Yea but our ITK is Warren Tredrea and he’s cooler than your ITK.

Our ITK who has been take-it-to-the-bank solid over the years gave us an update yesterday and said he isn't leaving. He works inside the club.

I guess one of the ITKs is going to be wrong.
Your ITK sounds like they are coping hard and is just delusional as heck. Probably the same one saying he will sign on Tuesday.. every Tuesday 🤦 Nas is gone. Saints aren't the right club or fit for him and don't deserve him.
 
So St Kilda Port and Essendon player managers are the most difficult to deal with according to Herald Sun.

But Port fans think they are going to give us some magic beans for Nas - because they were stupid enough to trade Houston for unders 🙄
 
From an outsider looking In we seem like we are one of the most accommodating clubs.

Once a player decides they either want to leave or come to us we generally get deals done, and one of the only ones I can think of that haven’t got done was Esava but that was because Geelong wanted more than we had to give and we eventually did a deal a year later.

And we’ve been fairly generous in what we’ve offered in trades.

There is definitely a bit of that sentiment floating around, but at the same time, blokes like your phantom mod do you no favours by setting expectations for a draft pick/player haul in exchange for NWM well above the reality of any trade that will materialise.

Not really sure how anyone can confidently say what price we will set for Nasiah.

Facts are he doesn’t get to SA unless we get satisfied via a trade. Yes he is OOC but he wouldn’t get past Westcoast/Richmond/north let alone us in the draft.

Anything else in this scenario are fantasy. Majority of stkilda supporters would applaud the club standing firm then bending over to facilitate a player leaving us and getting to where they want to go on the cheap.

The media reports including from SA journos are saying 3 GOOD FRPs.

Unless players are included it’s hard to see how that materialises.

I'm always a little pessimist when it comes to trade rumours, with all the he said she said BS. But there's just 6 weeks left in the reg season!


Don't you think NWM would have put pen to paper by now if he were staying at the Saints?

Besides he's besties with SB & JHF.
There are new coaches coming in and the lure of playing in his home state around family & friends in front of a packed house at AO instead of your average crowd of 10k to 15k at Marvel.
If we were to put a substantial $ offer on the table for NWM surely those extra work/life balance factors get the deal over the line :)

History, which is typically the best reference for predicting the future, suggests you will be wrong.

why even bring up the draft??

u and people on the general NWM thread and saints board continuously talk about the PSD, its never ever going to happen, if a player wants to leave his wish will be granted (especially a OOC)

He is also besties with Owens and Windhager - who he lives with.

Wouldn’t be putting any weight on his friendships as reasons to make a decision.

We can match and better your $$$ offer. So again, not a point to claim he is going to port.

I have no doubt if he asks to go home and nominates Port a deal would get done - as long as you meet SOS’s trade demands.

Either of you show us an example of sos getting bent over in a deal and I’ll accept we won’t get what we set out for.

The point is that port fans tell us that your future picks are enough to get a deal done. They won’t be. They are speculative at best as to there value and every person who watches footy would think port rises if they acquire Nas.

We then get told they won’t part with equivalent talents.

And there you have the point of any saints fans argument including Phantoms posts

I honestly have no idea where he will be next year (I probably had Sainters as decent favourites a couple weeks ago, but every day that passes pushes that dial more towards Port's side of the equation), but getting to play with your mates would absolutely be a pull for any young bloke in their early 20s.

Is it the same Saints ITK that said he'd sign the extension 'next Tuesday' three months ago?

I believe he remains for 2 years.

But the point I’m making is that he lives and plays with 2 of his best mates already 😂

It isn’t new for him.

It comes down to family and likely the knowledge that a deal is just going to be very hard to do between clubs.

SOS is not Mark Williams and this is not 2003. Saint Kilda will damage whatever brand they have if they go scorched earth on NWM. This will ultimately be where Saint Kilda fold, and take what could well be unders, but it will keep the reputation of the club in tact so as to not scare the industry including players and their player managers.
