"Proud' Brown notches 200 games
June 11th 2008 00:41
Superstar Tiger Nathan Brown will this week play his 200th game against Melbourne - an achievement that is amplified by his horrific leg injury he suffered against the same team he is playing against three years ago.
It is only now, after so long, that Brown is regaining the form he displayed when he first became a Tiger.
"I'm probably not 100 per cent to where I was back in 2005 but close to it," Brown said.
"I think every week I'm feeling more comfortable and running out games really well, I played in the midfield on the weekend, so that's a step back to where I was playing, forward and midfield, back in 2005."
Brown made a short-lived comeback in 2006, but had to stop due to pains still reverberating down his leg. He also missed half of the 2007 season with the same injury.
"I'm fairly proud of the way I've come back and played football," Brown said.
"It's been frustrating for the last two years not being able to play the football that I wanted to.
"I'm more proud now that I'm playing good football again, playing consistent football, because 2006, 2007 I wasn't able to give the team what I felt I needed to.
"The defensive side of my game wasn't good and it's just now that I'm starting to get my game back that I'm actually proud of where I've come from and what I've achieved."
