Just heard Nathan Brown is to retire and announce it on the Footy Show Thursday night.
Anyone else heard this?

I have wondered if that might happen so it wouldn't surprise me. That's a real shame.

I dislocated my ankle and broke my leg in half just on 5 months ago now, and God only knows how someone could come back and play AFL after it.
I've still got a plate in my leg which was great while it was healing but now swells up every day after I go for a run (being 90kg's isn't helping either!!!)
Browny is a gun and its sad if that's true. He was great to watch.
Pity he was such and arrogant cnut though!

Na I liked that about him, one of the few characters floating around in the game.

I just think he's too smug.
I actually like Fev for his arrogance. I love the fact he thinks he can say whatever he likes (and he does) and people will like it.
I see the difference as:
N Brown - SMUG arrogant
Fev - DUMB arrogant.
But you're right, it's much better than some of the planks of wood that must have Microsoft 'Football Cliche' Version 1.0 installed ready for EVERY frigging interview they do!

I also hope that this is not true - it would be devastating for Richmond.
How credible is your source Alaska??

Hammil sounds closer to the mark

Let's hope it's Mark Hamill.
He should've retired from acting after Jedi.
