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

[longdonkey]

Well it was all very well played by Williams. I'd say Nas has always been prepared to stay there and Williams has got him an extra 1 million per year from St Kilda's first offer. Good for them.

Hope your other players do the same.

 

[chachi11]

12 years at 2.5 per season!? That couldn't be true.

It's Tom Morris, so it's probably bullshit

 

[gbear]

Butters will be rubbing his hands together for that $2.5m

He should be the highest paid player in the AFL for the contract we put in front of him.
Butters will thrive under Carr.

 

[Southeastsainter]

Think we have 2 years to be contending or we will back here again in 2027 lol.

Do you think Morris is correct about the deal he turned down? 2.5 mill per year for 12 years. I’m not sure I believe it, nobody would’ve begrudged him for taking that I don’t think.

 

[Mr Clunk]

They still have Lyon as coach so nah

Good luck with Kenny Jnr

 

[Papa G]

So its a 2 year contract for $2 million a year?

Is any other player getting paid $2 million a year?

 

[chachi11]

Good luck with Kenny Jnr

Sick burn bro

 

[Pablo Escobar]

No biggie, we have had plenty of good players come here, just can’t be utilised due to poor coaching, gameplan and no winning culture. Let’s fix those first.

 

[Willsy10]

Nas staying with the saints might've saved us from ourselves if the 2.5mill a year for 12 year deal is true.

He is an elite player but a $30million dollar is pretty reckless shit, and could bite you on the arse massively.

So its a 2 year contract for $2 million a year?

Nope

 

[jackag24]

2.5 million for a guy that got moved out of the midfield against Essendon and he wasn't even being tagged..

Extremely disgusting offer, and would probably destroy our club paying someone that much

 

[Papa G]

Nope

That's a lot of coin for a 1 year wonder back pocket.

 

[PAFC66]

That's a lot of coin for a 1 year wonder back pocket.

Well we thought he was worth more. Crazy really. He's had one amazing year. Big gamble.

 

[Rigs]

Well done Nas
Right decision for this time of your career

Hopefully ends his career with us though

 

[tribey]

Oh ahhh, ummm, he’s an overrated spud anyway I’m glad he didn’t choose us!!!

I'm not devestated by this. Would have been nice to nab him, but it's abig unknown with Carr coming in as an untried head coach. You have to have your game breeakers but is NWM winning St kilda a Premiership? We've had Butters, Rozee and JHF as phenomenal individual talents and not been able to get us over the line. We need to uplift our average. Our top end has stagnated over the last 2 months and some of our second tier talent have gone backwards. Ken was never able to solve our forward issues, so for me, that's Carr's biggest challenge. Sinking so much captial into a single player when we have no idea what the effect of a new coach will be on the group is a gameble we don't nessesarily need to make at this time. Had we had Carr coaching this season we'd at least have some idea what kind of hit, poitive or negative we would be getting and could make a better assessment of where our list is actually at.

 

[ctpower]

I honestly thought we had him:

 

[jdeezy]

Big loss. Dropped the ball on this, but at least we had a nice stable year with Donuts at the helm.

Does this bring him to free agency?

 

[Sewer de Lance]

We’ll come knocking again in two years, hopefully Carr will have the Club in a better position by then. It’s great news for the Saints, but two years tells me he’s keeping an open mind & hasn’t completely closed the door on a future move back home.

 

[chiwigi]

I'm ok with this, we were always going to pay overs, I wasn't ok with that for position not of great need.

I'd much rather use the resources on backs and forwards.

If he is ready to move in 2 years time, we do it then as we will know our midfield situation better by then.

 

[QPower]

Really admire him giving the Saints another two years.

Shows he is a good lad.

 

[rainwizard39]

Well at the very least thank **** Crows didn’t get him.

 

[Doctor Feel]

The funniest thing in all this, who was the master troll who got all the media outlets onboard in the last 24h that he was crows bound only for it to emphatically fall over less than a day later?

Lol someone was telling intentional porkies.

 

[Sab22]

Unlucky but I have a feeling he is Port bound at some point in the future.

And im here to pick up SaintsSeptember!! he’s late for the party tonight

Chewy did say that it was coming out of West Lakes and was unreliable info.
