Player Watch #35: Nathan Broad

[Hoos]

Are you rapt Hoos or wrapped? lol Didn't think we'd lose him as we had the funds for him and who would go to WCE in their current state.

Very happy with the news. As we were discussing elsewhere, I would have been very surprised had he left and that's the way it's turned out. So much for the garbage rumours that had him going back to WA, lol.

 

[Lacustrus]

Great Ferkyn news !

I like how the club rewards loyalty and success - well done RFC

 

[tony__montana]

Yeah great news

 

[smasha]

Congrats Nate Broad on your new deal.

Has been been our best defender for awhile. Probably since the point when Grimes form started slipping. Balta has the most potential but his mental slips in key parts of games knock him down a peg (although I believe he will still get past that ala Rance).

Broad locked down Cameron when he was "the best player in the comp" just a few weeks ago. Important signing.

About time we got some positive news.
love the loyalty Broady, man's a asset to the club.

Never in Doubt !!

He wanted 3 years we wanted 2
talk of eagles $800k deal was always bulltish and the offer would have been similar maybe 100k more over the 2 years

Said a few months back that his business interests are Melbourne based and there is no real financial benefit for him to move back west.

Reckon he took a 2+1 with triggers

Good deal either way he’s a top class defender

Broad re-signing is huge for the club in my opinion. I really thought he'd leave us at the end of the year for some reason

I reckon he should be our next captain.

Now we dont lose him for nothing after we take Himmelberg as a free agent

Well done Nathan ....a Tiger for life ....has shown himself to be a fine footballer and true Richmond man

Fantastic news. Really would like to see him being more attacking with the ball. He has great skills and great run, sometimes wonder what he would look like on the wing would get out on his own a lot but he is too good a defender to stuff around with that

Bit soon maybe?

Bit soon maybe?

He will have a Brownlow hanging around his neck by then

He could be !

Himmelberg auditioning this weekend for a role at Tigerland?

He will kick 3/4 and have 20

Judd was Carlton captain before he walked in the door lol. So if voted in by the players then all for it.

yep complete nonsense, probably managers sparking rumors he was never getting offered that much.
also he is only short-term player 3-4 years at best for both clubs didn't really suit Eagles imo.

 

[year of the tiger]

Heard that he was interviewed before the Dimma news broke and in his words had to tell a few porkies. The fact he was one of the first told by Dimma himself suggests that he is part of the unannounced leadership group and that he is invested in the Tigers
