    Where did you hear he had been made captain.?

    It was within another news item:

    WEST ADELAIDE LEADERSHIP APPOINTMENTS

    The West Adelaide Football Club is pleased to announce Nathan Brown is the club's new Captain. Nathan has returned to the club after a successful 10 year AFL career which saw him play 145 games.

    A passionate West Adelaide person, Nathan has had an immediate impact on the training track and throughout the playing group. Full of energy and enthusiasm he is looking forward to leading the club into a successful era.

    Nathan will receive support from vice captains Peter Walsh and 2007 Steve Hamra Medallist (Best and Fairest) Simon McCormick.

    The West Adelaide Football Club would like to acknowledge the efforts of David Piasente, who stood down as captain after two seasons.

    David led the club with determination through a very tough period and did so with distinction.

    David will be working on ensuring he gets his own football back to his usual high standards after a couple of frustrating years with injury. He will also work closely in a mentoring role with some up and coming young players at the club.

    Andrew Collins, Senior Coach, said these 3 players have been empowered with the on field leadership of the West Adelaide FC and the enormous responsibility along with the great honour that is leadership, sits naturally with all of them. All have a strong desire to be the best they can be and an extreme hate of losing. They are demanding of their team mates in regards to on and off field actions and lead by example and are courageous role models. Nathan with the support of Peter and Simon are steadfast on making this club great again and are looking forward to sharing a great season with their team mates. Nathan, Peter and Simon will assist with coaching duties throughout the season.

    Damn shame that Brown retired. He had 1 solid year of AFL left, and he was in career best form towards the end of 2007.

    I'm tipping the MFC were not going to offer him another contract, hence he retired.

    No. Brown had indicated that this year was his last sometime during the 2007 season.

    Good on him to finish his career full of running although his 2007 form had been patchy earlier on.

    Brown's best year was 2004 by a mile. Every since then he slowly deteriorate as a footballer as his lack of pace and questionable ball usage got found out. In fact his hard work in 2007 is testimony to his character as his 2005 was horrible and the gap between that year and 2004 was disturbing.

    West Adelaide have picked up a top bloke and a good leader. Good luck to him.

    Oh really. I didn't know that.

    You'd imagine the MFC would not have offered him another contract anyway, with the likes of Godfrey and Ward also being shown the door.

    Another minor connection with West Adelaide is that its new coach, former Hawthorn player coach Andy Collins, played for the Zebras and then coached them in 1997-98, taking them to the flag in his first season there.
