I feel it's my duty to discuss my little Robin Hood regarding last nights game.
Here goes:
(From FinalSiren.com)
Player K H D M HO T FF FA G B SC Rat
Robin Nahas 11 15 26 9 0 7 1 0 3 1 19 138
Joint Leading tackles with Grigg.
Put 19 on the score board, second behind Jack with 31.
Topped the players rating for richmond with 138, Foley at 123, Martin at 119.
In the teams top 5 for consistency this season, probably put him First or Second.
Never, ever, says die.
The kid just goes and goes.
At this time last year he had only played 4 games, 3 of which consisted of ratings under 60.
One at 104 against Freo when he kicked 3 goals 1 (19), same as this week.
Personally I think he had/has a lot to prove, in his 3rd season now and found his role in the team.
People have been worried of his size, short and lean, but boy can his legs go. Not only the speed but he still gets in there, puts his body on the line and is almost always in the thick of things, fighting to keep the ball in the play.
To me, he seems to be to find position a lot easier, doesnt get lost and genuinely tries to get the ball to our 50 asap rather than using the basketball approach across the back.
Did not get caught with the ball once, which is something he has a knack of doing when he tries to run around 5 players and look all spupermanish. Has given away 5 frees so far this season, not one last night.
Up until last nights game he had not put one score on the board.
I was looking for the write words to some up his performace but I'll quate Paul Daffey from the AFL site..
"Richmond's small forward duo of King and
Nahas embodied their team's victory in that they played with courage, dash and flair".
