List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[St Neil]

What else is the Port CEO going to say to the question lol? "No, we have no #$%^ing way of getting a trade done if he wants to come".

Correct.

Clickbait.

 

[Mat Mann]

Comparing Nas to them then.
Is just wrong

if he's holding out for money? then, no!

I am preparing for him to go

The AFL has to do something about this year’s draft. They can’t let the farce with all these Academy and Father-Son players play out.

Possibly the AFL puts in place bridging rules in 2025 that transitions to an uncompromised first round in 2026.

Maybe something like only being allowed to match one bid in the first round, but the bid must be matched with a later pick in the first round.

Still not good enough, but much better than what is in place.

The AFL put in place transitional rules to tighten the NGA Academies.

We’d all like that but zero chance of happening

The NGA tightening took 1 year before anything then top 20 then top 40

The AFL has the data, the clubs and I’m sure the AFL can run the models. They know the outcomes. It’s the AFL themselves we are campaigning against

 

[botts]

Correct.

Clickbait.

If you actually listen to the whole interview it sounds like port has no idea either

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Okay the clapping at the 7 minute mark didn’t seem to have the desired effect, nor did the We Love You Nas signs. Time to take it up a notch.

At the 7 minute mark of the first quarter on Saturday 7 skydivers will form a letter 7 as they fall towards the MCG from some rickety old airplane.

If anyone knows how to jump, or has a parachute they are welcome to participate. But be quick as we only have 7 spots left to fill

Do you have a link to the interview? I can only find the aggregated quotes people are posting, would like to give it a listen myself.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Butters and nas would be an elite combination. I can see why they’ll hold butters to his contract

 

[SainterinSydney]

Well, we can hold Nas to his contract as well!

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Maybe he just said “hey I wanna play my best footy til the end of the year and then get around to contracts and signing etc”

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

A generation player though.
Again l state, if we dont serve up to his manager what he wants. (Nas is just letting his manager do his job)
Nas go's to Port ( win-win for him either way.)
And he goes to Port-wins a Brownlow & a Prem.
Big loss for us.

Definitely a great player and a massive, massive loss. But AFL is played with 23 on a field, and one player does not make or break a team. If we lose him, we will recover. We're not plummeting down the ladder because one player leaves, particularly if we get decent trade compensation

 

[Thirsty_NeedBeer]

From what I’ve heard it’s more likely Nas will sign on for two years, to save my own sanity I’m going to back in my (limited) information until some substantial information tells me otherwise. That means not reading into Nas’s post game interviews, Ross’s interviews that could go either way or journos shooting randomly hoping for a hit.

Also doubt Nas is going to turn up to that event, regardless if he’s signing on or not.

Why would Nas agree to appear at a Fan Function if he’s gonna be a no-show, contract stuff aside?

 

[jwikked]

Why would Nas agree to appear at a Fan Function if he’s gonna be a no-show, contract stuff aside?

It was probably organized 6 months ago, with no thought to his contract situation

 

[heynow85]

He’s gone.

Just hope it turns into a Tim Kelly

situation and it cripples Port for the foreseeable future.

 

[stavro#4]

People should actually listen to the audio. As non committal as anything. Even says “a lot of water to go under the bridge” with regards to getting a deal done for Nas.

 

[AirWinmar]

That's my point though.

Are we going to be upset as a fan base if the hold up is the club's reluctance to pay Nas $2m a year for 2 years for argument sake, and they only want to pay him that $2m if he signs on for longer

If he ends up leaving, yes I think most would. Would rather keep him for 2 than lose him altogether

 

[botts]

If he does leave this will be the most important trade period in 30 years. Could make or break us. Geelong turned tim Kelly

April 2025..What a time to be alive

My mind keeps going to exactly these images of a player that was fully invested in this club.

 

[Remboy]

Just thinking outside the box, if NAS goes to Port they will have one thing we want, which is NAS. So if NAS asks to go to Port we just ask them to give him back in return. Should be easy to sort out.

 

[BrutThough]

My mind keeps going to exactly these images of a player that was fully invested in this club.

You only have to go back 10 days to see images and actions of him being fully invested in the club.

That's why so many are still holding onto the hope this contract gets worked out.

 

[aidansbonor]

Talks about it at 5mins to go to save anyone the time

Throw Nicky Winmar & Lenny Hayes up there

 

[stavro#4]

And at 9 and at like 12/13.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Well, we haven't climbed up the ladder with the other 22 either.
Long-term he's one big important part to our future success.

 

[BrutThough]

And at 9 and at like 12/13.

Spending more time talking about Nas than Ross does.

 

[Coconut_twirl]

They offer something mildly acceptable like two firsts (2026, 2027) and two seconds (2025, 2027) and say "it's a fair offer" and then we have to decide if we take scraps or get nothing when he walks to the PSD.

That’s exactly what will happen. Club won’t just accept nothing and send him to PSD. They might offer a couple of players with the picks - for example, Berry and Whitlock,

 

[stavro#4]

Spending more time talking about Nas than Ross does.

It’s such click bait quotes.


On Butters’ potential involvement with potential NWM trade:

“All these things are hypotheticals”

“We’ve got a strong list mgmt team…we’ll put our faith and confidence that whatever they do this year will improve our list going into 2026”


Last one on Nas:

if he nominated the club as his club of choice. Do you believe you can get the deal done ? Are you in a position to get the deal done?

“Yeah I’m confident if that were to happen our guys could make the deal happen. BUT THERE IS ALOT OF WATER TO GO UNDER THE BRIDGE YET”
