Welcome to the Tigers Nathan Broad

Great news, he is a similar story to Towner. He was playing Ressies in the WAFL, put in a big preseason, played seniors, and then we picked him up.
I love stories like that and I'm wrapped for him.

Most dangerous forward gets our best shut down defender.....Grimes

Yeah i reckon too.

Although broady is no shrinking violet,

Grimes is more likely to break something of Tobys
 
Congratulations to Nathan on a well earnt extension.

Is establishing himself as an important part of the defensive unit and improving weekly.

Cant ask any more than that from the guy considering he was facing extinction when he did his AC Joint in during pre season.

A nice shot of confidence for him coming into the Prelim.

Id be expecting him to go up another level or two next year if he keeps tracking as he has.
 
Massive game for him.

Good stuff Taz. Your boy is doing well.

Congrats to him.

I would put Grimes on Toby. Toby is one dangerous small forward.
 
Broad actually shut down Greene last time we Beat them, but I've got a feeling that either Nathan or K Mac could get the job on Lids.

Although I have backed him, I'd be worried if Broady was to spend too much time on Lids because of his smarts. Lids is still a threat on the lead and strong overhead, great hands. Anyway, they played Lids down back a fair bit last week; think it'll happen again.
 
I reckon this bloke is going to be massively important to our chances on Saturday...... especially if he ends up getting a stopping role on Lynch.
 
was rubbing his eyes after the match on saturday. is he in a dream? playing the grand final this saturday.
his improvement to hold down a position in this side is extraordinary. well done to the young fella

Not sure broady has the agility and speed for cameron does he? Cameron has that break away ability but i don't think we have a real good match up for him so he may get the job.
 
This guy makes me very nervous. Would prefer him up the ground on lynch instead of isolated in the backline.
 
when he first came in i thought it was (in part) to give us match-ups against the crows.
Rance/Astbury v Walker/Jenkins
Broad v Lynch
Grimes v Betts
Vlastuin/Ellis v Ottens

big job on Lynch, and it will be interesting if we pressure him up the ground, or whether our defenders sit back and guard the 50mtr arc.
 
Nathan has been an important part of our defence. He replaced Shorty who used the ball beautifully but when you rotate amongst their forwards he was sometimes caught out against taller opponents. Broad gives us that 5th negator and aerial presence which releases Ellis and Houli a little.

Shorty in time will take Houli's spot but ATM it's a very well balanced defence and Broad has been very solid.
