Mail is that Brown will miss this week with a stress fracture to the foot. :gobdrop
Source is the Sauce :thumbsup :lol

I believe Richmond may to toying with the option of playing Brown with an injection in the foot.
I would have thought the only way to treat a stress fracture is to keep off.
Does anyone know?
-
Terry just said Brown had the week off like he does every 4weeks to work exclusively on skills. :thumbsup
-
I believe that the club is once again keeping its supporters in the dark.
MT, you would be best to comment on this. Has Brown been having one week off in every 4?
I dont think he has.
If Nathan Brown has a stress fracture, i think the club should be straight up front about it and stop the spin doctoring.
-
Terry sounded very confident about it by saying(not direct quote but bloody close) "every person who has been at training over the pre-season would know Brown takes 1 out of every 4 weeks off to work on skills.

well he hasnt , so stop being a pessimist
if he had one, he would not have been at training having a light session with the rehab group
if he had one , he would have worn a brace as did JON
some tool just noticed he was absent and made up crap, not knowing what exactly is going on
never assUme
-
i have heard about this stress fracture in the foot and ... having 1 of 4 weels off ...
so we just have to see come sunday 5:00 if he is in the yellow and black ...
we need him playing !
-
IF he does appear on Sunday, will play with an injection in his foot.
Decision will be made on Sunday morning ;)
-
As I said in the other thread Browny would have a session off each week rather than a whole week off at once every 4 weeks.
IF he does appear on Sunday, will play with an injection in his foot.
Decision will be made on Sunday morning ;)
If he has a stress fracture he shouldn't be playing at all. Is he going to have injections for 22 weeks because the stress fracture won't be allowed to heal properly with rest.

I hope that's rubbish. ??? :pray
Wallace said Browny will train this week and will play midfield and forward but they've said he's been ready to go before in '06.

Leg hot spot foils Brown
Mike Sheahan
Herald-Sun
March 30, 2007 12:00am
RICHMOND star Nathan Brown has a "hot spot" in the leg broken so graphically almost two years ago.
Coach Terry Wallace confirmed last night Brown would not take his place in the selected team for Sunday's Round 1 clash with Carlton at the MCG.
The forward will miss at least two games, perhaps more, after just 10 games in each of the past two seasons.
The hot spot, only 5cm below the break that derailed his career 22 months ago, was revealed in a scan yesterday.
It is a bitter blow for Brown, 29, and his club after indications he was on track to return to his stellar form of the first half of 2005.
Richmond had planned a media conference before training this afternoon to announce the development, but came clean last night after inquiries from the Herald Sun.
An hour after football operations manager Paul Armstrong denied the story, coach Terry Wallace called to apologise on Armstrong's behalf and confirm the story.
"He's not going to play," Wallace said.
"It's a stress reaction. If you keep going on it, they end up becoming a stress fracture.
"The good news is we caught it early and before it became a major issue.
"It's normally a 20-day injury and he's been off it for 10 days" Wallace said. "He's just got to keep resting it 'til the hot spot goes away. I guarantee it isn't a stress fracture and the original fracture has healed."
The concern, though, is yet another problem in his right leg. The alarm bells started ringing when Brown was seen limping out of Richmond's pre-season launch on Monday night.
He tried to train at the club's MCG session mid-week, but hobbled off the ground soon after jogging out.
Wallace said Brown was bitterly disappointed.
"His last game (the Mildura practice game against Collingwood) was his best game (this year)," Wallace said.
"He reckons he was playing as good a footy as he was prior to the injury."
Brown snapped his lower leg in a tangle with Melbourne's Matthew Whelan during the Round 10 game against Melbourne on May 27, 2005.
He had kicked 34 goals in 10 games and was at the pinnacle of his then nine-season career with the Western Bulldogs and Richmond.
Brown joins Troy Simmonds and Mark Coughlan on the sidelines for the opening of the new season.

At least they've done one thing right and not played him with a painkilling jab.

Good scoop there Bull. you should ring me more often ;) ;)
Sauce says he will miss 4 games ;)
Now where is Terry Wallace ? Didnt he say that Browny was ready to go on Monday. :o
Just keep feeding the fans crap terry and you have no supporters eventually. ::)
-
Are we ever gonna get a break from these injuries? :-\
It's just one after another :banghead
-
Good to see the OER is first with all the goss.
Herald Sun take till friday to print it. Come on Mike Sheenan , lift your game ;)
-
Well its time to hit all my dream teams as brownie is in each one. For all my fellow dream teamers, I will probably replace him with Fiora. :rollin :rollin :lol :whistle
-
Wouldn't it have been smarter to say Browny would miss then surprise everyone on gameday if the event the scan came back with good news. Why do we always pretend a player is fine when "sauces" :clapping know otherwise!
Well its time to hit all my dream teams as brownie is in each one. For all my fellow dream teamers, I will probably replace him with Fiora. :rollin :rollin :lol :whistle
Yep same here tiga :-\. As you say we'll have to replace him with some cheap dud ;D
-
Ouch! That hurts. Missing our two best players, hard to see us winning without Brown.
Decision will be made on Sunday morning ;)
'return to sender' on that mail Jacko.

