POLL-Re Browny

Do we risk Browny again for this game or for any game this year?

I don't get it.
Why would you push to rest our star player if he's cleared fit to play by his doctors & the medical staff?
Seems crazy to me.
It could do him more harm than good to sit out the season. Ever consider that?
I hope that when he's considered fit he comes back into the side. We miss him desperately and I love watching him play footy. Can't wait to see him back when he's ready.
 
Maybe 2008 until we see some vintage Brown but by then he may have lost a little will still be valuable but not the same Nathan we saw in the first 1/2 of 2005
 
This is what i wanted . A debate as to whether he is right to play this week, or even this year.

I guess there is so much if you read what is said in the papers , said by Browny, by the club etc.

I think the year is shot as to whether we will play finals. Why risk such a valuable player.

Playing at the dump wouldnt do his leg any favours as we know from what players say let alone as we played two games in a row there at the start then at Subiaco, three taxing games for him.

I personally think if its in Brownys best interest to right this year off because the pain in his leg is too much , get the rod removed and get him ready for next year. But in saying that , that will be two years out of the game. Can he return to the level he was playing prior to the sickening injury(career best form, possibly brownlow form, on the verge of playing finals) ever again?

Browny is a proud man.

This was only a meant as a tool for discussion because really we are out of the club and really do not know the ins and outs with Nathan Brown.

Unless any of you are orthopaedic surgeons, I would suggest that none of you would know what is best for Brown. The club has done the right thing by getting expert opinions. They are only as good as the information they get from them as well as from Brown on how the leg feels.

I accept that they are probably taking the correct approach now but still belive they rushed him back too early so he could play round 1 & now we are suffering the consequences.
 
As other have already mentioned.....playing the game is part of his rehab. Not playing would prolong recovery.
 
Browny said last week that as much as he'd like to play ifl he can train properly and play without being sore there's not much. If he plays before his body is ready it only undoes the work that's been done.

I'm not suggesting that the recent discussion was the first time opinions were sought. That would have been happening right from the time the injury happened. Those opinions before the season must have been to let him play and see how Brown felt. He did play preseason after all.

If people were able to see into the future, maybe he wouldn't have been played. But they can't, and their actions are always judged in hindsight.
 
Get him right if he feels good and can do all the training then let him play but if it comes to round 11 and we're 3-8 and he hasn't played scrap him for the year and have him ready next season.

Fair enough & probably we will be 3-8 or 4-7 after round 11.

does anyone have any idea what browny is doing in regards to training right now? nothing? weights? swimming?
 
"Wallace said he was confident Johnson, Gaspar, Hall and Kellaway would all return for the following week’s clash against Geelong while Brown is expected to still need at least three weeks of full training before he is again considered for selection."

I spoke to someone today who was at training last week & he said Brownie was doing some sprint work & ball work & looked okay.
