AFTER 55 games for Essendon, Mitch Brown has been delisted.
Brown finished third in the Bombers' goalkicking in 2019, with 21 majors to his name.
The athletic running forward kicked three or more goals on four occasions during the 2019 season, with a match-winning four-goal, 23-disposal performance in a win against Adelaide arguably the best game of his career.
Brown received a second chance at Essendon after being cut by Geelong at the end of 2014.
The versatile forward arrived at Tullamarine via the 2015 NAB AFL Draft and played 21 games in his first year while most of Essendon's list were forced to sit out the season due to the supplements saga.
He finishes his career with 68 goals from 70 matches across eight seasons at Geelong and Essendon.

Brown joins Zac Clarke, Jake Long, Trent Mynott, Ben McNeice, Tom Jok and Jordan Houlahan in the delistings, while Mark Baguley, David Myers and Matt Dea have retired.
