Teams

Recruited from South Melbourne Districts, Martin Brown was a serviceable utility who plied his trade for the Bloods throughout the 1920s. Operating primarily on the wing or rotating across the half-forward flank, he offered flexibility to the lineup and chipped in with 38 career goals. Although he remained on the list for eight seasons, his career was punctuated by intermittent selection, preventing him from solidifying a permanent role as a senior regular. Brown finished his time at Lake Oval in 1928 as a one-club player, representing the dedicated rank-and-file performers who underpinned the side during the decade.
