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

[PeacefulWarrior]

Saints board now saying

Butters to hawks for pick 6 and Chol

and they think we are crazy for suggesting 2 firsts and whitlock for nas

Wasting your time reading that board is your first mistake

Glad you raised Jordan Dawson. He was a good first 22 player at the Swans at the time of drafting and was traded for a first round selection in the NAB AFL Draft (tied to the Melbourne Football Club) and so was traded for a late first round pick. Dawson at the time of trading is much better player than Aleer has been this year.

Aleer is a fringe player, and so will go for less.

Also Sydney bitterly complained that was unders but they took what they could get because he was out of contract like Nasiah

Stop it. They can say what they like on their board. We don't need to know about it.

In the business of drafting it is about weighing risk.

Drafting an 18 year old indigenous man with strong family links in his home state and links to another AFL club in his home state is a flashing red risk of leaving at any time in his career.

If you take the risk and draft him, you back yourself to create an environment where the pull to stay outweighs those other factors and that is an extremely high bar to achieve.

In all fairness outside of Port the Saints have maybe the best history of supporting indigenous players in the AFL or is that just my perception?

I hate this line of thinking tbh.

If we were operating under the same rule that landed Ugle-Hagen at the Bulldogs he'd already be our player, Pickett too.

Just don’t bother with the Saints board. Gonna lose brain cells otherwise with their “interesting” takes.

Is it just me? But, I am starting to get a bit sick of these St Kilda pricks coming here and posting the same crap comments post after post!

You have said your peace, now ping off and wait 'till Nas makes his decision.

 

[fpm84]

Was he tagged against Melbourne or Geelong? I can't recall

I think Nas will find himself getting a lot more attention now

We didn’t tag him - Mullin (who kept Butters to 10 possessions on Sunday) played on Jack Higgins in that game.

Saint's list is for VFL & FL.
If Port listed their SANFL & AFL players it would be over 60.

Yeah man, it’s full on annoying.

Ridiculous tbh

Butters is obviously a sensitive spot for your mob. How do you think we feel at the prospect of Nas leaving? The guy is not just a gun on the field, but will be worth his weight in gold for marketing.

Who knows, Nas may leave and with the players and/or picks we get for him could be the tipping point for creating a complete premiership team, or it will set us back years. Maybe Nas going to Port will tip you guys over into a premiership side, or the picks and/or players you lose will set you back.

Judd going to Carlton didn't get them a flag. Kennedy going to West Coast certainly got them a flag.

Footy gods are unknowable.

I understand how you feel. I hope he stays.

No, its not your perception. They have a great record in this regard.

 

[Ropable]

SainterinSydney got tricked by some random saints fella claiming to be an ITK telling everyone that Nas will announce to all the fans at their open training session that he has singed a new deal.

He attended the session and wasted his time

Nas just might nominate Port just so he doesn't need to close his curtains from SainterinSydney hiding in his trees

Not even trading in Atkins got us a flag

Neither do the Saints

 

[Portmagpies36]

Probably my favourite player from another club of all time.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He also said Butters would be at Port in 2026.

 

[Malibu#27]

i’m wondering if part of any deal done will involve our second rounder this year and a 2025 academy or fs club looking to trade out their first rounder for points.

 

[jdeezy]

Surprised he didn't say that good clubs hire from within and announce we were signing Jordan Hinkley on an 8 year playing deal instead
