Snapshot

Arguably the No.1 player in the AFL, certainly among the most influential, Jonathan Brown is the epitome of a match-winner a powerhouse key forward and inspirational leader who quite simply makes the difference between winning and losing. A member of three premiership sides before his 22nd birthday, he has stepped out of the shadows of the likes of Michael Voss and Alastair Lynch to become the No.1 man at the Brisbane Lions and the face of football in Queensland.

In his 11th AFL season in 2010 and his second as solo captain after two years as co-captain of the Lions, he is coming off a 'threepeat' of wins in the Lions club championship in 2007-09, a 2007 win in the Coleman Medal as the AFL's leading goal-kicker, vice-captaincy of the 2007 All-Australian side and captaincy of the 2008 Victorian side for the AFL Hall of Fame Tribute Match, among a multitude of other honours. He will be a 'Lion for Life' after committing to the club for the remainder of his career in September 2008.

Season 2010

Despite playing just 16 games, Brown again led the Lions goal kicking with 53 goals for the season. He struggled for most of the year with abdominal and groin problems after starring in the first month of 2010. He played his 200th game, also his final game for the season, at Etihad Stadium against Essendon in Round 21. 

Season 2009

In 2009 Brown played all 24 matches, won his third Best & Fairest Award and finished equal fourth in the Brownlow Medal. He averaged 16 disposals throughout the season, finished second in the Coleman Medal to Brendan Fevola and was named in the AFL All-Australian team for the second time. In Round 17 he kicked eight goals against North Melbourne, to pass 400 goals for his career, and his season total of 85 goals was a merged club record.
 
As well as becoming just third person to win three Club Championship Awards in a row, he was awarded the Lions' Most Professional Player Award, the Members Player of the Year Award and Lions' Life Membership. The AFLPA also named him the Best Captain in the AFL. 

Season 2008 

Brown missed just one game in 2008, Round 7 with a knee complaint, but returned in time to captain Victoria in the Hall of Fame match. He played his 150th game in Round 12, was named the Lions' best forward and won his second Club Championship. He was unlucky to miss out on All-Australian selection, but was named the AFLPA's Most Courageous Player for the second year in a row.
 
He kicked 70 goals in 21 matches, combined with Daniel Bradshaw to kick 145 goals and finished fourth in the AFL goal kicking. He kicked three bags of six in a row from Round 8 to Round 10 and kicked his 300th goal against North Melbourne in Round 10.
 
In October Brown was named the sole captain of the Brisbane Lions after the appointment of Michael Voss as Lions' coach. 

Season 2007

Brown was named one of five captains of the Lions in 2007, played all 22 matches and was named club Champion for the first time. He kicked 10 goals against Carlton at the Gabba in Round 16 and totalled 77 goals for the season which qualified for him for the Coleman Medal. He was named vice-captain of the All Australian Team and voted by his peers as the competition's Best Captain and Most Courageous Player.