Can tell you they were going to leave it to the last minute but the media got wind of it and thats why they had to tell the TRUTH earlier than they wanted

Yeah well like you Jacko I'm getting a little tired of this misinformation campaign by the rfc this year. First Simmonds, who isn't actually available til at least rnd 4, and now Brown who is rnd 3. I mean poo does this really impact on memberships? Would people seriously not buy one because Brown is injured? How vain of people if that's true!

BUMP

Shame Wallace Shame
Stop feeding us crap, i am getting sick of it.

Doesn't really say much for the fitness guys. Do they ever consider alternative treatments? What about a hypobaric chamber?

The only thing they use is the solarium ::)

Is it karma, asks injured Brown
AAP
March 30, 2007
RICHMOND forward Nathan Brown admits two years of injury setbacks have him worried and questioning his karma.
Brown will miss the start of the AFL season because of inflammation in the right leg he broke horrifically almost two years ago.
That broken leg also delayed his start to the 2006 season and then ended it prematurely because of prolonged soreness.
Although confident he can return to his besr, Brown, 29, said his ongoing battle with injury made him wonder if the footy gods were against him.
"It's more anger now because I've missed so much footy," he said.
"It gets to the point where you start to believe in karma, all the bad things you've done in your life start to outweigh all the bad things that have come back and happened to you.
"I reckon I'm ahead on that ledger at the moment and hopefully a bit of luck is coming my way.
"There's a little bit of doom and gloom with a few of the Richmond supporters who are ringing me and asking me what's wrong, but I'm confident in saying I can get back to where I was two years ago.
"I'm confident in saying I can get back and be better than that because I was very happy with my performance over the pre-season and this has just come at a disastrous time."
Brown felt soreness in his right leg last week but was still confident he could play Carlton at the MCG on Sunday.
However the soreness persisted until Wednesday and scans showed there was some inflammation about two centimetres below the fracture he suffered halfway through the 2005 season.
He now faces an uncertain stint on the sidelines, probably of at least the first three games.
Brown said the inflammation could have developed into a stress fracture had he and the Tigers not decided on a rest.
Tigers coach Terry Wallace said the hardest part of managing Brown's complete return from the broken leg was being unable to compare the injury to others because it was unique in its severity.
Richmond has named Chris Hyde in the forward flank to replace Brown in the side to play the Blues.

Understatement of the year there Browny.
Btw stop ringing Browny up Jack :rollin.

We are miles behind in that regard when you see the Swans use a scientific approach which has paid off big time.

Brown views injury as bad karma
Michael Gleeson | March 31, 2007
The Age
NATHAN Brown had not missed a training session or a practice match. He recorded his fastest sprint over 20 metres. He had played a game against Collingwood in Mildura that rivalled his best form of two years ago. Then his leg started hurting again.
After nearly 18 months of gradual recovery and painstaking steps towards returning to his best form, Brown must now wait another two to three weeks before he can start his season.
The dynamic Richmond forward has swelling in his leg just centimetres below where he snapped his shin bones and is likely to miss at least two matches and possibly as many as four games.
"The doctors tell me it is nothing to do with the fracture, they say that has healed completely. I went and got X-rays and everything is normal there and I don't know if it is bad luck, but they are telling me it is nothing to do with that," Brown said.
"You have got to admit it is worrying when it is only a couple of centimetres off where you broke your leg, but doctors are telling me and the scans show that my leg is a hundred per cent solid."
Brown felt that after his injury, he was due a change of fortune. Now he feels he is owed that change. "It gets to the point where you start to believe in karma," he said. "I reckon I'm a little bit ahead on that ledger at the moment and hopefully a little bit of luck's coming my way.
"I'm confident in saying that I can get back to where I was two years ago and I'm confident in saying that I can get back and be better than that because I was very happy with my performance and my training over the pre-season and this has just come at a disastrous time.
"It is normally a two-, three-, four-week injury depending on how bad it is and most blokes start training basically after two weeks.
"During the pre-season, I didn't feel my leg once," Brown said. "It felt fantastic, I had all my range back, all my sideways movement, I got the best 20-metre sprint time I had had since I started football, so I guess if it is related to it, it is just bad luck."

why does our good players get injured ???
why can't Tivendale or Moore get injured ???
oh thats right, because they don't go for the ball, so they can't get hurt !

Moore gets injured a lot, for starters.
I find your second question disgusting and unworthy of a supporter of a club , and your final statement a complete load of bollocks .

Nothing to do with Browny but the Saints Matt Maguire will miss 6-8 weeks with fractures himself. Just further proof returning from a badly broken leg to play AFL footy is a big ask with the ongoing problems.
