RD - Pick 8: Robin Nahas

[Checkers]

saw him today, looks to be tiny, possibly smallest player Ive ever seen in afl...would need to put on a stone in weight to be even close to being considered for afl...get to work

Hes no smaller than North's Matty Campbell was when he started and barely any smaller than Matty is now.

I've got a real good feeling about Robin.

so be it, he won't push ahead of a few others until he strengthens up some

Nice story, and he could have arked up given the club had committed to him, but personally the one that dazzled me today was Gilligan. Incredibly swift

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

here is a player profile from afl.com.au

date of birth: 10/11/87
height: 176cm
weight: 67kg
club: port melbourne
bio: a small midfielder who is a proven goalkicker. Nahas displays a fierce competitiveness and is very quick with excellent evasive skills. He had an outstanding 2008 season for port melbourne, which saw him represent the vfl at state level against the sanfl.

Here is a video of nahas in action, http://bigpondvideo.com/afl/90250

saw the vid of nahas on bigpond looks like he cant kick and plays like a reciever...reminds me of a late 80's bomber forward..

so be it, he won't push ahead of a few others until he strengthens up some

So I guess bench pressing 110 kg plus, tackling down the likes of the Cloke bros and Franklin(when he was playing with box hill), playing against bigger bodied players in the VFL- yes the VFL/AFL listed players are quite big, bog against SA - where SA players were massive and plus more importantly the coaching staff at Richmond know that he can match it with AFL players - do I need to go on?

You're right that he needs to add on muscle (Thickness wise) but strength wise there's no problem.

So in a nutshell .... Don't judge a book by it's cover, especially when you saw snippets of him down at training today.

Nahas is a super kick.

Absolutely fuming that you guys got him at 8 and we didn't at 5. awesome player to watch all year, destructive force in the VFL! knows where the goals are, provides alwyn davey-like pressure in the forward line and takes a strong contested grab. will be watching him in the future

used to go to school with him down at salesian college..hes a couple of year levels older..this guy is a freak

inbeliieeevable kick and has proven himself in the vfl

lightning fast but needs to pack on at least 10 kilos to have any chance of matching it with the big boys

is that KG or Lbs

 

[beaver fever]

Can he tackle? Is he hard at it? How competitive is he? Does he often throw himself into 2nd and 3rd efforts?

...exactly..

That sums up Nahas perfectly beaver. That's why I am such a fan and am so sure he will succeed in the big time.

Nahas is more a case of not judging a book by its cover. Forget his size, he's got skill and hunger.

 

[The Jerk]

fantastic pick up, will give everything to make it, more than all of the fantastic picks like collard (aka waste of time)

 

[jonty15]

Looks OK from what I saw in the VFL last year, will never play anywhere but FP in the AFL though, probably the one glaring deficiency in the line up anyway, so I assume he will be the one promoted for Polak... Had he been on an AFL list last year he would have broken into a fair few sides by mid-season. Ideal rookie IMO

He is super quick with okay skills, will put heaps of forward line pressure on with his chasing and harrassing, but boy you guys will need to get him on an extreme diet and weights program if he is going to stick the tackles at AFL level and that might impact his speed. Having said that i hope he goes well, is a good bloke and was definately worth the punt
