As far as Barkly Street podcast guests go, Nathan Brown is just about the perfect fit to talk footy with Bob Murphy and Marcus Bontempelli. Brown, the star 219-gamer who booted 349 goals, played seven seasons at Whitten Oval before crossing to the Tigers, the club of choice for the Bulldogs podcast’s co-hosts. Top of the agenda for discussion is Brown’s role in the frenetic finish to the Dogs vs Tigers game of Round 5, 2008 – the drawn game in which he celebrated as if his team had triumphed. Brown also recalls his early years in the game, being given a ‘bath’ by Simon Goodwin as a youngster, needing to back up a double-page Herald Sun spread, and how he still regrets the nature of his exit from the Western Bulldogs. Brown also outlines the impact of his horrific leg injury, and nominates Chris Grant’s match-winning goal in 2000 against Essendon as one of his favourite football memories. Elsewhere on this week’s edition of Barkly Street, Bob and Bont chat through footy’s imminent return, how the Dogs players are connecting with each other in isolation, and the Bont tells the audience who he’s most keen to catch up with after social gathering restrictions are eased.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
