Geelong has officially secured its first father-daughter draftee Millie Brown, taking the daughter of former Cat Paul Brown with selection 11 in the first round of the NAB AFLW Draft.
Millie has enjoyed a successful year on-field in 2019, captain of the Murray Bushrangers and co-captain of the Victoria Country side, she played three games with the club’s VFLW team including an elimination final.
Paul Brown played 84 games for Geelong between 1990 and 1999. A half-forward, Paul played in both the 1994 and 1995 Grand Finals and kicked 66 goals for the club.
A key defender, Millie was named full back in the 2019 All Australian team as well as the 2019 NAB League Team of the Year after averaging 21 disposals across her seven matches.
A powerful kick, Millie’s composure under pressure and her decision-making abilities are amongst her strengths. A natural leader, Millie is also school captain at Shepparton’s Notre Dame College.
