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

[Visenfest]

The season isn’t finished yet, so we’re not going to hear NAS ask to be traded yet. The only thing that would be confirmed during the season is if he re-signs with the Saints.

According to Nathan Buckley on SEN:

"Harley Reid still struggles to find time and space from the inside, because I think he goes into a contest already deciding how he's going to come out of it and he's been pinged in tackles quite consistently because I think he's quite arrogant around the way that he approaches the ball and the way he's going to exit it.
But there's no guarantee that he's going to turn into a Dusty or a Swan, so that would cap what I would value him at right now.

Line him up against Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - it's $2 million for Harley Reid for two years and it's $1.4m for Wanganeen-Milera for two years. That’s what the supposition is.

If I've got them lined up on the wall, I'm taking Wanganeen-Milera 10 times out of 10 in front of Harley Reid."

Bucks on the money once again.

Didn’t some Saints poster come on this forum the other day saying their most trusted “In the know guy” predicted Nas would re-sign with them this week?

He’s almost as delusional as our boards prediction of winning 3 Premierships in 5 years.

Sadly, we have a lot in common with St Kilda these days.

"Tony" their ITK poster is much more John Edwards style vague than that.

He didn't specify when.

Huh? He’s a star. We will have to trade some value for him. It’s as simple as that. I swear we have some of the biggest bedwetters on this forum. He is unreal, he will be our 2nd best, if not best player next year. Who gives two shits if we give up a young unproven KPF along with some good picks.
How many games of his have you actually watched?

Comments on here like, “he’s flakey”, “he’s just a HBF’er” are just unreal. He is 22 and taking the comp by storm. You do not get an opportunity like this often, if ever. We have got it twice with JHF and now NWM. Also getting him most certainly helps keep Butters, that is almost the most important factor in this whole scenario.

If we keep trading out KPF's we will continue to have the same forward issues we've had for the last 10+ years. Our inefficiency going forward has plagued us. We haven't been able to put good scores on the board with Rozee, Butters and JHF firing in the middle, giving up potential forwards in an effort to further power a midfield that isn't able to convert isn't the greatest strategy.

Yeah we know Nathan but sit on it until he’s here.

Not a comparison we want people talking about.

Yes that is correct.

There are probably 3 posters on the Saints Board on Nas that I believe have good current knowledge on Nas. Tony74 has just stated that "Nas and Ro are going nowhere" Tony74's posts tend to be brief.

The other two have indicated (from different sources, with the second being from players they know) that Nas is done in terms of him agreeing to remain at St Kilda. There is no accurate source on when the deal will be announced, and what the deal is exactly.

Given that there are three from different sources, I would say that Nas will be a Saint in 2026.

Hope ur right, but a bigfooty poster saying hes "good mates" with saints players doesn't give me all that much confidence lmao

You are being stooged by some fake attention seekers on your own board lol

So all these people and players know yet no one in the media knows anything except contracts that have been tabled by Saints, Crows and Port? So apparently players from Saints know about Nas signing but his closest friend and in part brother, Jase Burgoyne knows nothing and seemed extremely mature and honest with how he presented himself in a presser not long ago, also knows nothing because even he knows Nas is undecided and keeps it to himself. And these posters on Saints that you are referring to, specifically two of the 3, have made many claims and alleged facts that are not facts and have not come to fruition. Tony on the other hand, I don't know, but comes across as someone who speaks little and doesn't really reply much on what he says and appears to be nothing more than someone who watches them every week, trainings, events, etc and talks to people around there which means absolutely nothing. In my opinion.

Sorry, but I don't believe majority of that or the claims lately.

 

[Rash]

Yeah the media would be all over it more so than this Tony fella.

 

[SonOfKek]

Surely an in form JHF, NWM, Butters, Bergman, Wines midfield rotation would be up there as one of the greatest of all time.

Even the famous Geelong and West Coast midfields didn't have that depth of quality.

 

[SonOfKek]

Hope ur right, but a bigfooty poster saying hes "good mates" with saints players doesn't give me all that much confidence lmao

Unless it came from your most iconic fan; Coops.

Only a recent joiner of Bigfooty as life is being destroyed by the stress of nas but seems to be a lot of salty people on the saints board who can't cop opinions alterior to their own. Tough read rn lol

 

[FishingRick04]

Yeah we could have peak Brisbane 2001 to 2003 and im not convinced we'd use them.well

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

You're talking about Scoops, right?

 

[#Port Patriot#]

You're talking about Scoops, right?

Scoops is the most clueless twat I've come across regarding footy. That, and biased as heck with an agenda against Port.

I have a feeling you're talking about Sam McClure. Different Scoops.

No, I'm talking about the actual numpty who calls himself Scoops and is a saints supporter and talks garbage, a lot.

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

Absolutely insane that he was the first to break the Ross return to Saints

Was told that the whole Burgoyne clan is throwing out all stops to encourage Nas to come to Port.

No guarantee that it will happen, but at least we are doing our level best to make it so.
Whether that works or not remains to be seen!

My guess is he'll stay there - but hoping I'm incorrect on my baseless and totally uninformed opinion.

 

[Willsy10]

Yeah I just don’t buy that any supposed in the know poster on big footy would know more than the media.

C4 has had some intel in the past that has proven to be accurate but he has sat on the fence with this one.

But you’ve got a couple saints fans saying they categorically know he is staying, but no one in the media has caught a whiff of that? I just don’t think it’s accurate.

They may end up being right but they’ve got a 50% chance of being right, and they can then claim that their guess was inside knowledge.

Not sure why some posters get off on that shit.

 

[QPower]

Lots of games get played at this time of year re player movement so hard to know the truth.

Often managers leak staying rumours when a player going or tell the player to say they’re staying to relieve pressure on their client.

Remember this last year? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08...port-adelaide-despite-trade-rumours/104290300

We won’t know until something concrete happens.
