Robin Nahas

[Smoking Aces]

Have watched the replay. He was deplorable. No other word for it. Gave us a net negative & in a close game that kills you.

Has some real positives but some real negatives in his armoury.

Needs to lift against the good teams if he wants to have a long career.

IMO he plays his best football when he plays further up the ground and provides the link work with the other midfielders. Playing that role last was seeing him getting over 20 touches a game and at least a goal. He is a player who needs to be on the move and use his asset which is his pace.

We miss King.

His not Milne, but he lives playing port!

Not sure about that. I recall his performance last round 2010 against Port as probably the low point of his AFL career so far, turnover after turnover. I had given up on him then and was in favour of delisting him.
Then he turned it around and was fantastic last year, especially in the first half of the year. Now his form is poor again, that was the worst game I have seen him play since 2010.
Perhaps he is just one of these players with a massive gap between his best and worst? Also it is worth noting that his best footy was actually played last year as a midfielder not as a small forward.

Great rap up there little Stinger!
it's so important he improves again otherwise I can't see Hardwick holding onto him.

No evidence but have a feeling Robbie has reverted to some old bad habits. It's true he was close to being delisted at the end of 2010 before turning it around.
Needs to be running at 100% to make an impact with his limitations, otherwise he quickly becomes a passenger.
I expect Dimma will be pretty displeased with his start to the season.

 

[TheCan]

I reckon he should be more mid into forward try work him into last years form, instead of out an out small forward, as currently the fact Jack and Ty are not in form and are not even bringing down the ball to ground where our crummers are, compounds the fact our forward is currently way below par as a whole, so you cant really point out Robins form in that respect, in fact i would say Jack has been far worse and needs to take a good look at himself too. So far only Miller is doing his job up there. Stays in for AAMI trip robin loves that ground and has best one of our best on that ground last couple of years.

 

[TigerForce]

Rarely makes a clanger, kicks to position and certain goals most times, and some are out to shoot him when Jack and Tyro have also been low.

Gets done holding the ball a bit ala Edwards 2010/2011, but has otherwise been good.

Plenty more to look at before Nahas.

 

[Harry]

thought he was good against geelong but useless against WC. reckon he'll be the sub this week

 

[Brodders17]

i agree with those who reckon he is missing King, primarily b without Jake down there, Nahas is really our only small forward option, meaning he has to play closer to goals than he likes. As has been said, Nahas plays his best footy when he is running up and down the ground, not stuck waiting for the ball to be kicked to him. Hopefully Kings return this week will see Nahas back running.

Doubt it Harry. We're struggling in attack already. Poor form doesn't mean you're the sub. Give it to Dea or White.

Excellent game today by Nahas welcome back to form

Just wish he'd keep his feet a bit better.

 

[Barnzy]

Matthew White over Nahas? Some people. :rofl

 

[Tigersub]

Good solid effort today by Nahas

 

[Streak]

Put King in the team, and Nahas is a different player.

Yeah I have to agree on that. Must know that King has his back.

gee, I'm insightful. sometimes.

it seems that way.

I called for Nahas' head last week, I take it back Robbie. Great game today, well done.

Loved your attack on the ball and the man today, top defensive game also. :clap
