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

[the_one]

I'm not a Nahas defender, but the contest where he broke his finger saw him beat three Geelong players on his own.

What stage of the game was this?

1st quarter

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Maybe posts have been deleted but I can't see anything ^ or elsewhere like autopsy that is abuse/bagging rather reasonable opinion whether in Nahas' corner or otherwise. Both sides have merit to a certain degree.

For mine he shouldn't have played to start with due to poor previous form, even recognizing his courageous effort to stay out there in the circumstances. But that's just my opinion.

I'm not sure I understand the angst over how he's been so vilified etc and the need to so overplay his Shinboner qualities etc etc. He's been a great get and very handy, I doubt anyone would disagree with that, but surely asking for different players to replace him (inured or otherwise) isn't off limits?

BTron's post on the same page as this quoted a few.

Chaplin is VFL standard

Bet you didn't dismiss him so readily when it happened.

 

[Kimbo]

Out of interest, I assume those getting stuck into Nahas have played more AFL games?

hilly, posting at the highest levels!

Good man Robbie. Surgery done, at training yesterday, glove on, smiling and laughing, back on the rookie list.
Complaing ? Nah.
Cheering on his mates tonight.

Well done !

He is the ultimate rookie list player - comes in and does a job when needed and then goes back to the rookie list when not required. Young players would probably leave if in the same situation.

Hopefully they learn a little bit about commitment, fortitude and dignity

Back on the senior list and i think its fantastic. I would keep him on the rookie list next year as well because despite not being a superstar he is always ready to play when injuries strike and even breaking a finger doesnt look like will stop him playing if needed tomorrow.

Did anyone see him in the rooms at half time on Friday night - he was upbeat and playing around with Garner in the background. Seems like a great guy to have around the club

Heart like Phar Lap this bloke.

 

[Atleyafterburners]

Hung like Pharlap too

 

[Hojuman]

Hope he kicks the sealer grand final day.

Good onya Robbie !

 

[South West 29]

Putrid. That is all.

I just liked this post so I could unlike it.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Like the bloke, but would rather play another kid

 

[jclei]

Yeah he didnt help my point above last night - I also think he seems a great bloke but i agree - would prefer to play someone else - dont think we have had many options lately but after the bye hopefully anderson takes his spot

 

[Horizons_00]

Not afl standard..

Cannot continue to carry these type of fringe players anymore

 

[ferball]

Shouldn't have played last night. It was unfair to Daw and to him and to the side.

 

[Heaps of fun]

campaigner can't kick.

 

[dus]

Delist. Enough is enough.

 

[nelroo]

It was the right call to bring him in for Daw with the weather forecast. But ffs even the weather gods were against us. Not a drop.
We can't continue with him though, tries his heart out but his skills are deplorable.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Here I was thinking lucky he played for this alone, however it turns out it was all a hoax
