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.
 
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.
 
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.

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….
 
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.

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.
 
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

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.

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.

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
