[Kane McGoodwin]

Yeah I have, he is an excellent player. I'm not sure he is the player we need though.

Every team needs a NWM, including us.

Laser boot and express pace?

I’d play Nas in the middle* and let Ranks sit forward and kick 60 (or wherever the heck he wants)

 

[Mostyn]

Or NWM is similar to Rankine and will only request a trade if their club get fair compensation, Port Power had Bergman who had trade capital along with their 2026 1st rounder but they decided to re-sign him so we might be in a better chance then initially thought provided NWM really want to return home to family and isn't as fuss with playing for the Crows as reported by the media.

It's not fair compensation - it's offering enough compensation so the deal goes through without risk.

Rankine just wanted to know it could get done. It always does, though.

 

[Mostyn]

If NWM does come back to SA, then I'd hope he would be considered which team is going to be challenging for a flag over the next 5 years while he is entering his prime. If he does then we would have to be a strong consideration.

If he just wants to play with some mates and doesnt really care about winning a flag then he will go to Port.

If he comes to us he gets the best of both worlds, gets to play in a side playing finals and maybe win a flag, and can then spend his time away from the club with his mates and family.

Port feel they have a premiership quality list. I'm sure they and NAS think that he can push them over the line

Twomey seems to have very tight links with Port

Been on their training camps, regularly reported the Houston / Lukosius updates last year, and Bergman this year. Expect NWM to follow suit.

He also said that Port were the front runners for Dawson and Cumming - continues to link Draper to Brisbane ahead of Adelaide as well, bloke hates the Crows.

Its not that he hates the Crows, he just doesn't get any info from us.

Nor do many journos these days.

and he hates us because of it?

Let’s be honest, Koch uses his media network/contacts to put a positive spin on all things Port. Twomey, Whately etc. are all part of his closed-user group who are charged with pushing the Power agenda at the expense of other clubs, in particular us. How else has Hinkley escaped scrutiny for so long?

Meanwhile, we have the bumbling Shuttleworth….

 

[Sizzlepack]

Yeah I have, he is an excellent player. I'm not sure he is the player we need though.

I literally don't think there's a single player in the AFL we need more.

 

[BRL121]

He's a fine player. Any team would have him, but I don't know that we "need" him.

My main concern would be the effect on team harmony should he be brought in as our highest-paid player.

Our biggest weakness, especially against other good sides, is transition from D50. NWM is probably the best exponent of that in the game, he's young, he's South Australian, he's available.

 

[Crow_68]

Yeah I have, he is an excellent player. I'm not sure he is the player we need though.

Much better off sticking with Laird and Smith off half-back.

 

[Cromulant]

I dont think so no

Carlton have shown the effect of overpaying the top end of your list and filling the 23 with B/C Graders.

Port will head down the same path if they secure NWM’s services.

Our list is much more even and balanced.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

They’ll need to trade Butters in order to get NWM this year. There’s zero chance St Kilda would want scraps and they can’t trade a future first round pick either.

 

[spenze]

Much better off sticking with Laird and Smith off half-back.

But that isn't where people who want NWM want him played, they want him in the midfield

 

[I Lost My Keays]

We need a small forward pretty bad next season if we want to expose Rankine and Rachele in the midfield.
I would look to target Rosas, Ah Chee , Moir or Kade Chandler

I would also enquire about Phillipou too

 

[pjcrows]

The destination club always has the upper hand. If he does choose port over staying, the deal will get done. It pretty much always does. Saints will be bent over a barrel, poor bastards.

Correct.

I wouldn't look at Moir as a small forward, could turn into a handy player (could) but don't think he has the attributes to play that role, out of that list Ah Chee stands out.

I think Phillipou is a great option for a midfielder we have to be prepared that he may still have an injury curse, the poor bastard, I'd also enquire about Kane Mcauliffe to see whether we could sneak him back on the cheap.

Only if team culture is bad and we have a bunch of sooky Mitch McGoverns

Is there another Shaun Mannagh lurking somewhere in the state leagues?

 

[skittlebrew]

Yeah I have, he is an excellent player. I'm not sure he is the player we need though.

He's a player every team needs...

Gone of the days inside grunt work is king, elite footskills is where its at.

 

[Mutineer]

Is there another Shaun Mannagh lurking somewhere in the state leagues?

No and I'm not thinking a Mannagh type forward is what we need, IMO we need a more classic type small forward like a Papley.

 

[Scorpus]

Is there another Shaun Mannagh lurking somewhere in the state leagues?

Have to be careful with this thinking. This is how we recruit another Murphy.

Our recruiting of state league players has been awful. Probably shouldn't bother
