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

[PortAdelFC1997]

Is Butters to be a restricted FA, if so then worst case scenario if he leaves next year we should get a really good trade.

Butters is a RFA next season.

Did we try to trade up to get NWM in the 2021 draft. Ultimately we traded up and got Sinn at pick 12 and NWM went the pick before that and I’m wondering if our plans to trade up included him as well as Sinn?

I'd stake my life that we 100% wanted NWM and had to take Sinn so they spun it into a story about how we really wanted sinn instead

They were probably banking on St Kilda going with the Victorian kid

I was thinking that but did we only trade with west coast after saints had already picked NWM.

we were probably in talks with west coast to trade up well before the draft but were just as happy to pull the trigger with Sinn as we would’ve been if NWM was still on the board.

flipping love Caro, always have.

Like many others in the media, I'd like her more if she didn't peddle Kenny-protection nonsense to keep her leaks from Port coming through.

 

[Willsy10]

So what do we make of the reports coming out now that NWM called Tex to refute the claims made by Caro?

Everyone is trying to save face as per normal. These aren’t opinions that were meant to be shared publicly.

Probably that Caro and Davies and co. are complete fu ckwits?

 

[Willsy10]

So basically this is saying that it's still a race between Port and Saints but the Tex stuff wasn't a factor in why he has ruled out the crows?

 

[bomberclifford]

Interesting wording.

 

[theouthouse]

This tex stuff is probably coming from someone in the crows via a burner account, as it seems they've been rejected by NWM.

Hell hath no fury like the camrys scorned.

Nasty, nasty club that one.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Interesting wording.

Yes it is. Seems to be some manoeuvrability there.

 

[Rising Power]

"It wasn't a factor, I already knew you were a knob"

 

[backtozero]

Caro is a turd. Don't understand how anyone can like her after taking shots at our supporters years back.

 

[PowerBaz]

Yes it is. Seems to be some manoeuvrability there.

Gee, imagine he ends up over yonder. Decent team just got much better.

 

[Willsy10]

Getting he will announce a contract extension with the Saints soon vibes.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I've read that as Adelaide are out of the race but it isn't really about you Tex.

 

[Chrizzt]

Quietly confident.

 

[MrPower]

Interesting wording.

Yes, this would seem to indicate the past

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera called Taylor Walker on Tuesday night to say Walker's past indiscretion was not a factor in his decision-making.
ie decision made. Yet, instead of confirming this, he gives us

Adelaide has been pushing hard for Wanganeen-Milera all year and have had their 8+ year offer on the table since February.
which might suggest that they're still in it. Probably just sloppy journalism

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I'm not joining you for other reasons.

 

[MrMeaner]

It may be possible to draw inferences from the length of time the contract has been on the table.

Hmm, how did the media find out about a private phone call between two players? Absolutely not stage-managed PR here at all.
