Past #28: Robin Nahas - delisted by NM - 34 games for the club - thank you Robin

[The Nostradamus]

love this bloke, more finals wins then cotchin, deledio and the rest of the tigers combined.

 

[Horace]

Very nice to see. Well worth his spot on the list. The article also mentions, BMac, Majak, Spud - another year - and Sammy W. (And I won't mention that the article mentions Treloar again.)

Give Sam Wright a longer contract. Make it happen, Euge.

 

[Smoocher]

Great news. Has given his heart and soul to this club in his short time with us. May not get a game every week but between him, Garner, Turner and LT we have the small forward role covered with plenty of flexibility and depth.

[True North]

Wright deserves another year added on. Hasn't really put a foot wrong.

 

[nelroo]

Wrapped for Robbie.

At worst he will provide solid depth.

I'm on the Bees for 2015 VFL flag.

Ooopps make that 2016!!

 

[kangaspurs]

I'm delighted that Robbie seems to be staying on; he's been outstanding since he first arrived at the club. I'm surprised to admit that he's now one of my favourites; its remarkable considering I really didn't like him at Richmond.

 

[TwentyNine]

Deserves to hold on his spot for another year, though I think it will be on the rookie list.

 

[muttley45]

Robbie got a mention from Spud Frawley on the Bounce show @ the MCG tonight, referred to him as The Human Tripod

Champion

 

[Greater Gattsby]

Should be on Instagram, with his ready access to a tripod.

Should be on Australia's got talent if you ask me :stern look

 

[DarwinRoo]

Time and time again we've seen Nahas' name come up in the changes thread. But is he even eligible to be played?

Is he rookie listed or on the senior list?

 

[giantroo]

He is rookie listed but he can be elevated for Jed if required.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Has really given his all for us despite his limitations.

You know you are always going to get 100% from Robbie.

Would be good to see him given another opportunity.

 

[TheKanga]

Wouldn't mind seeing him get a chance, he's been a solid player for us.
LT is struggling for form at the moment, anyone know what his deal his?

 

[DarwinRoo]

He is rookie listed but he can be elevated for Jed if required.

That pretty much says it all. He hasn't been elevated so no point in naming a guy who isn't allowed to play.

 

[Harris 10]

Players get their chance to earn their spot today, hopefully several put their hand up.

Rookie Robin to the Roos' rescue against Saints?
Nick Bowen May 3, 2016 7:00 AM


ROBIN Nahas is a strong chance to be elevated from North Melbourne's rookie list as the Roos grapple with a sudden shortage of small forwards ahead of their clash with St Kilda on Sunday.

North is likely to be without both Kayne Turner and Lindsay Thomas against the Saints following its win over the Western Bulldogs last Friday night.

Turner suffered a hamstring injury early in the second quarter against the Dogs and sat out the remainder of the game, while Thomas has been offered a one-match suspension for his head-high tackle on Lachie Hunter in the final term.

Compounding those likely losses, North has been without fellow small forward Jed Anderson since he suffered a serious hamstring injury against Adelaide in round one.

Nahas shapes as the best available like-for-like replacement for Turner and North has room for him on its senior list while Anderson remains on the long-term injury list.

Tall forward Mason Wood looms as another likely inclusion against St Kilda after his best-on-ground performance for Werribee in the VFL on Saturday.

Wood kicked four goals from 23 possessions against Footscray at the Whitten Oval, while Nahas kicked two in the same game.

One of the keys to North's 6-0 start to 2016 has been the defensive pressure it has applied inside its forward 50.

Wood told the club's website after Saturday's game that he knew his chances of a senior recall would depend largely on his ability to apply defensive pressure.

"I just had a massive focus on defensive acts and tackling and that kind of thing so it was sort of a different game for me this week. I think to really break into that side I've got to do those things," Wood said.

"I just had a massive emphasis on those things and I think I did them as well as I've done, so I’m happy with that side of my game."

North played Wood, 192cm, alongside fellow talls Drew Petrie, Jarrad Waite and Ben Brown with some success in its round four win over Fremantle at Domain Stadium.

Wood was a late withdrawal from the Roos' team the following round against Gold Coast, when North opted to bring in Turner because of the slippery conditions at Metricon Stadium.

obviously a speculative/opinion piece as there is no news on the NMFC site. prolly based on our own changes for round 7 thread.

not that i have any issues with robbie coming in.

 

[Donkey Chop]

Nahas was recruited for exactly this situation

 

[Gasometer]

I would love for him to come in and kick 4 goals.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

My issue with Robin is stigma related. He can play, he deserves his shot, but I'd rather we give the opportunity to someone younger with a future.
