October 26, 2013 11:02 AMROBIN Nahas is committed to continuing his AFL career despite not finding a home during the trade period, and is prepared to go anywhere to do it.
The 25-year-old is expected to be delisted by Richmond this week after he didn't move from the Tigers during the Gillette AFL Player Exchange Period.
He will now decide whether to enter next month's NAB AFL Draft or the pre-season draft in a bid to continue his AFL journey.
West Coast has expressed some interest while there have been a few other clubs who have made preliminary enquiries about the 83-game forward.
Nahas could be recruited by another club as a delisted free agent once the Tigers have made their call, with the first window opening on Friday, November 1.
He is also open to taking on a rookie list spot and moving interstate if it became an option.
The pacy goal-kicker has been holidaying overseas but will return this weekend.
Nahas started his career at Punt Road as a rookie after being taken by the Tigers with their first selection in the 2008 rookie draft.
He had caught their eye during his third season with VFL club Port Melbourne with a 50-goal year, which won him the Fothergill-Round medal for being the most promising young talent in the competition.
He made his AFL debut in round two, 2009, after being elevated to the senior list for former captain Kane Johnson, and went on to play 19 games in his first year.
He won Richmond's best first-year player award for his efforts.
Nahas played just six games this season after falling behind the likes of Jake King and Shane Edwards at the selection table.
The Tigers were quiet during the trade period overall, bringing in Carlton ruckman Shaun Hampson early and losing Matt White to Port Adelaide via free agency.
Luke McGuane will also leave the club and is keen to join former Richmond assistant coach Justin Leppitsch at the Brisbane Lions in the next few weeks.
The first list lodgement deadline is Thursday, October 31 at 2pm.
