[Saintos The ITK]

If I was Tex I wouldn’t accept out of principle.

Everyone is free to post what they like, just as anyone is free to respectfully request that certain terms not be used in jest.

Whether they do or not is up to them.

Can you pray to God that we keep Nas please

 

[SainterinSydney]

As shit as it would be to lose Nas, getting Butters would certainly lessen the pain. I'd suspect he would end up our captain.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Done

 

[MightySaint]

The part that I absolutely don't get is that normally you'd have indications of the destination club being confident. Yet Port seem to be in the dark as much as we are. Very unusual.

This is why I find it bizarre. Port would be leaking it to the press to offset their shit season. If he was leaving, Port would have to know so they can start preparing putting together a trade package.

Remember all the leaks and reporting from Hawks with Battle?

 

[littlecreatures]

Really trying to stay positive that's he's staying, just don't think it's happening though
Its pretty sad that it is stressing me out this much

I’m with you Mowy. Bloody depressing time to be a Saints fan. Absolutely heart wrenching

 

[Saintos The ITK]

stays

Seeme to be the overwhelming consensus.
Were an optimistic mob.

 

[Captain Paddy]

How funny if we pick up Tex, Nas stays, Tex becomes good and Nas signs on for life in two years.

Cheers Dons

The Tex information is relevant to this and formed the clubs confidence.

Date of the below piece is relevant to the date Tex was trying to transfer across to Sandy.



This interview was around the same time.




The fact the Tex story was leaked was to counter the rich old powerbroker story that apparently didn’t land well with the family.


In short. Nothings changed because it’s been reported now.

There's nothing coming from the crows either

Good sleuthing.

 

[jimmytigs]

We can though. If he was contracted, then we would be in a much stronger position. If we're being pragmatic and not emotional, a player or two and Port's two picks is the best we could expect.

Nas could walk and ask for a 5 mil, 2 year deal and he'd be snapped up by WC, to be traded to Port next year. We can't pay that money unless we trade out several senior players (or abandon the TDK pursuit which doesn't seem likely).

We're up shit creek with a very flimsy paddle. We're going to have to make the best of a bad situation

with this in mind surely we need to make sure we finish below Port,the way it looks right now we will finish 11th and above them,we need to retain that power to snap him up in psd if other clubs pass on him

we are the biggest all time losers ever if we miss all the top mids,lose naz,take a stand,get nothing and port get him in the PSD,that would be a scenario i might not be able to recover from,but rejecting berry and a pick,or some other rubbish hand offered,sending him to psd and eagles or us getting him back,i could live with

I’m not saying it’s been done, but IF it had been done this week, you’d announce it on Sunday.

You’re already guaranteed media focus this week after the great comeback, which is good commercially and good for some hope into the off-season (= membership). So don’t over saturate…let it ride.

So you’d play the comeback 4th quarter from last week at Marvel on Sunday, commencing 12:22 as it is. The back to back Nas goals would be on screen as the crowd builds just before teams come out. And that’s when you’d announce it, to a roar from the fans, who would cheer him all game.

Create the moment.

Another week of positive media. A press conference, etc.

All during a period of winnable games to go into the off-season with some hope.

So I have no word that it’s done. But if it was, thats how you’d do it.

well i am not in the burning my membership if he leaves club,but there are some scenarios should he leave that i might not be able to recover from(reject crap offer,send him to psd,finish above port,others pass on him and port pick him up for nothing),so just gotta go with the stays option to avoid any chance of that,till its not an option

 

[Wildlife Analysis]

Done

I have sacrificed a goat. This usually always works.

As of yesterday it wasn’t done.

But there is a new offer that went in sometime earlier in the week or possibly last weekend.

His parents being over can only be a good thing. They definitely wouldn’t be coming to waive goodbye to the fans. They want him home.

Would be leaked by media hours earlier. Will be whenever and whatever he decides. Its not 1982

 

[jwikked]

Wonder if the club is paying for their flights. Or someone close to the club.

Would go along way to stemming homesickness when they’re coming to watch you play footy every weekend

So why would the Tiger's for example pass over Nas?

 

[L_W_P]

It would be great if we sign Tex Wanganeen as a ploy to retain Nas and he actually becomes a good player for us. I recall a game where he looked ok for Essendon.

I also hope our decision about giving him a chance is not entirely dependant on Nas - that seems like blackmail.

What if it's the other way around?

What if Naz has actually been bending the club over the whole time?

Naz: I want 8 years.

StKFC: Done.

N: First 2 years at $2mil each.

StKFC: Done.

N: Look after Windy & Keels.

StKFC: Well... Ok then. We will.

N: And... uhh... Tex gets a deal too.

StKFC: Who?

N: Tex Wanganeen. My cousin. Sign him up too. Couple of years at least.

StKFC: Fine... Can we announce the contract now?

N: Ehhhh not yet. Tony spoiled it on the fan forums. I don't want people knowing until his ITK status is gone!

StKFC: Fair enough. Anything else?

N: Yeah, actually... Stares at History of St Kilda Captains honour board
