Rate a Player: Jay Nash

[KING-JAMES]

Struggled with injury early on in his career and early this season but has played a month of good footy now and giving great run off half back for Essendon. I always liked him, and wanted to sign him up before an Adelaide club could pinch him. Plays a bit like Lindsey Gilbee.

Whats your thoughts?

I dont think hes like Lindsey Gilbee. I do rate him though. hes one of the few players I actually enjoy to watch from Essendon. Quite a good kick.

Maybe Lindsey Gilbee when he first started his game off half back. I was having trouble thinking of a good comparison for him.

 

[Tas]

Haven't seen much of him, I don't typically bar up when it comes to half-back flankers getting stats, easiest position to play in the game.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

I wish I'd put him in my fantasy footy side this round - 96 points would have been handy from the back line.

Not a bad player, but doesn't yet stand out.

 

[cleveland]

I was about to start a similar thread. I was very impressed by him tonight. Looks like you have a quality player on your hands if he keeps improving.

 

[CaptainDavey]

He's an interesting one. I heard some Bombers supporters talking about how he was going to be the future of club along with Brent Stanton and so on...I didn't think he was that highly rated.

But good luck to him...Still like that Hislop kid more though!

 

[The Zebra]

Yeah - he looks good.
Great foot skills. I don't think I have seen him miss a target yet.

 

[drewie_rama]

easily his best game for the club tonight..
good skills and his ability to get forward and become dangerous is something hes previously lacked

 

[Bomber32]

Great game by Nash tonight.

Very pleased with the way he has kept improving.

"plays a bit like Lindsay Gilbee" that is like saying i have a **** like John Holmes.

 

[Darealrath]

He's a gun.

I would, but i don't like to brag

He is coming along nicely

 

[High Ryder]

Rising star nom this week surely?

He is Merv, but to compare him to Gilbee !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Better turn of speed than Jay Leno.

 

[Merv]

Yes agreed windy.

He is no Gilby yet but at least he can hit a target, something we are really lacking.

 

[KING-JAMES]

I never said he was the quality of Gilbee but in general he has been playing the same sort of role for Essendon. He could develop into our attacking half back/wing for the next 6-8 years if he keeps it up.

 

[Stifler's mom]

Rising star nom this week surely?

Not even close.
Westhoff and Goldsack both in front of him, just to name a few.

 

[Longy413]

Haven't seen much of him, I don't typically bar up when it comes to half-back flankers getting stats, easiest position to play in the game.

He doesn't win the ball in the backline.

Finds most of his footy through the midfield.
Half-back flankers that kick goals, aren't finding "easy" footy.

 

[thebigboy]

Rising star nom this week surely?

Maybe a bit old i think. If he's eligable he would be up against Westhoff and Boak from port.

He's coming on very nicely.

 

[Deenamite]

Ever improving.

 

[jonesy86]

i'll pass judgement after seeing him this saturday

 

[bhorjus]

He is improving. Still got a long way to go. Good signs so far.
