The Rookie Situation

Re: The Rookie Situation

For me it would be nice to have a player like a Robin Nahas, Cameron Lockwood or Chris Cain from the vfl. Surely that is what the rookie list is for?

Has he played a bad game for Willy this year? Only watch VFL on ABC but I haven't seen one. Wouldn't mind a tough inside mid type on the rookie list as a back-up to a Cross/Boyd, he seems he could make the step up if need be.

Yes he had had a couple. He also spend a few weeks in the 2nds. He's not quick which sort of works against him but he does give 100% each time he plays.

yeah he's not one i would pick up but he's a good player and i thought i'd mention him for all you willy fans.

I guarantee another club will pick up Nahas, and everyone will be thinking why didn't we just like Aaron Davey, Edwards, Boyd, Morris, etc etc.

Nahas is an annoying Milne-like type character, as SS alluded to, but I think he'll probably be picked up too CD. He's a clever player and has showed a bit.

I went to the VFL grand final and was hoping to see Nahas "turn it on". Unfortunately he got bumped off the ball far too easily. Having said that he has pace to burn and chases down his opponents. He is only 20 yo and would need to put on at least 10kg before he could handle playing AFL. Would be a worthy rookie player IMHO
Josh Smith impressed me with his reading of the play and attack on the footy, seems like a natural full forward, too bad he is on Norths list.

Josh Smith is an absolute monster. 190cm, but about 106kg. Fairly agile too.

According to his player profile he's 195cm!

Even better, i thought the ABC stats said 190.

In any event, he's an absolute tank. Kicked a good running goal too. Likes a likely sort. Would love to see how he handles the next step up.
