Corey Brown Picture: Stuart Quinn Source: Quest Newspapers Ashgrove's Corey Brown is hopeful of taking part in tonight's A-League do or die clash between Brisbane Roar and Sydney FC in the final round of the regular season. The 19-year-old defender has not been named in the starting 11 but will be on the bench. Brown, who played junior football with The Gap Gators, made his third A-League appearance last weekend against Melbourne Heart in a game which kept Brisbane in with a shot of making the finals series for a third straight season. ``I feel like I played pretty well," Brown said about last weekend's game. ``I'm just happy to have helped the team as we get close to the finals. Brown may have to take a place on the bench tonight should Socceroo Jade North return to the starting line-up. He says he has learned a lot from North, as well as fellow left-back Shane Stefanutto. ``They've helped me a lot, Shane especially. He's mentored me in my role in the club - If he plays well, I play well. Brown isn't getting carried away with the prospect of taking on the `Sky Blues, which include Italian star striker Alessandro Del Piero. ``You don't think about that sort of thing during the game, but maybe afterwards, we'll shake hands and I'll look back on it. Brown began the season in the Roar's National Youth League team, and signed a senior level contract in May. ``I'm happy to have broken through, and hopefully I can continue this into next season. Brisbane Roar takes on Sydney FC tonight at Suncorp Stadium. Kick-off is at 7pm.
