imposing frame, Brown's VFL career was fleeting, managing just five senior appearances in the navy and white hoops without registering a goal. He struggled to cement a permanent place in a Geelong side that was beginning its reconstruction phase, eventually departing the league after a single season at the top level.
