I am surprised by his selection.
He is replacing a small forward, but has been playing half back for Coburg for a number of weeks now.
The more obvious replacement is McDono who has been playing mid/forward and his form has been as good, if not better than Nakas.
Nakas is playing for his career, at Richmond, or most likely elsewhere, and this often leads to selfish, non team orientated play. This has been my major criticism of his game at Coburg. Gets a lot of cheap disposals running around the back but then simply turns it over or goes backwards way too often for an AFL player. Looks good on the disposal count, but does not help the team.
Will be interested to see his level of team orientated play today.
