}} Anthony William Brownless (born 28 January 1967) is a former Australian rules footballer and radio and television media personality who represented {{AFL Gee}} in the Australian Football League (AFL) during the 1980s and 1990s. Life and careerBrownless was born and raised in Jerilderie, a rural town in New South Wales. He first played football for his local team, the Jerilderie Football Club, when it was part of the Murray Football League. He boarded for three years in Kilmore, Victoria, at Assumption College, one of Australia's most renowned "football nurseries", a school which has a strong tradition of producing footballers who have gone on to play in the AFL. In 1984, his final year at the school, Brownless kicked 155 goals for the school team.[1] VFL/AFLGeelong asked Brownless to come and train, but instead he chose to return home to Jerilderie to be with family and friends and play a season of senior football before going to Geelong.[1] During the 1985 season, he kicked 148 goals for the Jerilderie senior team while working as a farmhand. Jerilderie made it to the grand final but lost. Brownless kicked six of the team's nine goals despite having injured an ankle in the semi-final.[1] Brownless moved to Geelong in time for the 1986 VFL season and began working as a groundsman at Kardinia Park. He said that playing for Geelong was a natural progression for him because of the town's rural atmosphere: It's really like a big country town and the club's a lot like a country club. You're all behind one another and you're all pretty close. It's a good feeling.[1] Brownless made his senior VFL debut in Round 1, 1986 and quickly made a name for himself as a strong full-forward, winning the Cats' best first year player award that year. He went on to play 198 games and kick 441 goals, putting him fourth in Geelong's all-time goalkicking list, behind Gary Ablett (1021), Doug Wade (834) and Steve Johnson (452). One of Brownless' fondest memories was kicking a goal after the siren against Footscray in their 1994 qualifying final. With Geelong trailing by one point, he marked the ball within scoring range with just seconds left and kicked a goal to send Geelong through to the next stage of the finals. While the Cats eventually made it to the grand final, they lost that match. Brownless played in four losing grand final teams with Geelong. Brownless retired in 1997 at 30 years of age. Brownless has the record for most goals in a game at the Gabba, with 11. State of OriginBrownless first played State of Origin in 1988 for New South Wales. Playing in the State of Origin Carnival that year, he kicked three goals in the tournament, two in the first against South Australia and one in the second against Western Australia.[2] In 1993 he again played in the State of Origin Carnival, being selected for NSW/ACT against Victoria. With Wayne Carey and John Longmire in the side, Brownless played at centre half back. In 1995 he kicked five goals and was named in the best players for The Allies in a win over Western Australia.[3] Statistics[4]{{AFL player statistics legend}}{{AFL player statistics start}} |- style="background-color: #EAEAEA" | 1986 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 14 || 32 || 16 || 112 || 50 || 162 || 80 || 0 || 2.3 || 1.1 || 8.0 || 3.6 || 11.6 || 5.7 || 0.0 |- | 1987 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 14 || 30 || 22 || 112 || 48 || 160 || 75 || 20 || 2.1 || 1.6 || 8.0 || 3.4 || 11.4 || 5.4 || 1.4 |- style="background-color: #EAEAEA" | 1988 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 7 || 14 || 7 || 44 || 21 || 65 || 28 || 6 || 2.0 || 1.0 || 6.3 || 3.0 || 9.3 || 4.0 || 0.9 |- | 1989 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 26 || 46 || 34 || 228 || 120 || 348 || 143 || 19 || 1.8 || 1.3 || 8.8 || 4.6 || 13.4 || 5.5 || 0.7 |- style="background-color: #EAEAEA" | 1990 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 22 || 35 || 22 || 241 || 143 || 384 || 122 || 21 || 1.6 || 1.0 || 11.0 || 17.5 || 6.5 || 5.5 || 1.0 |- | 1991 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 20 || 81 || 54 || 223 || 72 || 295 || 142 || 13 || 4.1 || 2.7 || 11.2 || 3.6 || 14.8 || 7.1 || 0.7 |- style="background-color: #EAEAEA" | 1992 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 24 || 79 || 46 || 213 || 100 || 313 || 141 || 16 || 3.3 || 1.9 || 8.9 || 4.2 || 13.0 || 5.9 || 0.7 |- | 1993 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 11 || 20 || 14 || 100 || 43 || 143 || 51 || 7 || 1.8 || 1.3 || 9.1 || 3.9 || 13.0 || 4.6 || 0.6 |- style="background-color: #EAEAEA" | 1994 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 17 || 34 || 21 || 153 || 45 || 198 || 84 || 11 || 2.0 || 1.2 || 9.0 || 2.6 || 11.6 || 4.9 || 0.6 |- | 1995 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 24 || 45 || 36 || 208 || 114 || 322 || 126 || 32 || 1.9 || 1.5 || 8.7 || 4.8 || 13.4 || 5.3 || 1.3 |- style="background-color: #EAEAEA" | 1996 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 11 || 20 || 11 || 88 || 135 || 47 || 51 || 14 || 1.8 || 1.0 || 8.0 || 4.3 || 12.3 || 4.6 || 1.3 |- | 1997 |style="text-align:center;"|{{AFL Gee}} | 16 || 8 || 5 || 8 || 35 || 19 || 54 || 15 || 2 || 0.6 || 1.0 || 4.4 || 2.4 || 6.8 || 1.9 || 0.3 |- class="sortbottom" | Career | 198 | 441 | 291 | 1757 | 822 | 2579 | 1058 | 161 | 2.2 | 1.5 | 8.9 | 4.2 | 13.0 | 5.3 | 0.9 |} Media career and life after footballWhen Brownless retired from football he moved into the media, appearing regularly on The Footy Show.

Labor leader Steve Bracks, who would go on to win the state election that year, was a Geelong supporter, and Brownless had persuaded the then Premier Jeff Kennett's wife, Felicity, to become Geelong's female number one ticket holder.[6] As of 2005, Brownless has featured on The Sunday Footy Show, as well as continuing his appearances on The Footy Show.
