Is Browny still capable of playing a blinder? Me think not.
Unfortunately Nathan is a selfish individual and is more worried about how he looks ,and about doing fashion parades for his clothing brand.

Browny gets plenty of kicks because everyone kicks it to him.
What Browny needs to do is kick it, or handpass it to A RICHMOND PLAYER WHO IS NOT ABOUT TO BE TACKLED BECAUSE OF BROWNY'S KICK or HANDPASS.
Pretty *smile* poor effort by NGB so far in 2009 and he really shows us how much of an individual he is, rather than the team player that Crawf was referring to.
NGB may well be the source of the RICHMOND CANCER at the moment.

I dont think the guy in the crowd was a fool because he wasnt far from the truth. Hopefully the constant ridiculing that these so called 'superstars' are receiving will make them pull their finger out.
I had to laugh when Browny said that no one expected us to beat the Cats or the Dogs. If you really did believe that Nathan then you should have stayed home and blow dried your hair. Maybe your spot would have been given to a young kid without this loser mentality.
Sam seemed to be defending Wallace, while Gary was a bit more critical and Crawf had a crack at the players (Crawf sounded like he'd had a look at PRE for some pre-show research :hihi). Except for Crawf, it was still pretty soft stuff. As Pandaboy said, it'd be interesting to see Sam take Wallace to task. But Terry always seems to have been a koala among all the media for some reason :headscratch They seem to have the attitude that Wallace is a good bloke who has shown he can coach, and after all, it's only Richmond.

Spot on. I think this is the point that p!sses me off the most. We are a bunch of SOFT individuals who don't play for one another. So many instances already this season where a teammate has been set upon, and noone has come to fly the flag??
When was the last time we saw a mellee involving the RFC?? ?? Now I'm not saying we should go ahead and try and target an all-in and try and knock blokes heads off. But letting out a big of aggression every now and again sometimes does wonders for team morale. How often have we seen a team start playing better and rebound after being dominated, straight after a melle??
HARDEN THE F UP!!!!!!!!
Even Brownie liked what Crawf said "he's getting good at this". Crawf might be a larkin but he takes his footy seriously.
He persisted even though Sam was saying the opposite that the players have to play for each other. Each player helps the other achieve their individual goals to succeed as a team.
Sam was trying to say you have to play the best as an individual then the team can succeed. Crawf told him that is a outdated view.
I hope players & Brownie liste to what Crawf said.
This is something Northery & early years of Frawley (why we made finals) had succeeded in doing but somehow along the way the club have lost their way. Hope they can correct this. Time will tell.

Sam pointed out TW's attributes and coaching record (lifting the dogs from the bottom to play finals), then asked NGB are the players happy with him, is there a game plan, is he good at tactics blah blah. Of course Nathan would give positive answers.
Sam went onto say "why sack him, who would do better with that team'.
Sam, it's not just that, it's the players and their skill & attitude us supporters have a problem with.
Not only has he coached the team, he has had a big say in the players the club has recruited and believed he could develope.
Therefore in my opinion, he is totally responsible at this stage of his contract, for the way our club is at the moment.
Crawf was good and Garry threatened to "expose" us but didn't quite get there.
Brown's comments were along the same lines as those trotted out by Newman and March this week. Seems to me that a media adviser of some description has got the team together and told them what to say. Getting sick of this "its only round three and we have played 3 of the top sides" rubbish.

Could you be any more narrow minded? I don't think so. Brown is a class above what we have at Tigerland, it's not his fault he is being directed to play in 50 positions, the problem is if he stays down foward the ball will never get to him. He is a gun but needs help.
Just thought i would correct you on that one!! The perfect example of everything that is wrong about the RFC at the moment. Anyone that thinks Nathan Brown really hurts after a Richmond loss is dead set kidding themselves. All he cares about as others have posted is the large income he is receiving from the RFC, the property portfolio that Casey had set up for him, and his new fashion label. Weak, soft and selfish footballer!!Chocco said:

I don't need correcting from you, you obviously haven't played the game before or are deluded.
Also, you would know how he is feeling, based on what? You must have regular conversations with him to understand how he feels and how he hurts after a loss. Maybe you are everything that is wrong with RFC, if you ever watch Nathan Brown closely you would know that he is not soft and puts his body on the line when it's his turn, calling a player soft who has broken bones for the jumper is a bit weak if you ask me.
Times are desperate, people are now blaming the fact that a bloke is setting himself up for a life after football and now that makes him soft, weak, and a traitor........
Don't really know what people expect these people to say...."Oh yeah we hopeless, we want Terry gone, but we just have to keep blaming the Cuz love saga for thats bad in the world at Tigerland"
Maybe someone should just come out and say something like that, you can bet it would shut the media up for a while.

This guy has always been in football for himself. Yes he is soft and weak - when did he ever put on a gut busting tackle out of the forward line or anywhere on the ground for that matter? As for his broken leg, that was just misfortune in that he had a player that collapsed against his leg when he was kicking it when he was going for a goal. I want this guy to put in one percenters - chase with conviction, not just jog, tackle with conviction, not just put a half arsed tackle on only to fall to the ground so that he doesnt have to be in the next play. I dont have to talk to him, its obvious that in the first three rounds this year (and previous years) that he only puts in only when he feels like it.
He wants a rocket, cause if he like others on the list dont want to put in 100% then he goes back to the burgers. He is not a traitor, just a lazy so and so like alot of other players on the list. This is a typical guy who wears the yellow and black that needs to get his act together and bloody shine by example. Way to way in a comfort zone.

I dont think Brown is a class above Cousins or Deledio, or even Foley for that matter. Nathan has lost his pace and quite often gets tackled when he used to be able to burst through packs. His disposal has been shocking lately, i reckon its just age catching up with him.
There was an article in the Sun recently which suggested Browny was on 5 to 600,000 per year. Last season I suggested he should be traded. Now it is simply a matter of letting him go for maybe a second rd pick if we are lucky.
So certainly at the end of the season I think we should let him go wherever he wants in favour of a younger player who has just started a career that shows some promise.
Not easy but not impossible as plenty of players will be holding out for big money. Would be happy to sign up a Murphy, Leuenberger, S Johnson, Watts, Hansen, Roughhead of course, and any one of a dozen others and pay them 500,000 on a five year contract. Far better value.
If we have the guts.....do we have a choice....I imagine Nathan may be joining Bowden, Graham, Johnson, King and Pettifer at least.

Agree , i think Nathans leg has more to do with his poor form than anything else. Did anybody notice him limp in on the stage? Dont care what anybody says it must effect his agility and ability to run.craig said:
