Wallace: Brown in top shape

RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace says vice-captain Nathan Brown is in the best shape of his career.
Looking fit and beefed-up at the beach yesterday, Brown showed he was well on the way to full recovery after breaking his leg in Round 10 last season.
He first trained in October and, on Wednesday, joined the first skills session after the Christmas break. Wallace said Brown, 27, was on track for a Round 1 return.
"Browny's in fantastic nick . . . probably in the best nick of his career," Wallace said.
"He's just getting the strength and confidence back in the leg and doing full training now. Obviously he's not doing any competitive work, but he's joining in full training routines.
"Our plan has always been looking towards Round 1 and giving him a couple of games.
"Whether that's late NAB Cup or practice matches depends on where we are. That's always been our strategy."
Matthew Richardson, who had a knee drained, also joined his teammates in the water at Kerferd Rd. Mark Chaffey is the only player still sidelined.
"We're very pleased. We've got everyone basically on track," Wallace said.
"Mark Chaffey had a groin injury and had it operated on, so he's a fortnight away from full training."
Richmond's first intraclub practice match will be at Ballarat next month.

Brown set for return
Sportal
Terry Wallace has recovering star Nathan Brown slated for a round one return as he continues his rehabilitation from a badly broken leg.
"He needs to have everything go right. Our aim is for him to play round one, but he just can't afford any hiccups along the way," said Wallace.
Brown will play with a stabilising rod inserted in the right leg which was sickeningly fractured against Melbourne at Telstra Dome in round 10 last season.
Wallace understands the intense interest in the return of the dual All-Australian, but says a lot of water must pass under the bridge before he retakes the field.
"Obviously all eyes will be on Brownie - he's where a lot of it's at - still if you watch him train, he trains with a limp, but that's expected at this stage," he said.
"We're 14 weeks off round one. That's still a damn long time and there's a lot of rehabilitation to come. If you were coming back from a knee reconstruction 14 weeks out - you go a long way in 14 weeks. We still think he's on schedule and he's getting better every session."
Brown is currently taking part in most training sessions and continues to undergo regular treatment on the affected leg.
