In 2019 Emanuel College in Warrnambool and St Joseph’s College in Geelong played the first game of AFL, fielding separate matches at Year 7 and at Year 8. An “away” game over at Warrnambool followed by a “home game” in Geelong is held. Matches are always competitive yet played in excellent sportsmanship with Best on Ground awards after each match plus a chance to chat with opposing players. It was decided that these matches will be played for the Brown-Ling Cup. Jonathan Brown completed Year 12 at Emmanuel College in Warrnambool in 1999 and Cameron Ling completed Year 12 at St Joseph’s College in Geelong in 1999.

A combined school score will decide who will hold the Brown-Ling Cup with the most wins out of the four games for the year-deciding glory!!

Jonathan Brown: Widely regarded as one of the premier players in the competition, Brown is a three-time club Best and fairest winner, two-time All Australian (2007 and 2009), one-time Coleman Medallist and three-time AFL premiership player.

Cameron Ling: Hard running midfield who had dogged determination, Ling is a one-time club Best and Fairest winner, one time All Australian (2007) and three-time AFL premiership player.
