News NWM stays at Saints (Will Faulkner wrong about being crows bound)

Doubt it, mate. Likely would be a straight swap.

Butters would win the Brownlow playing in just about any Vic team.
Most probably more than one also.

 

[SainterinSydney]

There has been zero indication that this is on the cards. I’d say getting NWM increases our chances of keeping Butters long term if anything.

If he stays, where are you getting the first rounders from? Let's take off the rose coloured glasses--Port needs to find decent picks and/or players.

I doubt your side will want picks in the upcoming draft, so future picks are going to be seen as a much better prospect long term.
Them with player deals and swaps can easily put together a respectable package.
You have to look outside it only being a Port Saints thing possibly.

Trading our best player by far would be plan Z and not the only option.

And it’s just not how trading works. You’d more likely end up with all our draft picks over the next three years, before we contemplate trading butters.

My prediction: this will get to page 200 before it's made public.

Now you’re in trolling territory.

Sounding like Butters might go regardless of Nas. You'd want to maximise his value under contract. Anyways, let's see what happens first with Nas' decision.

Actually I have solid word that Zak will re commit to Port Adelaide and it will be announced after training Monday.

Butters is not going anywhere this offseason, but let’s just entertain it for a second. There is absolutely zero chance he would be going back to play for a completely irrelevant Melbourne club in the Saints lol. Whether you think a straight swap is fair or not, he won’t want to play for your team. He would be going to a team like the Dogs or the Hawks.

Be a different experience for him watching a past Grand final win in black and white.

SOS is an absolute campaigner. Trade week will be fun, that is all im saying if Nas and Butters are on the table.

You do realise he is uncontracted yea? You are going to get unders, whether you like it or not.

Butters isn't on the table

 

[QPower]

SOS is Dodoro’s love child.

If Nas requests a trade, SOS will be a campaigner until someone pulls rank.

You will be sadly disappointed as Butters isn't up for trade as he is contracted for 2026.

This puts you somewhere between levels 2 and 3 on the stages of grief ladder. Only 2 to go so chin up mate.

 

[backtozero]

If Butters wants to go back to Vic and Nas wants to go back to SA, it will be a very interesting trade period!

I'd be hugely surprised if Butters wants to go to your club, especially when a lot of your success hinges on retaining Nas.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Every Victorian club would give Butters a blank cheque if he wanted to sign there, and in that scenario St Kilda would be, at absolute best, 9th choice ahead of Norf.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Doubt it, mate. Likely would be a straight swap.

Your taking the piss

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Last time I checked, Butters' decision will be a football based one. Meaning he will factor in which team(s) will help him play his best footy and be in premiership contention.

Butters sure as hell ain't picking St Kilda based on that.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Is Butters a FA after his contract expires next year?

RFA and before you say anything else, Port has the cap space to match any offer and force a trade.
