Rumour Nic Nat contract talks to be put on hold

[Parquet Court]

have heard that nic nats management will not negotiate a contract extension during the 2014 season and have said they will not begin talks until 2014 has concluded.

pretty obvious who the suitor for his services in 2015 might be

 

[thekelvin]

I heard he wants to talk about it at the end of 2014 so he can concentrate on moving to GWS on his footy.

 

[DanWA]

While i won't rule it out, it would be out of character due to his strong family/community ties here.

 

[Parquet Court]

i would be surprised if he left but this just adds to the heightens the tension during the season if it is true

 

[le dominateur]

Straight swap with Melbourne for Jack Watts?

 

[iBeng]

Melbourne will throw the works at him after finnally confessing that they were meant to pick him, not Watts.

 

[Masto]

Nic Nat will be linked with GWS all year. Then after the Eagles win the premiership, he will sign with the Sydney Swans.

Throw in a few more Jacks and we'll talk.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

If Naitanui has a big season he'll be worth a lot more than he is now.

 

[Prudster]

Hawthorn could probably throw 1-2 million a year at him. He's one of the few guys i would happily pay that for.

Nic Nat is a little more problematic for potential clubs than Buddy because he's not a free agent as he's only had 6 years service at the end of 2014 - 2 years short. For that reason i'd be astounded if he walked out as there's no guarantee he can get to where he wants to go.

West Coast would probably want 2 top 10 picks for him too.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

At least we know already who the Swans will be recruiting in 2015.

If he puts price on his head that only GWS can afford he will just walk to them in the pre season draft. Suns,Giants and swans don't play by the same rules and don't need free agency to get what they want.

That rule applies to anyone. But gee, you'd think it would want to be a massive offer. Like $1.5m a year for 5+ years. Possibly more.

Thanks Ben.

 

[etsal1]

Probably just wants to have a season to concentrate on his footy given his recent injury issues. Not surprised. As a neutral supporter, I couldn't see him leaving the Eagles.

 

[lewigie]

I would pay him a bazillion dollars a year. He won't leave anyway but I'm sure he knows how much he's worth.

 

[FuManchu]

Cameo player, overrated for his output, not overrated for his ability.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

West Coast will probably demand some ridiculous picks for him if he does chase money.

 

[Darcy 2 Fyfe]

Would be a great get for a side with a more capable midfield. I would prefer him than Buddy. Just have to soak him in the sheep dip for a few days to de-wiggle him.

 

[spudmaster]

McEvoy + NicNat sounds like a decent combo

 

[Chris_6678]

I would dare say he wants to get through Pre-season before he signs on.

 

[mick06]

His groins are shot.

We will run him into the ground this year and trade him for Patton, pick 3 and Tony Notte

 

[ziad]

If Naitanui has a big season he'll be worth a lot more than he is now.

nothing like a few medals, AA and a cup leading into an offer of team captain to help with the salary

 

[Silent Alarm]

Too much of a Perth person to leave I'd say.
