I’d love to think so, I just can’t see it happening. Only if the trade details were worked out beforehand.

Where is the draft capital coming from? Especially if we’re compiling an NGA and F/S set of picks for Cochrane, Pilot, Rodan, Salopek, etc. We’ve traded first rounders for so long.

Where is the extraordinary cap space? We have maybe Finlayson, Boak, Burton finishing up this season. Question mark over how Marshall comes back. Ditto SPP. We’re throwing a big package at Butters as well. Who wants to leave?

With academy selections, teams can always go into a points deficit next season if they don't have the requisite points in that specific draft year. So there are plenty of ways the team can manipulate their draft position to get all of the NGA and F/S prospects.

Lots of teams always look to trade picks in the draft for points, or they can trade points value for higher picks. Port can take advantage of that process which happens on a yearly basis.

They have a ton of cap space moving forward. It's not an issue.

Port's list management have models of what their list could look like multiple years away, and have allocated the necessary resources to make that happen even in the event that all of the draft prospects are highly rated players, keep Butters, acquire NWM etc.
 
I'm sure he has made up his mind, I always thought the likely outcome is another contract at the saints giving them good service then coming home as a free agent.
But if he is staying at St kilda and it's just some hangling between his manager and the saints over $$$ you would think he would come out and at least say he is staying to ease the saints fans minds as they are stressed out understandably. Not sure how it's going to go

I’ll trust you over anything I perceive in my head.
 
Honestly, that presser with Ross after the game does not convince me one bit that Nasaih is staying or made his mind up. Ross and his body language and twitches (yes he naturally twitches but not this specific one) means they are trying hard to keep him but know its 50 50 or that he does want to head home to SA. But saints fans are circling $ signs on random posts as if to say that means he's signed 🤦🤦 Ross clearly doesn't know what Nas is doing yet and the Saints are still in the shadow trying hard to get him to stay.

Bye Nas.

Who'd play for a side that hoists the white flag against a side that plays to the final siren.

We've blown any chance to land him after last night's surrender.

You get what you deserve!
Didn't St Kilda raise the flag and he out it down?
 
Would trade Butters for him if push came to shove.

He’s the best player in the comp and doing things no one else in the comp gets close to apart from Daicos and Bont at their peak.

He’s gone past Butters and is only 22……22!
That’s ridiculous. There’s no world we willingly trade Zak.
 
Anyone who thought giving up Whitlock for NWM is a bad thing should honestly hand in their footy supporting resignations. You can’t come back from a shit take that bad.

Anyone who thought Bergman was on par with NWM at any point I can kind of reason with but still an incredibly poor take.

But anyone saying we should trade butters for him, uppercut yourself, butters was literally the only bloke who gave a shit for us last night, dominated despite being surrounded by amateurs. The fact we suck doesn’t mean butters still isn’t a top 3 player in the league, busted his arse last night.
