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

[Enviable Tradition]

I reckon it’s between saints and us

Even the Saints fans on the D and T board agree with this, despite the usual Port haters trying to talk up the Crows chances.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

My gut says its Port 70%, Sainters 25%, Cows 5%.

But - Adelaide in many ways can shape this trade. If they know its unlikely to happen they can offer overs and force the other clubs to match, making sure who ever gets him for 2026 pays the absolute maximum.

Was Nasiah a Port fan growing up?

And obviously the huge question, what did the Hornet whip up to seal the deal?

Did speak to his dad about 18 months ago.

Nasiah was convinced he was going to Port in the draft and loved the idea.

Think Port spent a fair amount of time on him in the lead up.

 

[philthy05]

Not having enough trade capital didnt stop Collingwood from fleecing us for a contracted player.

What’s good for the gander and all.

 

[JimmyBC]

Don't like dedicated threads to one player who is currently at an oppo club it's bad juju.

Was picture of him as kid with saints jumper on, so probably not.

The discussion on him was overwhelming the general list management thread thanks to media overload. At some point the chat needs its own thread. And the title is carefully worded.

I kind of prefer 2026 Goodbye (To St Kilda) New; Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera Discussion

So assume he picks crows, then at min , 2 first rds would be needed hence Saints may get somewhere around 15 to 18 in a compromised 2025 draft which blows into 2nd rd almost, with ngas ,academies f/s etc and then potentially a similiar high pick in 2026 draft, assuming Crows repeat there current form next year. Not overly appealing unless other sweeteners are offered.

Assume for us Bergman and next years first (likely to be around pick 3 to 8) are in play at a min.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

What if we throw Rozee forward? I wouldn't want both NWM and Rozee in our backline. But Rozee has shown the ability to play forward and be that marking type. His first two seasons where he played up forward was when he was at his best imo, showed all the skills he had.

Become Toby Greene 2.0 with speed and kicking penetration.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Numero Quatro overall from El Champion Date.

 

[carlfromport]

Him getting to the crows is getting legs.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Him getting to the crows is getting legs.

Genuine flag chance if they land him

 

[Del80659]

he isn't going to the crows and we all know why

You raise a solid point. I think Rozee would be a great option up forward, & would offer far more than SPP, who I think is massively overrated.

 

[SC_Power]

Just explaining to NWM all the pros of being a PAFC player:

• huge coin
• doesn't have to lift any weights
• winning doesn't actually matter
• make community proud.

No “Tantrum” Ross Lyon
No ice baths

 

[Port 2004]

On whose sayso? If he is dining with JHF and Jase, it would seem more likely Port than the Crom.

NAS is an elite winger / halfback , which we could use and would cost us a lot.

But miles is a gun, the idea we should give up miles, who’s a high end player showing a big future as an onballer plus a 1st rounder is crazy.

Our fan base is so cucked. Saints fans over there talking about they expect butters / butters and miles and our fan base talking about how we should spread our cheeks.

We got rogered on the Houston trade, why as a fanbase should we expect to bend over both ways… when a player leaves (gotta fold players have all the power etc) then expect to fold when (if) a player wants to come to us? Doesn’t make sense. Like pick a lane, does the receiving or giving team get ****ed? It’s absurd to expect it both ways as a club, but we shouldn’t be surprised with the club serving the afl and not its fans.

The way I see it, miles is worth 70-80ish % of what nas is , and the more he plays onball this year and shows the form he has the more that gap is gonna close. The hell we should be adding a 1st rounder to miles in this scenario. I’ll be damned if an uncontracted nas is worth more than twice what Houston is. More yes, we got dudded, but exorbitantly more. No.

 

[Coobk001]

Tank, keep a bottom 4 PSD pick and force NWM into the PSD for free. Keep Bergman and Butters. Deal done, we're all happy.

TOO BLOODY RIGHT I'M FILTHY!!

Very happy to keep Bergs , but the longer it goes the less likely its looking. (his choice this time)

Keeping Bergman and landing Nas is clearly the best outcome, but its becoming pretty clear the chance of Bergman staying are slim and not improving the longer the year goes on.

Yeah at this stage I’m worried he’s gone.

At the very least they’re giving him midfield time and he’s showing his value there.

It’s disappointing cause he looks a very good fit next to our other mids and his versatility helps as well.

If we lose him we’ve probably got to look really hard at some onballers in the draft cause moraes and Lorenz are different types and mead is depth.

 

[rogerjames]

It's Saint Kilda, it shouldn't be to hard. Just tell we have a no1 ruckman Ivan Soldo, they will take the bait.

DIdnt they back out of that for 2025
