Nahas and King

[thecotch]

Been massive today.

 

[Bojangles17]

I absolutely dip my lid to robbie nahas, what a game he played today, EASILY his BEST AFL game...he imposed himself on the game and was was a massive contributor to the win...well done fella and kingy, well i he's a fav of mine, luv his work

 

[thecotch]

Both growing in confidence and really starting to take the next step.

King is becoming the small mongrel forward we've been craving.

 

[Tigerdrive]

Both were great today.

Nahas still gets into trouble from time to time but today was easily his best game, King is an absolute champ.

 

[Gak Attack]

Nahas still too many turnovers and balls run out of our forward line due to his inability to hold tackles. Did some great offensive stuff but made a few poor decisions too. I still would not have him in the side due to his inability to hold or break tackles which I think you need to play his role in the forward line. King though just gives 100% and has become a smart footballer.

 

[Bazzar]

Santa will be gutted. I hope he keeps the razor blades locked away.

 

[roostertalk]

Great Call. Nahas won us the game tonight. Martin and Riewoldt were awesome but Nahas' nuts to break the lines and his defensive pressure won us the game. Great game little fella- and quality from Kingy.

 

[richoatthedisco]

King has 19 goals in nine games since moving permanently into the forward line. Combine that with his intensity, commitment and defensive pressure and you can't ask for more. Well done lad, I'd written you off 12 months ago.

Pity King keeps snotting blokes.

 

[delediofan3]

gg nahas and king
keep up the good work

 

[Bazzar]

Pity King keeps snotting blokes.

When was the last time he did that?

 

[Vitriol]

How good was King's hit on Pratt? Hit him so damn hard, total commitment to the contest. Loved it.

 

[copthat]

When was the last time he did that?

I thought he bumped Pratt today and it might be looked at. Didn't watch the game but what I've heard.

Nothing in it, King came from 20 Meters back dived in for the contested ball and actually got lower then Pratt and made accidental contact, nothing in it.

Jackson I'm not so sure, from the vision cant really tell if he made contact.

Nothing in it, was an awesome hit

 

[Gak Attack]

I can't see how it could be, he hit his head yes but King beat him to the ball, both were going for the ball and King got there a fraction earlier and the momentum of both caused the hit.

Ok, thought it might have been something stupid like an off the ball bump or something.

 

[Cathal Brugha]

Nahas is slowly winning me over but Kingy has always been a favourite

Lol at a commentator on SEN calling him "Nobbie Rahas" in a fit of excitement.

 

[Rancid_Beasties]

Geez... King to the forwardline has been an inspiration, almost of richo to the wing proportions

 

[Matty Knights]

Both were excellent.

At days end the Roos are a very good magoos side.

So lets not get too carried away.

 

[Jisha]

Both played their best games for the tigers, no doubts about it. They got us this win in the end, make no mistake.

King won't be looked at, Jackson will be out for 2 weeks

 

[Barnzy]

Both very good.

On the other hand, Nason was ordinary. Don't see much in this kid. Bring in someone else please. Morton, Webberly, whoever. White didn't do much other but contributed a goal.

Rubbish. King has been at this level for the last 15 - 16 games.

 

[JR#8]

Very happy with both of them today. King's hunger for the ball is amazing and Nahas is so damn quick!!!

Two years back I wrote that King was a barometer for out team. You can call me genius. Problem is that I was writing it in the negative...I was saying that for as long as King was in the team, we would continue to be a struggling team. He has shown me since mid last year that he has found his true position and I'm happy to say that I was wrong on that one. Loving his hardness at the contest and Hardwick has found the switch and getting the best out of him. Well done Kingy!!!!!!

With regards to Nahas, the jury is still out with me and I do believe that in the better teams in the comp (up to #8), he wouldn't be getting a game. I'm more than happy for him to prove me wrong and I'm loving it when I do have the players prove me wrong. I'm hoping Robbie continues to improve and I'll be the first to put my hand up and say I got it wrong.

As for Jackson, I reckon it's 3 weeks for him.
