Chris Naish

G'day fellas,

How did you guys rate Chris when he was a Richmond player?

 

[cairo tiger]

reasonably ordinary actually, i do not know how he got game but he played a lot he would flash in for a few gaols here and there he had good skills but was not hard at it he typified our teams then and would not have got games at stronger clubs the boy from wangaratta

Had one good year in 95 that was it . Very one dimensional, not fit or hard enough to play up the ground and if you are going to be a specialist forward pocket , you have to bloody good at it . It is a pretty tough gig .

Personally , i never forgave him for missing that shot at goal on the siren in 96 against you blokes at Kat Park , think it was round three . He was about 30 out , 45 degree angle , if called himself a forward pocket/ goalsneak he should have eaten it ................... I`m still spewin

G'day fellas,

When was the last time Richmond beat the Cats at Shell stadium? i am 23 years of age and i dont remember.
However:

Not sure of the year it was however Less then 1 minute left on the clock we get it out of the rock tigers down by less then a goal kicks it to Naish marks it on his chest not far out from goal Siren sounds as he kicks it a goal we win and guess what he let us down once more. Dud enough said. Even I could of kicked that what was he thinking. How much did we lose that game by 1point i think.

Great player.

Pity that his asthma gave him trouble when he played.

FYI he is involved with AFL Sportsready Traineeships

Never forget it...following the long trip down the princess hwy I arrived home to find my place had been burgled...If the day wasn't bad enough

Chris Naish kind of personofies Richmond of the last 20 years in a way.

Flashy half forward flanker who lurked around punt road for years promising to turn into a great but never quite delivering.As someone else said he had 1 special year in 95 and that was about it.

How many of these types have we had over the years... Daffy, Naish, Nichols , Wilson, Egan,Merenda,.....

I could go on all day.

 

[Khan]

He was the other player that Sydney attempted to poach at the same time as Stewie. I know which one I would have preferred to loose

I remember that too. To rub salt into the wound, we finished 9th and missed the finals by half a game that year.

 

[IDGAF]

What did we get off Port Adelaide for him ?

 

[madtiger2005]

Naish was a skillful forward pocket and a good mark for his size. He was the only real good forward pocket we've had in about 20 years.

 

[NQTIGER]

Sorry PJ you are right it has been so hard to win downthere i clean forgot.....mate youre a legend

if memory serves me correctly it was John Rombotis. what you would call a loose-loose situation.

It was a trade to dump salary. Rombotis cost less than Naish and both clubs wanted to dump players. It was a nothing trade.
