Robin Nahas

It's a no to me, one trick pony

[angrydee 842]

Not with a barge pole

sounds more like a nightmare, you need to upgrade your dreams young fella.

I think he is referring to his 16 year old self being a small forward and being drafted to the Dees is his dream...

I don't mind this idea. We lack small forwards and fostering competition between Kent and Nahas wouldn't be a bad thing.

Except it will be competition between Nahas and Nathan Page

You might be right there 'rpfc', I thought it was a bit strange dreaming of Nahas playing for the dees. Sorry 'deeman', that's a good dream to have but make sure you can play in the midfield then drift forward to kick a few.

Not a criticism of Kent, more of the scenario he was placed in. I went back and checked and in the club's post draft summary he was presented as an inside mid with speed. He played pre season as a mid/wing and Casey as a Wing resting HFF.

He gets elevated to the 1's to play FP.. Its not his fault we literally had noone to play, but it was clear it wasn't his position. I'd be very surprised if you saw him lining up as a full time FP under Roos this year.

I truly believe it's the one position on the ground you cannot teach. The resting midfielder who goes forward never plays as a crumbing forward, always a floating type.. Swan goes forward often marks it but you'd rarely see him at the feet of Cloke.

I know I'm rambling now, but my point is I respect Kent for having a crack last year, but they're asking him IMO to play one of the most specialist positions on the ground with no idea how to do it.

Kent's far more potential to be a better player than Nahas, but Round 1 sadly I'd much prefer the Lebanese Prince.

Agreed - forward pocket isn't just a position for rotating midfielders. I think it would be worth looking into getting a true forward pocket - small, agile quick, defensive and very clean.

A decent small forward would be easier to acquire than a mid. I don't think its the most important of position to fill just yet. We could try getting one with a late pick in this draft or in next years draft or next years trade period.

As said I don't see Kent as a forward pocket long term - probably a mid/wingman maybe a high forward.

Jetta and Byrnes fill the position for now.

Small forwards aren't that hard to come by so I wouldn't get Nahas if he has a question mark over his head.

Would much prefer this guy and play him as small forward for his first couple of years.

Well i am a rover too, hahahaha

Somebody was suggesting on the Rumour Mill that we have already signed Nahas but have not announced him yet, much like the Cross situation.

[1858 224]

Delisted FA, get it done.

[jumbo returns 6,538]

Kent's different to Nahas....why the comparison?

Kent will develop into a huge clearance machine, Nahas is a stay at home small forward.

Davey and The Wiz were the last two to fulfil this role well...

Liam Jurrah and Austin Wonaeamirri went all right...until they moved on with their lives.

The thing is I dont think he is actually delisted yet. I think thatll happen with first list lodgements on thursday. is probably why Cross hasnt been announced yet either.

[Demonstone 19,685]

Nahas? Na, has-been.

[Tony Tea 2,792]

Didn't we squash the Nahas nonsense several months ago?

Agreed but the Wiz often found himself a long way from home - never stopped him though just meant he had to run a little further (the length of the ground). Edited October 28, 2013 by Young Dee

Oh did we? Guess we cant recruit him now!, A bunch of demonlanders dont like the idea.

What a load of garbage! If we sign this bloke I'll turn in my membership! So that is a no from me! Why not take the gamble on Garlett, another Jeff framer in the making, just slightly taller.

[Carlos Danger 380]

Nahas appears to have fallen out of favour with the coach, like Ball did with Lyon and more recently Savage with Clarkson.

Had kicked 97 goals from 77 games coming into this season and he's 25.

I'd be happy with getting him as a Delisted FA.

No he isn't a picture maker. I meant Jeff Farmer

Not worthy of pick 9 and unlikely to be available at pick 40, how exactly would the "gamble on Garlett" happen?
