Nathan Brown

[_RT_]

Following on from the Bowden trade question and seeing that most would not trade him primarily because he is Richmond born and bred I thought I would raise Nathan Brown as a possibilty for trade. So again if a good deal was put forward from an opposition club that would snare us 2 good draft picks or a young kid with potential and a second round pick would you trade Brown our of Richmond?

I know he is a proven match winner but will Brown still be that match winner if it takes us 2-3 more years to become a contender for a finals spot.

FWIW I would not trade out Brown, he has shown in his comeback that given time to get his fitness levels back up to where he was he could still be very good for us. Plus the near on 2 full seasons hs missed would see his body less banged up than another player his age (except for the leg).

No, primarily because I believe he still has 3-4 good seasons left in him. As you say RT, apart from the leg, his body hasn't been overly taxed.

At his best, he can make any side 2-4 goals better than they are without him and if we're pushing hard for finals in 2-3 years time, that sort of player is often the difference - and they're not very easy to get hold of.

No

Realistically, his trade value wouldnt be enticing enough to entertain the thought of trading him, even so, hes our only genuine matchwinner and the position he plays he will be valuable for a fair few more years yet.

 

[kainokaino]

NO NO NO NO NO

he is the only one on our list whos skills you can trust week in week out

 

[.Shotties.]

I wouldn't even think of it. Every time he got the ball in our forward line on Saturday I became uneasy.

 

[emperor]

why trade a proven matchwinning gun for unproven draft picks or lesser talented players from another side. Let's not go down the trading to build a side path again, keep developing our own players.

[bigpapagman]

[kainokaino]

36-1

[Richo is God]

no way, hes a magician

 

[jko'neal]

No for me on Browny, hopefully will finish off the season well fitness wise and move up the ground a bit more next season.
However IMO it would be in the clubs best interest to walk into the trade sessions with everyone up for trade, just to see whats put on the table as an offer.

 

[Punt_Road_Roar]

LMAO let's play spot the idiot.

 

[bigpapagman]

43-1.

swooper 33 you are an idiot. explain yourself.

 

[lucas_hsv]

Err, that should still be only 1 vote under yes. My bad.

 

[Tigerdream]

It's a no from me, we need him to teach "the way of the champion" to edwards.
