[4] His strong performances saw him selected for the season's All-Australian team. [5]
Brown was drafted by Collingwood with pick 35 in the 2016 national draft under the father–son rule, with Collingwood matching North Melbourne's bid. [6] Despite the number 26 guernsey which his father wore being vacant, Brown chose to wear number 17 to create his own legacy. [7] He started the season on the sidelines after being diagnosed with glandular fever during the 2017 season pre-season. [8] In round 12 he made his debut for Collingwood, recording 16 disposals against Melbourne in a four-point loss. [9]
