Former Brisbane Lions champion Jonathan Brown has been hit by the Queensland floods, losing much of his memorabilia from his 250-game career and three premierships with the club.

Brown, who is a breakfast presenter on Melbourne radio station Nova, returned to his farm property on the Queensland/New South Wales border after his radio duties last Friday, to clean up the damage from the aftermath of Cyclone Debbie.

Amidst the wreckage was a shed where Brown had stored the keepsakes of his career in removal boxes.

"Premiership jumpers and milestone game boots, which doesn't mean anything to anyone else, it's sentimental value, I thought it would good for the kids, sitting in a removal box mind you, it probably should have been out and on display or at least framed up, anyway, so that's gone. I was a little bit flat about that," Brown said on Nova on Monday.
