BigFooty? Hardly reliable.

No, that's why I put the rider in the subject line.
But wouldn't surprise me or anyone else.
The only credence it has is it didn't come from a Bulldogs supporter lol
-
Hopefully it's crap.
I thought it is going to be Aaron Hamill.
-
Don't think Browny is ready to pull the pin on his career just yet.
-
terry was saying about how brownys back to runnning a few days ago
why would he say that if he was ritiring?
also why would it be found out on the footy show it would be all over the news yeah?
just my thoughts that we would have herd!
and its a good site but alot of crap comes off bigfooty
-
spoke to a mate at the club about it briefly.
Will be talking again in the next day or so.
The simple answer to my statement of "Browny's not coming back is he" was,
"I really dont know where he's at"
which n itself is a worry.
It's seems to me that Browny is willing to throw it in.
I'll find out more later.
-
I seriously hope it's not true :'(
-
guys it is not true ... rumors !
i also heard that Buckley will retire after ANZAC match (but not playing) ???
so its bullsh*t !

in the end who really cares
his contract is up, he is not worth re- signing. unless he takes base rates.
i was told when his leg broke from a nurse who was in his operating theatre that he will most likely never play again, she told me if he oplays he will have ongoing problems . his leg shattered, wasnt a complete break and the rod they put in was too short, total medical f up.
anyway thats what i was told
karma does bite ppl
all players who leave clubs in recent times to find success have bad luck
brown with us
otto with geelong
aker will have at the doggies
buckley at colingwood(ok not injury wise, but if he stayed he would have been a trople lion premiership captain)
most blue chip players who betray their teams in recent times have bad luck unless ur greg williams

What a load of crap X.
I'm insulted that u think we're stupid enough for you to be able to drop your drug induced fantasiies on.
LMAO@ The general vagueness of,"from a nurse who was in his operating theatre"
Gimmee a break ffs :P
If i was u i would be going around saying,
"SEE - I TOLD YOU ALL WHEN IT HAPPENED THAT HE WOULD NEVER PLAY AGAIN"as that is what i said,
however i dont feel it necessary to pump myself up about being correct about a situation before it happened.
I'm sure you were one for believng browny was gonna be fine originally,but now u pull out the one about "a nurse"

reminds me of Jamie Lawson from the Swans never recovered
-
Stick to topic and off the insults >:(
:cheers
-
when he does not recover fully and hardly gets close to his opld self , i will be the one to tell u i told you so
he is damaged goods, no need to re-sign him
i doubt very much he will play much footy again
hhe is just a player, just like everyone else. better off developing a kid rather than hoping he may come good.
everytime you see him on tv he looks a broken degected man, his eyes say to me that he will never come back and is only living in hope
this 21 day injury has dragged on a bit, there is no hot spot, the bone is fracturing and crumbling , and why is he still limping!!!!???
-
eff off u wanker
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
is that the best you can come up with,
whats so sad it even makes you laugh
sad sad boy
run back to mummy
-
I must admit I am starting to have my doubts and even if he does get back can he put in 3 or 4 more years of QUALITY. Time will tell but not holding my breath any longer.
Did we get some kind of curse put on us after 82 cause fair dinkum we could destroy Judd if he came to Richmond.
Examples Davey at Essendon 1 year taking players on and backing himself and looks good, Tambling ? still in the works.
Heath Shaw coming along in leaps and bounds and Raines going backwards.
WTF have we done wrong, did we pizz of a tribal elder or something, I am really getting convinced we have peed of some voodoo god or something. Wish they would come out and tell us so we could make a sacrifice or something to appease the gods. :banghead :banghead
On a side note looks like Sth Africa haven't overcome thier demons with Oz either 5/27 ;D

That's what his brother Aaron did for a few years but look at him this year. Rainesy wasn't too bad last week. I wouldn't be using the Pies or Dons as examples for us to follow anyway. They're in our mediocre category. You've got to laugh at Essendon people bagging our gameplan when they dish out the chip chip along the boundary garbage they played yesterday :whistle.

No curse. We have just been our own worst enemy most of the time for the past 25 years. The other few times like Browny have been one of those tragic footy events that happens to all clubs for whatever reason - Coleman, Greening (although it was thuggery in his case), Freezer, etc.... West Coast and Adelaide are still winning despite not having their best player on the park. Top sides have depth in quantity and quality. Only Victorian clubs still think a handful of stars can carry them to a flag.

Really??? If true, sounds like Browny and the club sue the surgeon on the grounds of medical negligence. And your nurse friend's job would be in jeophardy for blabbing. Whatever happened to patient confidentiality?

one, she isnt a friend of mine and two, from what i am aware, browny was told that the rod was a bit short and he would have to wait a week or so dfor a ne one to be made or go ahead with a slightly shorter one, he apparantley signed the go ahead and agreed.
just relaying what i have been told
now about confidentiality what a crock
will nick stevens sue because channel 7 already new he was gone for the yr??????
-
by the way, have you ever tried to sue a doc for med neg and win.
hospitals and doc blunders kill 1,000s of ppl a year, i dont see anyone getting sued, they are a protected species
-
I have no medical experience but the leg fully healed and the rod has been taken out so i cant see how that can be a problem ??? ??? ???
We have had our fair share of bad luck with Freeza, Justin Charles and possibly Browny.

i know the rod is out but the leg is not fully healed thats why he is having ongoing problems
his leg was not a clean break like newmans, his bone shatered and splintered badly
mguire gad a nasty one too, but not as bad as browns
he will never stop limping imho

