Nahas has been linked to St Kilda and Carton in the rookie draft.[/quote] Nahas is not listed on the "permission to train with" list - does this limit his chances of being rookied?

I dont think it does hillbilly. Nahas has has been on display in the VFL for 3 years. Im pretty confident AFL teams know what he can do. He also played very well in the state game which shows he play well against good opposition.

Quote:Bombers set sights on speedy VFL midfielder DELISTED AFL players have little hope of resurrecting their careers in the AFL pre-season draft, with at least three of the six clubs with selections firmly committed to youth. Recruiting managers at Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Essendon, Carlton, the Brisbane Lions and Richmond have identified the spectre of the new AFL team on the Gold Coast and, further down the track, western Sydney, as the basis for their decisions. Essendon is keen to snare Port Melbourne's pint-sized speedster Robin Nahas in either the AFL pre-season or rookie drafts on December 16. The Bombers, who are holding their cards close to their chest in the lead-up to the draft, are aiming to replenish their midfield and ruck stocks, according to list manager Adrian Dodoro. Nahas, 20, is one of the most explosive midfielders in the VFL and played all 22 games this year with the Borough. The scintillating ball-winner was Port's second-best goalkicker with 49 and was Victoria's best in the state game against South Australia in May, culminating in him being named the league's best young player. "Guys like Nahas and a few others are going to get an opportunity purely because they've performed with guys who are on AFL lists," Dodoro said. "He's certainly a player that we're looking at." It is likely the Bombers will choose the best available young talent with their one and only selection in the pre-season draft after "casting the net far and wide" over the past week. Former Crow and Bendigo Bomber Hayden Skipworth is the only delisted AFL player invited to train with the club, but Dodoro said there were no guarantees for the 25-year-old.
