If was to leave, why would he want to do a meet and greet with fans, the last week of the season? He stays!

But Steele is gone according to Stavro

This is pretty bizarre for a kid who clearly doesn’t thrive off interviews etc etc.

Absolutely zero chance he does this function if the contract situation is still open-ended. Would become a farce!!

He's clearly taking the piss out of the whole thing.

No need to read into it too much.

Essendon have fallen below us

 

[Saintos The ITK]

And I don’t think Carlton are far away. Weren’t they supposed to be top this year????

 

[OxSaint]

Reckon Ross is taking aim at the manager, not Nas.

Seems like Nas is staying but the manager keeps delaying answers/moving the goal posts after every game and the club is just sick of it.

Between Delina and Ross’s comments there is clearly frustration front the saints stand point on how this is transpiring.

 

[thekizzler]

Yeah, north will fall apart in the third quarter

You're a prophet.

 

[jwikked]

You're a prophet.

Did we win?

And they did fall apart in the third quarter

 

[Remboy]

And I don’t think Carlton are far away. Weren’t they supposed to be top this year????

Yeah, them and Essendon are both destination clubs.

 

[Mr Clunk]

So what do we do with the B&F if Nas requests a trade?

Give him the invite but rig it and award it to Byrnes?

 

[Saints TV]

Windy just liked my recent Insta reel of Nas... it's done

 

[Remboy]

On the "battle on our hands" - perhaps you're right that it's about the fight to keep him. But if you're going to analyse every word out of Ross' mouth so closely, what do you make of him saying we're trying to develop a player for the next 8 years? Are we developing him for Port Adelaide?

As for the "hopefully he has a heart" - the man was joking. He had literally just said "I don't have a heart, so it wouldn't work on me" and was smiling and laughing through the whole answer. The truth is, fans holding up signs isn't going to make any difference whatsoever. Ross knows that.

I would really caution against taking anything Ross Lyon says too seriously. Nas might leave, but reading between the lines of Ross' press conference word salad is riddiculous. Especially grumpy Ross.

If you listen to what Ross said backwards it was 'NAZ is dead to me, bring on TDK'.
Gone.

Was the Insta reel of Nas slowly morphing into Max Gawn

In the fullness of time

 

[Sir Owens]

A train wreck?

Got to be kidding with that one. What is achieved by being overly dramatic about every little thing?

We’ll soon find out who’s right and who’s wrong

 

[LJC05]

If we believe the rumours and the ruck rules will go back to a jumping contest and not a grappling contest then the TDK acquisition is even better as that’s what he does best and we may start to get first use for a change.

If he does leave, that interview still told you absolutely nothing despite you wanting to claim it did.

 

[TheJackal]

Somehow Chito's better half just had a post (of her and Mitch) suggested to me on instagram. It took all of my willpower not to comment and ask her if she can find Nas a girlfriend from her friendship group.

I'm more confident now than I have been.

Nas hasn't 'put off talks', but instead has spoken of how much he loves the club.

Misson mentioning last week they are expecting to hear something in the next week. If he was leaving then surely he wouldn't be telling them beforehand.

He mentioned after the game today he is sorting it out with the club and his manager.

The club was asked to put together a 2 year deal weeks ago.

To me it all points to the idea that the hold up is Nas considering either a 2 year deal or a longer term deal.

Hoping we know more by this time next week.

 

[Ads734]

Can you imagine this place when we sign TDK and Naz leaves.

the world might actually cave.

 

[hoovinha]

Dunno if I'm in the minority but I'm excited if we sign TDK. His form hasn't been great of late but the media talk around his contact, coupled with playing in a side which was expected to challenge (I never saw it) had probably contributed.

• Salary cap space is bank it and use it or lose it. Considering the past 4 years, it's likely that his contact is going to be massively front ended and drop down to a reasonable amount when everyone else is coming up for renewal around the new CBA at the end of 27. Use it now on TDK and Aleer. It's either on them or others unproven on the list. There is more than enough room for him and NWM, windy etc... in the past we have just overpaid spuds, let's take a risk in the chase for the 2nd flag.

• I love Marshall, but he's the wrong side of 30 and no Gawn where he will improve from here. There is no upside. I see Heath as his replacement and Dodson as the understudy. Maybe as a backup is King falls over?

• Greg Swann had made it no secret that he hates the current centre Ruck wrestles and wants change. He was the same at Brisbane. If changes are made to favour tap ruckman with leap, TDK is perfect and RoMa is dead in the water. The 6-6-6 rule makes centre tap work more important than ever, having a leaper putting it down the throat of Garcia, Boxhall, NWM etc... is worth the punt. At the least, the bounce is gone I reckon which will favour tap ruckman.

• TDK is only 26. Using half a season of middling form to determine he will be a bust is as sensible as using half a season to determine that someone is worth 2m a year....

I think Dougs is near gone and Webster will be another yard slower next year so we need to keep churning and getting people in under a fantastic coach. Putting someone like Dodson up against Gawn, Witts etc.. Weekly at this stage of his career is a recipe for disaster.

Agreed. But 1.8 mill is a ridiculously amount of money for TDK
It's Ben McKay crazy
Especially when we have
Heath
Keeler
Dodson
Carlton fans don't seem perturbed by TDK contemplating leaving in any way shape or form
If anything it frees up salary cap and makes carlton stronger

Butters had 10 possies...

Now that's a sign of a player completely unsure of his future.
