Three seasons after he graduated from the Oakleigh Chargers, Nahas, who also won the 2008 Frank Johnson Medal for the best Victorian player in the state match against South Australia, was finally given that chance. It’s history now that Richmond rolled the dice on the former Port Melbourne and VFL representative at the end of 2008, selecting him in the NAB AFL Rookie Draft. Nahas was elevated from the rookie list before the start of the AFL season and has been one of the few revelations in an otherwise forgettable season for the Tigers. The 21-year-old has played 18 games and kicked more than 20 goals to reaffirm his recognition as last year’s winner of the Fothergill-Round Medal, named in honour of Des Fothergill and Barry Round – the only players to have won a Brownlow Medal and J.J.
