The report contains a logical contradiction: claiming Nasiah is simultaneously “leaning towards joining Adelaide” and “hasn’t come to a definitive decision.”

These statements are mutually exclusive - “leaning towards” indicates he has formed a preference or inclination, while “hasn’t decided” suggests he remains completely undecided. You cannot be both inclined toward a specific option and genuinely undecided at the same time.

As others have pointed out, the contradiction is obvious: You cannot lean without having made some level of decision about your preference. “Leaning” IS a form of preliminary decision-making - it means you’ve weighed options and one is currently favored.

It’s like saying someone is walking north but hasn’t decided which direction to go. The act of leaning toward something inherently requires having made at least a provisional judgment between alternatives.

This contradiction isn’t accidental; it’s calculated journalistic hedging - essentially an each way bet that allows the hack to claim accuracy regardless of the outcome. If Nasiah joins Adelaide, they can point to “leaning towards,” but if he goes elsewhere, they can cite “hasn’t decided” to cover themselves. The reporter is attempting to front run an official announcement while using weasel words to avoid accountability if wrong.

This lets them generate clicks with breaking news headlines, creating the impression of inside knowledge without actually committing to anything concrete.

Sorry but there is no contradiction there. You have ignored the word "definitive" before "decision".
 
The only bit of hope I'm hanging onto that he has stated he's staying is that the club have allowed him to speak to the media.

If the club wasn't sure they wouldn't allow for that to happen as he could slip up and create PR disaster.

Media haven't spoken to TDK and Allen because well..... They're gone.

But then again, that probably means FA lol

You have put a lot of effort into that post, but you can lean towards joining one club without making a definitive decision.

I know I've been in similar head spaces when making big decisions in my life and I'm sure if you think hard you would have too.

Perhaps. How could Will Faulkner possibly know what’s going on inside Nasiah’s head? Unless Nasiah sat down with him and said “I’m leaning towards Adelaide but haven’t decided,” the journalist is essentially mind-reading.

So it’s not an exclusive is it. It’s a thought in your head. It may happen, it may not.

It’s just nothing.

It doesn’t get us closer to the players supposed decision seeing as he could have another thought later tonight about port and after his morning shit back at the club tomorrow, it might be about us.

Maybe he’ll ask to play for all 3 clubs going forward.

I think if he knows NWM is definitely leaning towards Adelaide than that would be an exclusive.

He probably doesn't though and it's probably just more fluff, just like most things that get throw around this year.

Like anything, take it with a grain of salt and don't get worked up about it.

No idea, maybe he's told a family member or his manager and it's gotten back to him.

It could also be third or fourth hand information that he's gotten wrong.

One thing I doubt is that he's completely made it up though. But like anything I'd take it with a grain of salt.
 
I saw that interview with Nas after the game on Friday night when they showed it on the Sunday Footy Show this morning.

I missed it as I was watching the Freo v Brisbane game, now I can see why people think he's leaving, it didn't sound good.

I’m far from worked up about it.

But it’s far from an exclusive without also being presented with a single shred of evidence to support the argument.

The comment was more directed at the novel I was originally replying to suggesting it was a contradiction (it wasn't).

Whether it's an exclusive or not is neither here or there I suppose.

Well if there are not facts to support the big exclusive…

It’s just a nothing.

Which is the only point that matters
 
Imagine if Nas & Windy are already locked up but SOS is just cooking in the background and telling them to keep causing chaos so that TDK gets cold feet and we end up landing another midfield jet or something with that cash
