#16 Nathan Brown

[regan is true fullback]

There's a mature age small forward still running around that we can get for next to nothing. He was once compared to the great man Peter Daicos but he's been injured and out of form lately, injury free and with a good preseason he could be a handy addition to our team. His name is Alan Didak...

There's a couple of handy young ruckmen running around in the reserves. Old Jolley is not getting any younger and Leigh Brown's retired so these two could step up to the plate sooner rather than later. Their names are Wood and Witts...

There is a young bloke who lost all form after injury. He can play forward and midfield and he deserves a second chance. His name is Dayne Beams...

There's a young half back flanker who can play a bit. With the right coaching he could be the ideal replacement for Ben Johnson who is nearing the end of his great career. His name is Marty Clarke...

Nathan will be cherry ripe for 2012 and it will make Reid a better player as well. What an incredible spine we will have, Brown, Reid, Cloke and Dawes with a middle made up of Swan, Penders, Daisy, Wellers, Sidey, Beams, Ball and part time cameos through the guts from Shaw, BJ, Davis, Dick, Didak Marty. I am one very excited and expectant magpie this morning.

Why do we need him? We have Taz and Reid! He wont be in our best 22 etc etc

There's a fair bit of hype about, I hope the boy can remain focussed and level headed. I've got a gut feel he'll just take it in his stride but let's not place too many unrealistic expectations on the young lad.