I wanted to comment on Brown a few weeks back but i couldnt back up what i was told as it was more a secondhand opinion from one of the fitness staff than actual fact but seeing that everyman and his puppy is having an opinion here i will say that there is a feeling that perhaps for his long term health and general well being that he give it up and be put on as as assistant.The actual scenario being is that Nathan is a very determined and focused individual and he wont do that until he is has exhausted every avenue possible to be able to get back on track.So basically its a waiting game with an unknown timeframe which will be determined by him and him alone.I suggest we all just forget about him, focus on the rest of the team and the youngsters waiting in the wings and consider it a bonus if he runs out for us again, whether it might be next week,a few weeks, months, next year or perhaps never....its in the lap of the gods.
-
i think we should forget about him and if we resign him at years end we are crazy. he will be a liability, its sad yes, its not gr8, but we cant change what has happened and he is not the only star to bow out cos of injury
-
Even David King admits Browny's career in the lap of the gods.
King, however, did not have any clearer picture on when star forward Nathan Brown would return.
Brown, who did not join his teammates for a run on the MCG yesterday, has not played this season after a hot spot flared up in the leg he broke almost two years ago.
"He is the million-dollar question," King said.
"We talk about Nathan every week and probably can't give you anything more concrete than what we did last week.
"There's nothing extra, it's just complications that he has had for a number of months now.
"I think Nathan's wellbeing long-term is more our concern than just winning this week."

Brown's fear for future
29 April 2007 Sunday Herald Sun
Jon Rakph and David Reed
RICHMOND forward Nathan Brown said yesterday he expected to miss at least another three weeks of football and admitted he was facing the biggest test of his AFL career.
While Brown has been able to get back on the training track in the past week, he needs to build fitness and stay pain-free.
Brown hopes he has turned the corner after a stress fracture relating to the leg he broke in 2005, but admits a return date is uncertain.
"To be honest, I have got no idea (when I'll be back)," he said.
"The doctors are trying to figure it out. It is just a pain thing which will be guiding by me.
"I actually have to have two weeks of solid football training before I play, because of the risk of soft-tissue injury with calves and hamstrings."
Brown told Triple M that, while he remained positive, he had never faced such a challenge as returning from a potentially career-ending injury.
"I would be lying if I said it wasn't worrying me and I think about it a fair bit," he said.
"Everything has come along fairly easily for me for most of my football career. I have played some good football, played in some finals in my early years at the Bulldogs, everything was going well at Richmond - and now everything is turned upside down.
"It's something I really have to deal with internally myself and it's been hard, but everyone has tough times in their life. I am sure I will get through it and be fine."
Coach Terry Wallace said he believed Brown could still play a role this year.
"If you had asked me (if I was concerned) a week ago, the answer would have been yes," Wallace said. "It has been a concern he hasn't been out there, but the signs are on the improve. He is pain-free for the first time in probably a month."

-
Even if Browny returns he won't know for sure if his leg really right again until he's played a few games on end.
-
Deep down he doesnt want to play again.
Cant u tell by his words people??
If he wanted tto,the pain would be something he put up with...but thats not what he is

No time frame on Brown's return: Wallace
AAP
Tuesday, May 1, 2007
Richmond coach Terry Wallace says he is unable to put a time frame on injured forward Nathan Brown's return.
Brown continues to suffer soreness from a stress reaction in his leg and Wallace says the club is frustrated the injury is making little progress.
Wallace says specialists are unsure why the injury has not responded to treatment and cannot provide a definitive answer on why Brown continues to suffer setbacks in his rehabilitation.
Wallace says he doesn't have any plans that include Brown being available to play anytime soon.

It doesn't sound good for Browny :(. We've gone from 21 days to 6 weeks to now indefinite with no sign his leg is getting better.
-
This was always gonna be a challenge.
Part of playing on was accepting the fact that there will be pain - always.
IMO,He doesn't have the heart to want to. :banghead
-
Plough said today one day they get a good report on Browny and then the next a bad one. It's been going on and off like that for weeks.
-
How's our luck ?
FMD!
-
MT, you attended pre-season training right?
How did Brown possibly get through all the sessions and get to peak fitness and play a few practice matches with his leg in such a state?
This doesn't make sense. It's not like it was an injury he suddenly sustained. The leg has been stuffed for almost 2 years and the poor bloke can't even walk now, yet he got through the preseason training with flying colors.
Something just doesn't add up.

Yep he trained the whole way through IIRC and did most of the sessions. He said he felt the pain due to the hot spot for the first time after the Mildura game and we haven't seen him since.
I can't explain it either but perhaps they should be resting him from any leg activity for a while even if he loses a little bit of conditioning in the legs as a result so the leg can heal properly instead of testing him each week and putting stress on it which just makes it flair up again ???.

From the Herald-Sun:
Wallace said the club was unable to put a time frame on injured forward Nathan Brown's return.
Brown, who is yet to play a senior game this year, has been sidelined with a stress fracture relating to the leg he broke in 2005.
Wallace said Brown was frustrated that doctors could not determine why the injury was not improving. "We must have been to four or five different specialists to cover off anything that you could possible cover off," Wallace said.
"We don't know where it sits and no one can give us an absolute definitive answer on it."
Wallace said an initial diagnosis had the soreness in Brown's leg subsiding after four weeks, but the pain remained six weeks later.
"As he keeps having setbacks, you keep having to stop his progress and start all over again. Well, that makes it difficult," Wallace said.
"We've got to have our plans without Nathan involved . . . and then he becomes a bonus if and when he becomes available."
