Post subject: A Fit Nathan Brown for 2015 | |
|
Last weekend spoke to a guy that knows Browny very well and he has told him that he is very fit and ready to go for the 2015 season. Nathan also said his shoulder can't pop out anymore as it has been screwed in. I'm very excited about getting Browny back as I can remember how he controlled Reiwolt in the 2010 grand final. His bigger body will help guys like Frost and Keefe down back. Go Pies |

Let's hope so, we desperately need either Brown or Reid, maybe even both, holding down a defensive spot for most of next season. We saw last year that without Maxwell the defense simply didn't function without an experienced player holding it together.
Reid and Brown are our two most important potential gains coming into 2015. Adding two A-grade players makes a major difference and even more so when injected into your spine. _________________ Well done boys! |

so true mate and they will add a lot of experience for our emerging young talent. We need some experience back down there again. |

A fit Brown, Reid, Swan and more confident Tooves are 4 big reasons why we can improve next year. It won't be all about the youth _________________ Formally frankiboy and FrankieGoesToCollingwood. |

I'm not so sure about Toovey, as Langdon covered his role pretty well last year I reckon. However, Swanny, Reid and Brown will definitely be the big 'new recruits' for us in season 2015. Throw in Freeman, Karnezis, Fasolo and Marsh, it's clear we're much better placed than we were this year - and that's before we include Crisp, Greenwood, Varcoe, Moore, a player like Laverde and possibly even Scharenberg later in the season. We've got every reason to be excited. |

Brown seems to be somewhat of the forgotten backman. Until this topic there has been very little posed about him in recent times on Nicks. His injury last year did have a significant impact and I think it was more about when he was going to get injured and not if.
Hopefully 2015 will see a more robust Brown out there for the full season. _________________ Now Retired - Every Day Is A Saturday |

Isn't it strange that we are now mentioning what the real reason for our demise was. INJURIES to our star players.Plenty of them. We'll get them back and we'll be top 4 . |

Impossible to know from the outside, but Jono Marsh's hammy was a brutal one in the last VFL game at Vic Park. Hope he is coming good as well. _________________ I'm not arguing, I'm just explaining why I'm right |

But unfortunately have missed many games due to injury in recent years. The injuries to these two alone are game changers. |

Reid, Brown, Cloke and to a lesser extend Grundy, Frost, Witts and Keeffe are the reason we are not in a full rebuild and can bounce back quicker than many expect. The key positions take the longest time to fill and we are pretty much set if we get a decent run with injuries. _________________ Well done boys! |

Happy to have Brown fit and firing, but I think people are forgetting that before getting injured, he was languishing in the 2s and Frost had taken his spot. _________________ kill for collingwood! |
