Welcome to the Tigers Nathan Broad

That piece of kitch cultural appropriation is awful
yeah i don't get it either.
Broady looks more like Custer, but acts like Crazy Horse - so maybe theres something in it cross culturally ?
Just watched Broad's best bits on the club website. I reckon they missed quite a few though. Many underestimate the value Broad brings to the team. Not the most skilful of players but his intensity, hard running, ability to play on anyone, always there to close down opposition and kamikaze last ditch spoils or tackles are so invaluable to our three years of outstanding success
Caught it this morning. All the premiership player highlights have been good value
I did like the fact that the recent highlight video's have been not our top stars but the ones coming of age over the recent past
They have predicted a first round 22 on afl.hush and Broady gets left right out.
Seriously ... he’s a dual premiership player with us and his opponent doesn’t get a sniff while Broady kills all their air balls and rebounds away.
we just won our 2nd modern flag and he’s played in both.
ok so absolutely Rance and graham come back into a premiership 22.
Mcintosh stack Ross balta and others all want to play.
I’m sure broad keeps his spot despite the competition.

And we’ve just let go Grigg Butler Ellis & Townsend.
We could have had 28 premiership players plus Ross Stack and Balta
Because the person that wrote the article is an imbecile and lazy journo.
Broad is not a straight swap for Rance.
Its like nobody outside of the club understands his role, journos especially, even a lot of Tigers fans still don't get it.
If they cared to look back to 2017 he played in a premiership with Rance, Dave Tigga, and Dylan.
In 2018 He played the whole season alongside Rance, Dave, Tigga and Dylan.
In round 1 2019, he played alongside Rance, Dave Tigga, and Dylan.
Media are imbeciles we play a 7 -8 man defence rotating Nathan plays small and tall which is key he covers all and has done so since he came into the side in 2017 and has been the reason why Rance and Vlastuin are able to play as intercept defenders.
Broad also as a point of difference has the best winning percentage of all players in the AFL for games played over 50 games in the comp.
Might be a reason behind it, he is a defensive key that goes unnoticed every week because he does the jobs that go unnoticed yet afford some luxuries to his higher profile team mates in the back half.
Had a good year punching above his weight in a few playing some very good games that went unnoticed ie slapping Hipwood two weeks in a row in round 23 and up in Bris in the Q/F, also shut down Himmelberg and others. Also has the ability to go onto a wing or even run as a defensive mid due to his pace and elite tank for example he tagged Whitfield for a quarter at the mcg when he was killing us and then returned to play out the game on Himmelberg., hence he is one of the Tigers most versatile units. Not many like him running around in the AFL.
One other thing is that he has played well or done his job in pretty much every final or in most big games.
Is in the best 22 is an understated and yet important cog in the machine and a reason he has 2 premiership medallions, and the RFC has two flags.
Is he a pretty footballer .......no.
Do fans flock to games to watch him play ......no
Does he make the odd clanger .....yes
Is he the most unassuming player that takes the field every week for the RFC ......... most likely.
Is he a Richmond Man .....yes
Is he effective ..... obviously yes.

Says it all about the value Broad brings to our team week in and week out. An integral part of the best defence group in the league.
Only one comment Broady didn't play the whole of 2018 alongside Rance, Astbury Grimes and Vlastuin due to his three week Boobgate holiday.
Love Broady...... are we sure he actually has 2 medallions or is one still on loan?
Think his grandma gave it back.
Totally agree, if broad goes out of the team and short stays in, ill be amazed. Good on shorty but one of the luckiest premiership players of all time. Stack---------------------------------------------------------->short
He’s basically underrated by everyone outside of Punt Road. He’s an example of what you want from a speculative mature age pick. The only reason non Richmond people know him is for the boob pic after the 2017 GF. He’s important to our structure and plays a vital, if unheralded, role in the defence. The fact that he consistently holds his spot in what has become of the competitions premier defences underlines how good he actually is.
Every time I see poor Daryl's name it reminds me of the Friday night following the 1980 grand final and we were queued up outside the Richmond Social Club and poor old Daryl rocked up past everyone and pulled the old line...
"Don't ya know who I am? .... on the bouncer..... 'nah, *smile* off and wait for ya turn mate!'
Hilarious at the time, bit ashamed of meself for laughing now
Somehow when reading this post about poor ol Darryl (Premiership Player) getting fresh aired (at the RFC Social club no less), I couldnt help but get a vision of that Simpsons episode with Darryl Strawberry shedding a tear when being heckled at the baseball game ..........Deeeerrrrrryyyyllllll Deeeeeeeeerrrrryyyyllll
Poor Freamey ...... what a rebuff.
Come to think of it now, how ironic is this as this is on the Broady thread, that for all intents and purposes the twins wearing Nathans 2017 medal in that picture are seemigly more famous than poor old Darryl Freame.
