Robin Nahas

[Wallaby]

Greg Williams - too slow - cut by Carlton
Robin Nahas - too small - not drafted
Nathan Foley - too small and slow - not drafted
James Hird - too small for KPP, too slow for midfield - pick 71 (and only because he had a family connection)
Brett Kirk - too slow - not drafted

Compared with:
Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls - great athlete - pick 8
Tom Roach - Great speed - Father/Son
Aaron Fiora - speed, jump, silky skills - pick 3
Richard Lounder - Physical freak (he really was) - pick 1

I could go on.

John Kennedy had it right - when they had the Ten tests at AFL Draft Camp to see who should be chosen, he always said - 'What about the eleventh test - Can they play Football?'

Or;

Lance Franklin: Can't kick straight, super fast, super strong - pick 5
Richo: Can't kick straight, great endurance - pick F/S
Pendlebury: Great endurance, silky skills - pick 5

Compared with

Tom Hislop: Great tackler, good "footballer" - pick 20
Keplar Bradley: "Next Dustin Fletcher" - pick 6.
Etc etc etc.

Goes both ways.

A very impressive game by Nahas. Great to see a small forward dominate in this day and age of "athletic" footballers. I think your side is on the edge of better times. Good fortunes for the rest of the season.
