Brown possessed exceptional pace, he was a Stawell Gift finalist in 1946,[1] and was used on the wing when he started out at Carlton during the 1941 VFL season. In his second season Brown began playing as a key defender to fill the gap left by players who were serving in the war and was full-back in Carlton's 1945 premiership side, where he stood South Melbourne's star forward Laurie Nash.
^He finished fifth in the 1946 final, running off a handicap of 7 yards (Tommy Deane's Stawell Gift, The Weekly Times, (Wednesday, 24 April 1946), p.29.
