She said the Silver Ferns would make the World Cup final.
She said the return of Casey Kopua and Laura Langman would make a huge difference.
She said the combination between veteran shooter Maria Folau and Ameliaranne Ekenasio was operating nicely.
She said, she said, she said - and every time a bullseye. And now the former Silver Fern shooter and netball clairvoyant is saying all will be well with the team when the self-described ''fossils'' move on.
Kopua, Langman and Folau have combined for more than 400 tests and were instrumental in the Silver Ferns' 52-51 win against Australia in the World Cup final earlier this week.
But Kopua is retiring and Langman and Folau are unlikely to feature at the next World Cup, so there is some rebuilding ahead.
While Brown said there will never be another three like them, she is confident New Zealand has the depth to fill the gaps.
''They are going to be hard to replace because you are replacing about 300 or 400 caps,'' Brown said.
''But I think they have built some players around them ... and we just haven't had that in past teams.
''I think the biggest impact they have had is making sure the systems and legacy and everything about what it means to be a Silver Fern is actually now embedded.''
Kopua left a hole when she retired from international netball the first time around. And Langman's absence was also sorely felt during her international exile.
That was very evident when the Silver Ferns failed to medal at the Commonwealth Games last year.
But there will be life without the threesome.
Brown felt Phoenix Karaka and Michaela Sokolich-Beatson shaped as the most likely replacements for Kopua.
''They are both quite different players. Phoenix has that real jumping game whereas Michaela can run through players and pick up lots of ball. So I think those two would do a good job but they are not going to be a Casey Kopua.''
''And we saw what happened when [we were missing Langman] and I don't think she can be replaced. But what we need to do is look to the likes of Shannon Saunders, who has had a real wake-up call when she got dropped and came back.''
Brown also rates Tactix midcourter Kimiora Poi.
''I think she has the qualities to be an amazing centre. She is fast, she is fit and she has also been getting lots of touches on defence as well.''
There is a but, though.
''I still haven't heard Laura say she has retired so it wouldn't surprise me if she doesn't.''
The other area where the Silver Ferns will likely need to develop a player is in the shooting circle.
The 32-year-old Folau put husband Israel Folau's legal battle with Rugby Australia behind her to shine at the tournament.
She combined beautifully with Ekenasio and has carried a heavy burden in the shooting circle since Irene van Dyk retired from international netball five years ago.
''We all know she can shoot from anywhere in the circle and her ability to do that and be accurate is aaaaamazing.
''Having her back at goal shoot [rather than goal attack] was important for the Silver Ferns. Like Casey, she has grown the players around her.
''I think Te Paea Selby-Rickit did not have the best ANZ Premiership but, during the Silvers Ferns' campaign, really impressed me in terms of her ability to make an impact.
''But I think Ameliaranne is going to be the next Maria. She really stood out for us in this World Cup.
''I don't think we'd have been able to win any of those games if we didn't have her shooting the way she did. To shoot 90-something percent in the final is outrageous.''
