Nathan Brown

[boncer34]

Just wondering whats going on with him? Obviously wont be back this year but do you guys think he can return to his brilliant style of play again?

 

[Madtiger2006]

brown was almost back to his best if a few games in the 2nd half of the season. He just missed a few goals that's all

I agree. Browny will star soon. Just needs to get a good pre-season under his belt, gain some fitness back and he'll be well back on track for a stellar 2007.

 

[Booms]

No doubt....showed all the sign...watch out in '07....this guy potentially can take us to the finals himself...he is that good.

 

[tiger4life]

yeh i agree. should b in line for a terrific 2007 if he can regain his fitness and strength/mobility in his leg which should happen over pre-season.

obviously wont have lost any magic and look forward to him being the matchwinner he was at the start of last year, and showed glimpses of just before he did his hammy.

 

[peejay]

I doubt it.

Would be nice to see him raise his set shot average to at least 50%.

 

[The BRICKSTER]

has he had the operation if so anyone know how he is doing ?

thanks

 

[Drunken Wookie]

From a mate who had the same injury- Taking the rod out it more painfull than other operations he had before hand.

This is due to the fact the bone marrow grows around and on top of the rod, causing the marrow to need cutting and clearing away. Extrememly painful. However he gained more freedom to run and felt more comfortable afterwards.

no way.

His set shot was up around fifty it was everything else that wasn't.
And I would like to see you kick perfectly straight after having a broken leg.

 

[tomthetiger]

So mini_me, you wouldnt like to see him raise his set shot accuracy to over 50%? :s Average supporter you are.

I never said I wouldnt, I just stated that his set shot wasn't that bad.

 

[Bentleigh]

brown was almost back to his best

Rubbish.

Brown will never re-find that form from first 1/2 of the last season.

 

[tomthetiger]

Bentleigh, I thought I told you to stop looking in to your crystal ball, you're ruining all the suprises.

 

[mini_me316]

Don't be so opptimistic.
You always do that, you are such a happy person.
I still can't beleive you barrack for Richmond.
You should run the AFL with the comments you make.Genius

I found the opposite when I had a similar operation. The rod came out and 2 days later the leg felt better than it had for 12 months, and for the first time I felt comfortable stepping off a single step.

I really cant understand how your mate could say that Tambo. The trauma your leg goes through having the rod inserted in pretty full on stuff, where some people are taking painkillers 2 weeks after the operation... Not to mention it's impossible to sleep for a week without Tmazapans (sleepin tabs) and that fact you're *****ing in a bottle for a week as its too painful to get out of bed for awhile.

One good thing about the morphine they give you is that it makes you constipated for a week and you have no appetite... Id have hated to have tried to get to and sit on a toilet within the first couple days of leaving hospital.


Although you do mention he had marrow that needed cutting away. Im not sure if this is normal or not and have no idea if it happened to me, as I was never told a thing by the doctors at any stage of my recovery/operations.

Also, I looked after my leg extremley well, giving it every chance of healing 100%. I also smoked a truckload of pot too, so maybe that helped somehow

Would like to know whether he'd be worth picking up in Dream Team next year.

No doubt, he'll have a reduced price for him, there was a time last year where he was the most expensive forward in the game.

However, i reckon it might be worth a punt to pick up Browny.
