Leaner, Meaner Brown.

[mattys123]

Seems like Nathan Brown has slimmed down a bit from last year, saying he has lost some of his "puppy fat" and gone from 100kgs down to 96.

About time, always thought he was just a little bit too big the last 2 years.

he 21-year-old is boasting a noticeably leaner and stronger body, a credit to the amount of work he has endured since the end of the 2009 season.

“Its very important to find that balance between strength and fitness,” Brown told CTV inside the Lexus Centre after training.

“Last year I got up to 100 kilos and put on a lot of strength. This year I have dropped a lot of puppy fat and have toned it down to about 98 or 96 kilos.

Does look like his has lost some puppy fat

While on-field success plays an important part in Brown’s 2010 goals, he is also focusing on emulating the passion and pride his teammates, namely Nick Maxwell and Harry O’Brien, display every week.

“That’s going to be another one of my goals this year is to leave everything out on the field and give 100%. That’s what I would like to do this year. Play with passion.

“That’s what those guys are able to do week in and week out and that’s what I aim to do.”

Shows there his love for the Club

[danielnajdek]

Good lord he is massive.

More toned then last year

this time last year he was barrell chested now he has the v shaped toned look, power shoulders and core down

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Excellent news. Hopefully it helps him stay with the more agile forwards.

Agreed. He was 'bigger' last year, but you can't carry too much muscle onto an AFL field. (Tristan Walker)

Hopefully he gets back to the form of his debut season, will be integral in '11 when Presti is gone.

 

[Frankie23]

He know looks like an AFL full-back , however there are still issues to sort out with his kicking, but that can be fixed (hopefully)

Kept the power and improved the agility hopefully.

 

[Lockyer24]

Yeah he got too beefcake, needs to get back to that speed he showed during draft camp. Reckon he is the sleeper on our list with the biggest upside almost (with Daisy)

 

[doppleganger]

Be very handy if he is trying to play further up the ground, ie CHB and on the more mobile forwards, whilst Presti takes the gorillas!

Will be a great player for us.

Shaping up to be the cornerstone of our backline for the next 10 years! Form and injury permitting naturally.
