List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[SaintOfLondon]

Didn't Battle say he's out the moment our season finished?

Nope, he told the boys at Mad Monday he was staying as well as Ross and co, not long after that he announced he was leaving

 

[unrelentingbelief]

surely if the club was nervous about nas or even windy for that matter leaving they wouldn’t be posting them on the advertisements? Like, here get pumped about these guys, lol just kidding they’re gone..

We are StKilda after all

And why would Nas do a meet and greet at Seaford hotel

He's a shoe-in to win the b and f so it would be weird not to put him on it. Don't know what Windy's doing there though.

No one would have questioned it if they put Sinclair and Wilkie as the past 2 winners.

Cash

Surely someone about to earn 2 million a year doesnt need to be putting himself in an uncomfortable situation like that for some extra cash

 

[Yawkey way]

Nah, I am with him. We get screwed by the AFL with NFA's and FS, get screwed with shit fixtures and timeslots, they say do everything right, we do and grab a star at pick 11, and we are about to get screwed over with inadequate compensation.
We are just a feeder club that is not allowed to get better by the AFL.

Doesn’t worry me, it simply highlights what our president has been saying and we’ve all known for years.

I can’t believe we’re actually heading anywhere with our plans for TDK and Aleer and that’s on us. If Nas leaves which looks likely to me the measure of the club will be what we look like post trade and draft.

I’ll dance up and down and complain about the comp and who we should have chased or drafted but it’s all just a laugh, it’s entertainment nothing more.

 

[botts]

I don’t believe his manager or anyone close to nas would tell him to leave the saints. We have the best coaches and support staff around him. Stable club and done absolutely everything right by him. He loves the club and his mates and I just find it hard to believe he could get more home sick after 4 years.
Saying that though if he is waiting till the year is finish to make his decision I would say he would be paying $1.10 to leave.

Couple hundred bucks to have saints fans looking at you wondering if your leaving for two hours in a small room… worth it a lot more likely the deal is done by then.

 

[Yawkey way]

Lets be realistic he's probably won the thing by now.

Unlike Battle I don't think we can say "don't show up" if he wants out.

We got bagged when we told battle not to show up, so we can’t win. Nas will have earnt his win, if he’s uncomfortable well bad luck. He’ll find out what pressure is next year, stay or go the expectations will be different and he’ll be hunted week in week out by the opposition.

they only do that to good players though, dont they? not players who get "cheapies" all the time

 

[Diehard Saint]

The clubs need to start fighting back. Stop trading players who signed an extension 12 months ago. Fight for proper value instead of giving in to anything the big managers want.

Nothing will change unless the clubs start taking a stand.

AFLPA appear to have a lot of power.

 

[StFly]

Would be a huge risk for Nas going to SA.
Saints play with “give it to Nas” mode. Crows and Port less likely to hand it off to NAS at every chance like his current team mates do.

Especially with gather round.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Remember when we were upset at the idea he would only sign for 2 years. They were good times.

 

[Diehard Saint]

I expect him to sign on.

For longer than two years too.

Just blind faith?

Praying you are correct!

 

[MightySaintas]

Anyone else feeling a bit ceebs and at the point where they’re not fussed? Love to keep him but the longer is drags on I just don’t see him signing. Rather just know either way and be done

 

[Yawkey way]

When have I said he’s not a gun ?.

What I’ve said is the hype around him is crazy, that we’re playing Nas ball and he turns it over a lot playing like this. Factually 2nd in clangers per game 2nd in total clangers, 2nd in turnovers per game and 1st in total turnovers. Also lots of easy ball.

He is a very good young player with a great all round game, he puts his head over the ball, flys for marks and has some special traits, I’d love to keep him and see what he settles into.

I’ll guarantee port or Adelaide won’t use him the way we have lately.

 

[bergholt]

I’m really good friends with the Wanganeens as well as the Mileras. Out of respect for their privacy I refuse to ask them for any inside information.

Nas tried to tell me about his plans in the sauna this morning but I was worried people on here wouldn’t believe me so I stuck my fingers in my ears, squeezed my eyes shut, and screamed “LA LA LA” until he was gone

 

[MightySaintas]

Time to trade Nas out. Get what we can and move on from the mercenary

 

[Veer Right]

Perfectly said.

 

[TheJackal]

Can we please stop suggesting that Butters would be involved in a hypothetical trade for Nas

Zak Butters does not want to play for St Kilda

Not the first time I've read this on here. Why is everyone stating this unequivocally as fact?

 

[Saints4ever]

Not the first time I've read this on here. Why is everyone stating this unequivocally as fact?

Because we’re not seen as a successful club.

If you wasn’t a saints supporter and you had the option to choose between a successful club and us what would you choose?

 

[StCicatriz]

St Kilda have given their final contract to Nas. There won’t be another one offered. You don’t get to that point if talks aren’t progressing well

Of course you do when the other person is non committal
