Media Experience

Few players in the competition have Nathan Brown's measure when it comes to the skills of the game.

In the last decade, Brown has established himself as player of brilliance, highlighted by a knack for finding space and a deadly accurate left foot.

Brown starred or the Bendigo Pioneers in the TAC Cup, winning the Morrish Medal in 1996. The Western Bulldogs made Brown their first selection, pick 10 overall, at the 1996 National Draft.

Brown made it to the Preliminary Final in each of his first two years with the Bulldogs, By 2000, Brown had well and truly become of a star, finishing runner-up in the Bulldogs Best and Fairest and representing both Victoria and Australia.

Brown moved from the midfield into a more permanent forward role under Peter Rohde, topping the Bulldogs goalkicking with 50-plus totals in 2002 and 2003.

In search of a new challenge, Brown was traded to Richmond prior to the start of the 2004 season.

A 29-possession performance, that received three Brownlow votes, against the previous year's runner-up Collingwood in a Round 1 blockbuster saw Brown quickly become a fan favourite at Punt Road.

Third in the best and fairest in 2004, Brown started 2005 in brilliant fashion, with 34 goals in ten rounds before suffering a horrific leg injury.

Back for part of 2006, Brown began to show signs of his best. Another year playing mainly up forward on the comeback trail in 2007 has Brown ready to regain his status as a key man for the Tigers as they look towards September.

Brown remains active off field, with his burgeoning clothing label St Lenny and media work, headed by a regular panel role on The Footy Show with the Nine Network and appearances on radio and in print.

Providing a refreshing outlook on the sport each time he speaks, Brown is appealing to both corporate audiences as well as working with youth groups.

His status in all facets of the game has also seen the likes of Reebok align themselves with the dual All-Australian.

Returning in round 12 Nathan had an immediate impact, kicking 3 goals in the Tigers win against Melbourne. He had a consistent year playing mainly up forward and hoping to regain some further form for the 2008 season.
