Jonathan Brown Quotations

Yep, I'll stay a Brisbane Lion, you've heard it first.

Whenever the occasion arose, he rose to the occasion.

My favourite quality workout is 6 X 5 minutes with 1 minute rest between each.

I can't see myself leaving the club I grew up supporting... it's one of those things, the money's great but I still get paid reasonably well from the Lions and at the end of the day I think job satisfaction is the No.1 priority and I just love it up here.

He hit the ball about 25 yards out and scored. It was a cracking goal.

Our first intent was to squeeze the blood out of our local turnip. That was the general game plan for everybody. But it's come to the point where we've squeezed that turnip as much as we can.

My wife and I came to Canada for the 1994 Commonwealth Games and we really liked the B.C. lifestyle and environment. The following year we applied to become permanent residents. We moved here in 1996 after the Atlanta Olympics.

That was probably the most difficult time for me; it was not only that I wasn't on campus, but I wasn't with the guys, ... I've been here since 1997, and these kids -- I've brought them all the way through. I've spent so much time with those kids.

When the Colts lost to the Steelers, my interest in the playoffs ended.

We played about a thousand times better than we did in our scrimmages.

We have been in Victoria for 3 years now after moving here from Vancouver. Victoria is a great place to live and we plan on staying especially as the kids are now in school.

Twice a week I'll run fast quality workouts either on the track or road.

To be honest, I am surprised, ... But they've been around the kids who have been state champions. They're still trying to pride themselves on the defenses of the past, and they're looking to be better than the class before . . . Our ultimate goal is to get the goose egg and if we don't get it, we at least want to get the offense in position to score.

Even though I will be a Canadian by the end of this year the thought of having to work with Athletics Canada is not appealing right now.

I've completed the first part of my preparations without injury problems. My speed is good and I'm doing lots of volume for strength.

These specialty crops require a lot of care and work. They have to be packed and shipped in a different and careful way.

The British have given me good support for the last 8 years and have always believed in me.

It's an older car, but the track doesn't know how old it is.

For 6 days a week I aim to get in between 18-23 miles.

The internet has exacerbated the problem enormously because it's given everybody the potential to re-sell tickets,

I'm surprised how much time each legislator puts into this job.

If my training goes well and according to plan I feel that I am capable of a top 8 finish in Athens. It will be a very difficult and technical course which will be to my advantage.

I'm not sure whether you call it loyalty but I've got a lot of things I still want to achieve in Brisbane itself, with this club.

Call it loyalty, call it what you want, but I suppose I've got people up here who I'm really tight with, we've made a lot of great bonds over the last few years and I've got people in my corner I can trust.

He picked up the defense so quick . . . he's an unselfish player.
