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

[Windy Cindy]

Some of y'all crazy.

If Saints are happy to take Whitlock to get NWM here, sorry Jack, you got to go.

Sign me up for that one.. I’ll drive him over as well.

That’s ridiculous. You’d fly him over first class.

If St Kilda suggested to Port give us Butters, 2026 1st rounder, Joe Berry, Jack Whitlock for NWM, you'll be okay for that to happen? After all, Port are "giving up something" to get something.

I can’t see StKilda wanting anything to do with Berry.

It's quite simple if they are asking Tim Kelly

types of trade value you put forward what you have, wait until the last day and then they give way or risk a PSD. They will cave in.

Im.aware Todd has injury concerns but as a proven AFL player surely his value is equal to an unproven Whitlock?
I'd run the gauntlet and offer him up, if Ken heads home and Todd is together with Kens daughter he could move with them.

Finny, Lord, obviously have no real value.

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

I can barely muster up the will to watch us these days. I don't really care too much for top quality neutral games, let alone ones featuring the Saints.

So I think I might have seen NWM play 2 or 3 times all up, while he was probably alright I didn't really take much notice. What player would you compare him to over the last 10-20 years?

FWIW, Butters has one goal for the year

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned more - I know Butters isn't a strong goal scorer but he's been off this year.

Which of our players has been legitimately “on” this year?

Even King George has had the yips as a mark against his name this year.

2025 was destined to be a year of treading water ever since the succession plan BS was announced.

 

[PJ Power]

It’s why I don’t think he should be in AA conversation as unpopular as that will be for other Port fans.

I know what you mean but I'd argue Esava has had his best year.

This year has been hands down the most unenjoyable of the past decade. From round one it's been a stinker. Our fixture was vanilla, the amount of daytime games disappointing, the fact we went to Ballarat? Losing to Essendon and St Kilda? WTAF. Not having Butters at the beginning of the season, not having Marshall, losing a home showdown in the Prison Bars and following it up by getting belted by Geelong. I could go on but it's futile. To top it off the Crows are getting stronger each week and I'm clinging to the hope that NWM will make his way to Alberton.

FWIW I think we'll have a really good year next year with an easier fixture, less pressure and fingers and toes crossed less injuries.

Hypothetically, if he asks for a trade back to SA, it will likely be whichever of Port or Adelaide get us the best deal. If push comes to shove, he would go to the Crows if it meant a trade gets done.

So every supporter base has tried to convince themselves for decades, and so has literally never happened.

If he nominates Port they can offer you Dawson, Rankine and 10 first rounders. If he nominates the Crows we can offer you Butters, JHF and 10 first rounders. It won't make a lick of difference.

No, he goes to the club he chooses, considering his connection at Port. I think the choice might be clear regarding where he goes.

never happens, a player nominates a team, they only deal with that team.

Incorrect he will more likely nominate the club that he wants to go to.

 

[#Port Patriot#]

It’s why I don’t think he should be in AA conversation as unpopular as that will be for other Port fans.

Why? He'd be ranked top 5 players in the league still and he's the most tagged player in the league. Even daicos still struggles with a heavy tag. Butters is doing more stuff to get the goals just not getting them himself as he isn't always doing the roving in the forward half as much as he used to. He's definitely in AA conversations and should easily slot in there.

Why do you come on here to talk absolute garbage then go back to the Saints board crying like a little bitch and acting like one? Even to the point of making up ridiculous comments about port supporters on their own forum?

If push comes to shove he should go to Adelaide? Seriously? Look, I support Adelaide Crows when they play their games except against Port but you clearly have no F-ing idea. Port is literally where he has links and ties to. Pure and simple. He would be returning to SA but also playing for the club he has supported and has family ties to, history with, friends with.

I wish it was like that but Dan Houston had no interest in joining North Melbourne despite them having a better offer.

 

[Portwrld]

Port Patriot he says …

 

[#Port Patriot#]

Port Patriot he says …

So I'm not allowed to support the other SA club playing their games against other teams except port being from Adelaide? You probably were in your nappies when I was supporting port Adelaide I just don't get into the whole pencil swinging that comes about by both supporters with the garbage they sprout.

When a player nominates a club, the clubs work to get him to that club. Like when Port lost Impey, Wingard, Amon Houston etc etc etc.

That is just so far from the truth…
