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

[jackag24]

Theres a guy on the main board who has been claiming consistently for weeks, that NWM will stay at the Saints and it will be announced tomorrow. Of course he is a Saints man, but seems confident.

Plenty of people seem to think they are "ITK" and claim the opposites to each other, which means some (or all) of them are probably lying

I imagine you could get quite a rush by lying on the internet and having everyone interested in what you're saying

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I think it's more likely his management have come out with this statement because Adelaide are offering the most money and they need them to drive negotiations

I was thinking this too.

Probably like most others punters but unusual to put date to it, so will see. Anyways could this charade and speculation continue on all year. If both NWM and Bergman havent said anything in next 4 weeks , something is on.

I don't doubt Caro on this for a moment. It's not opinion, she has been told what's what and she won't run a story like that unless it's independently verified, probably by multiple sources. Ben's doing what he has to as a player manager.

 

[240volt]

Well that’s a shock

 

[rignanv]

Sadly, reported as false by his management team

Respectfully, what do you think his management group would say? The more public suitors, the better for the player's future earnings on his next contract.

She gave Ben Williams a nice plug or two in that segment tonight, too.

Imagine keeping Bergs and Butters and then getting NWM…

That has to happen.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

The question I would ask if how will Port afford all these deals in the cap?

Assuming Butters stays, he will be Port’s highest ever paid player; around the 1.7 to 2 mil player based on reports.

If Bergman stays, he will be presented with a deal over 1 mil you would think.

Rozee’s deal is already over 1 mil until 2032.

NWM is poised to be worth over 1.2 to 1.3 mil.

Also have to factor in JHF’s next contract deal and will also go for over 1 mil.

Pretty sure Port have the money and players being desisted or retired. Plus I believe some players at Port would actually take salary cuts to keep certain players there, more so ones who live there and are Port family.

I hope she's right and we get him. Would absolutely love him in our team even if it meant losing Bergman, who I rate very highly (I'd play nwm in the middle with rozee HBF).

But there's just as much chance that Caro is talking shit like most journos do.

 

[Expat power]

So Caro got this wrong? Oh well, good thing the media are not held accountable for anything.

She can just go back to stalking Warren Tredrea's twitter anyway.

I didn’t think Wilson was on Twitter?

 

[PowerBaz]

I didn’t think Wilson was on Twitter?

She’s called Stephen.

 

[PowerBaz]

So what’s his contract status? What do we have to give up?

 

[Bump Bailey]

I’m no Caro fan - I mean, who is - but it’s laughable that people think she would just fabricate something as (potentially) explosive as this then go on national television with it.

Given the sensitive nature of it to all parties - even Tex - she’d be opening herself up to a shitstorm of consequences, potentially litigious.

You don't go with a story like that unless you've got a sound source/s and even then, it still might have gone through Seven's legals to get ticked off before going to air.

Clearly she's been worded up, she's incredibly well-connected. And of course the management company will refute it, just playing their part in the charade.

It would be a waste to play him onball


You put him behind the ball and use his number 1 weapons , run and carry and kick.

With things like this there’s usually a kernel of truth without being as sensational as the headline.

 

[Brian McGee]

I have said before that I would rather keep Bergman that have to trade him for nasiah. Its unfortunately his perogative if he wants to leave though and we have to be pragmatic about it if he does. I haven’t posted this yet because I don’t like to pretend I have inside info, but I do know someone at the crows who said to me before this season even started that they were throwing everything at him but didn’t think they had a realistic chance because he would be at port.

 

[JimmyBC]

I really hope when certain people leave the club in the very near future Caro has to drop "Port understands" "The belief from Port" etc. etc. from her weekly performances.

 

[Papa G]

Caro is such a campaigner. If I was anybody attacked by her I'd continually bring up the fact her bitch husband was Dan Andrews Propaganda Minister. What a campaigner.

 

[TazD]

Let's remind people that Caro is tied to the hugely popular Dan Andrews

 

[Papa G]

Dan Andrews is as popular as Gonhorrhea.

 

[Grave Danger]

Dan Andrews is as popular as Gonhorrhea.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Id love to get Nasiah and keep Bergman but we just don't have the biscuits.
