He’s ready for your questions.
DNA’s Man of the Year, Mitch Brown, joins the premiere episode of GayFL on JOY 94.9 tonight. The show airs at 6pm AEDT on Wednesday, 10 December.
Brown made history in August 2025 when he came out as bisexual. He became the first male AFL player, current or former, to identify as queer in the sport’s 128-year history publicly.
The former West Coast Eagles defender played 94 games across a decade-long career. He won the club’s Chris Mainwaring Medal in 2012 for his contributions on and off the field.
