Unofficial Preview Sam and Tom break WA's brain and other Trade discussions 2025

[Bugs1977]

Three firsts. But I feel Eagles would most likely ask for two top ten picks plus a high calibre ready to go player.
On a side note, port haven't got the picks to get the Nas deal done, so, it makes sense that we off load three firsts for them to have the draft capital to get Nas by agreeing to let Butters get to us, this year. This may get some traction in the industry soon as it makes sense for all parties involved.

Poor old Butters having to play for such a sh*tty club like that. Wasting away his talents is so criminal.

Can give Port a “win” too if they receive 3 1sts for Butters but only send out 2 for Nas.

Hawks get Butters and Port get Nas. It’s a win/win with the only loser being the saints, and who gives a crap about them anyway

 

[Billyc]

Agree that the NWM is the key to Port considering letting Butters move this year rather than holding him for next year. If NWM wants to return home, Port would be foolish not to go all out to get him

Lost the battle and are losing the war

If the Saints let NWM leave they might as well fold the club.

The AFL should help him out and fold the club anyway.

Through what mechanism can they stop him leaving?

Only mechanism is the eagles having pick 1 in the PSD. Who would want to risk ending up there.

If the saints and Roos merged would they even be a top 8 side

The more things change, the more they will stay the same.

There is no way they are letting him go and my gut feeling is that despite the homesickness stories - he's actually really happy at StKilda

Top 18.


Maybe.

Not with either of the 2 old blokes coaching them now.

But seriously, they should merge them & send them to a country league that no one cares about

Is this even possible?

Any news yet of Mitch and Lyndell flying via Tongala on the way home this morning?

JR has good relationship with him but not sure that would equate to moving

It’s kitchen sink time for Harley!!!

I don’t think West Coast are super keen on a 11 year contract at 2 mill a season. Still a bit to play out I think.

Still time to change his mind
