After 15 games with Geelong, Mitch Brown has been given another shot at AFL level with the Bombers.

Brown featured in the NAB Challenge as one of Essendon’s top up players and was one of the Club’s best performers.

The key position player then returned to the VFL with Sandringham.

“He was excellent in home and away matches, Brown played two outstanding finals, on both occasions moving from the backline to the goal square, kicking five goals against Collingwood and four against Box Hill,” VFL expert Paul Amy said.

“During the season he spent time at both ends of the ground and on the wing, and played every game, proving his fitness.”

Brown is still just 25 and impressed Sandringham with his versatility.

“He didn’t put a foot wrong all year,” Sandringham Coach Paul Hudson said.

“He was strong in defence, very good on the wing and then dominant when we moved him forward.

“He’s the complete package.”
