17 Nathan Brown
Height: 179
Weight: 72
Birthday: 10 February 1978
Period on list: 1997 to 2003
Senior Games: 137
Goals: 206
Disposals: 2404
Recruited From: Bendigo U18, 1996 National Draft pick 10
Honours: All Australian 2001 & 2002, Morrish Medal 1996, Victorian State selection 2000, Second Best and Fairest 2000, International rules selection 2000-2003. leading goalkicker 2003-2003 56 and 57 goals.
Nathan Brown was a versatile player who could play in most forward, centre or flank positions. His game alternated between the wing, half back flank or as a forward. He eventually became a full-forward although occasionally his kicking accuracy let him down.
He had excellent seasons from 2000 onwards, coming 2nd in the Best and Fairest, and narrowly missing All Australian selection in 2002. One of his best games for the year was probably against Adelaide when he kicked 6 goals, 4 of them in the first quarter.
He was a highly skilled left footer who has just kept on improving. Early on, he was in and out of the senior team mainly due to inconsistency. He soon became a regular player and part of the 'core' of the team.
At the end of 2003 he did not come to terms on a new contract and went to Richmond. Deserted some would say, like Judas others would say.
