Player Watch #35: Nathan Broad

[Philth]

groundbreaking news from Cal. it's on microfiche at the state library

Feb 26, 2025:
"Two years and I'm done," Broad told Triple M on Wednesday.
A desire to return to his home state of Western Australia and be closer to his family will become a priority for the 148-gamer once he sees out his 11th season at Punt Road. "I'm from Western Australia, my wife is from Western Australia. I'm content, I know when my time is up."

( o )( o )

Can anyone beat this for post of the year?

BH has set the bar pretty high here.

Richmond under use the MSD. 5 ACLs 3 spots, left Dr Benway go West.

Grigg is the only time a player Retired before the MSD.
MSD is not the draft pool to find flag players. We need Ruck, quick mids.

Broad has a brain fade every game, but 6 marks is bang on career average. Trainor ripe to step in

Caddy retired before the MSD too.

 

[Philth]

Will leave at the end of the season. Off to WA according to Cal Twomey

Come on Eagles. Offer him a 5 year deal. You know you want to.....

 

[SMILLIE]

Fair enough, been a great servant.

Who was the Bomber that met Tassie?

Believe it was Bewick their F/S prospect for 27’ draft

Thanks for quoting my post about "how Broad went on the weekend?"

Your response is perfect, that makes a lot of sense.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Basically announced his retirement

 

[sante]

I thought it had been common knowledge for a while now that he was finishing up at the end of 2026

Common knowledge to us Richmond people, everyone else has their heads in the sand

 

[Yze does it]

Caddy retired before the MSD too.

Correct Used it on Bauer.

Castagna we used on Coulthard or Tresize.

I was thinking of salary cap . Rookie list vs main list. Took a year before the cap frees up.

Struggling to spend salary cap these days.

 

[tropicaltiger]

No club is offering broad a contract

 

[Danog]

We wont get anything if Broad leaves anyway. Hope he gets a 2 year deal at West Coast. Has earned it.

That’s it, hopefully wherever he lands he cashes in and makes bank

It’s an old cliche but he owes us nothing and deserves anything good that comes his way

 

[THE_GUN]

Maybe Blair should have a conversation with Matty Clarke

Package deal Hopper & Broad

Wow.

Two bags of Twisties.

 

[Bojangles17]

He’s a great club man broady played three ripping GF would be great for 12m for wc

Bizarre 'journalism'

2 year deal….. lol if a club gives him that the recruitment team should be sacked.

 

[Football Tragic]

If he is offered a two year deal at an average wage, what, if any, compensation would we receive?

 

[GhostofJimJess]

None I would think. His age alone would disqualify any compo.

 

[richoplzbreed]

Has been a phenomenal pickup and great servant. With Baker, Graham, Matt Clarke can see a reunion, they're puss.... so surely they'll offer broad a 1 year deal with triggers for 2. In all honesty majority of the year he's been a total liability. Part ways end of year. A paltry FA compo pick will be handy though considering Leys, Daffy and Armstrong.

 

[The Mighty]

Hes not playingon at another club hes done he;s said so multiple times.

He wanted to stick around and help set the club and juniors on their way after everything he has achieved and what the clu have done for him.

He's going home and his missus is from WA as well.

Hes stated categorically hes not playing on after he finishes at Richmond.

Media are w***ers trying to drum up a story that isnt here.

He will still be going home

Whats wrong with earning another $350k-$400k playing and teaching their pathetic defenders

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Wow.

Empty or full?!

You are a long time retired!
I’d have no issue if he changed his mind and got a gig in the west for a year or so.

The eagles should Rookie list Broad
2 year contract $350kx2 years

He could be a playing coach effectively not taking up a list spot
