Past #28: Robin Nahas - delisted by NM - 34 games for the club - thank you Robin

[Flawed Genius]

We have signed Robin Nahas as a DFA.

Twitter abuzz.

 

[scooby1279]

we couldn't land Betts so next person off the rank?

 

[GarnerSmash]

Jesus.

 

[Waynesworld]

If true that will undo every piece of good work North has done this off-season...

 

[Maddox]

Interesting.

 

[W. Smithers]

He'll give Majak a run for his money in the showers if rumours are true.

 

[King Corey]

W. Smithers great it was hard enough for us to coax NDS over, this will send him running back to the fiddlers.

Make them take an ice bath before they join him in the showers?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Nahas would be a decent get for free.
We need more ready made small forward depth so it makes sense

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Werribee FC will be over the moon.

 

[WesternRoo]

This is a Laids style pick.
You could only imagine its for depth.

Like I just said to a concerned North supporting mate, if everything goes to plan for you guys in 2014, you won't see him in the seniors for the whole year.

 

[King Corey]

Everytime Nahas' name has come up I've been in support of it.

He's not a gun but would fill a glaring list need. Don't think it's happened but wouldn't be the worst speculative signing.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Another way of looking at it is will he be better than what we can pick up at pick 65 or whatever it is?

If we do grab him it means we take two live picks into the draft.

 

[NiceCunnington]

If it's true I don't mind it. I didn't see a lot of him this year but he was a handy player in 2011-12.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Well on 2011 and 2012 form he certainly got enough ball and kicked enough goals in AFL for a small forward.

Appreciate he is not exactly phar lap but a depth DFA at a need position is what it is.

 

[Waynesworld]

No guys with chicks names allowed at North.

Can you imagine calling out "Go Robin Go" if he gets a senior game...???

 

[TheKanga]

Remember that game where he was having a sook for being sub.
Not cool

 

[DarkPhoenix]

He's free, he's depth, and he can crack open a game (once in a blue moon), in a 'shallow' draft i'm not against this one.

Downside: Twinkletoes will be making twice as many large penis innuendos.

You mean like Taylor Garner?

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Why couldn't October go on for longer!!

 

[Event Horizon]

I remember Nahas doing pretty well against us a couple of years ago.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

2012 - 22 games - 296 disposals - Av 13.4 per game - 34 goals 17 behinds - 83 tackles
2011 - 22 games - 421 disposals - Av 19.1 per game - 29 goals 11 behinds - 94 tackles

To be fair if Kieran Harper, Sam Wright, Leigh Adams produced those numbers this year this board would have been rapt.

Stats dont lie - im not against picking him up at all - i think he could be a handy pick up. Particularly for one our areas of weakness - tackles inside our forward half.

Wonder what happened to him in 2013? It's not like Richmond found another gun small forward. But there is something there to work with, that's for sure.

I haven't seen any credible twits about this though. Can someone bring up any half decent sources to suggest this may be on the cards?
