Kind of means nothing. But keep reaching like you clowns kept saying Ross was giving out signals in his presser not long ago with magical words and meanings

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.

Still hasn't reached his ceiling

 

[Anyonebutken]

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

Looks like the Kid’s got quite a bit of psoriasis on that knee. Either that or a severe scrape.

 

[Grave Danger]

He scored 87 Supercoach points in the 4th quarter, more than double his 3qt tally:

 

[Enviable Tradition]

How about half your team and a first rounder?

Done

So long as we get to pick which half.

 

[Jojay]

Kid’s got quite a bit of psoriasis on that knee.

Or just war wounds from having to play on that crap deck all the time?

I’ll trust you over anything I perceive in my head.

You’re probably expecting him to stand in a corner and ignore everyone.

He’s everybody’s friend and hero

Unsigned.

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.

 

[Windy Cindy]

If he is still undecided we need to go harder..

I’ll spew if we miss out on dollars or the unwillingness to trade a player (except for MG and JHF)

He will win a brownlow one day

 

[Jojay]

Lol his manager would be grinning like a cheshire cat right about now.

 

[FishingRick04]

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?

 

[all seeing eye]

2 mil + terriority now, you would think to prise him out.

 

[longdonkey]

Done

So long as we get to pick which half.

LOL best response ever

 

[Chachi]

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.
