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

[edgie]

NWM is not staying at St Kilda and that was probably evident before the meeting, but it's a certainty now.

But they couldn't even be bothered to ring in Eric Bana or Molly Meldrum???

"I'm told the dinner did NOT resonate with Nas" geez...

Oh my god.

Really who did they think they were selling to ?

Some people become completely detached from reality once they’ve got a few dollars behind them.

The thought processes there have to be questioned ie Exactly why are these rich white fellas thinking Nas and family are going to be impressed by this?

He would rather go to jase/jhf's house and eat a dominos pizza followed by some yo-chi

Thanks aints

Maybe not Dominos

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Usually after such a historic V/AFL win a club would have built on that momentum and if he was staying they'd announce his re-signing by now..

Sorry Sainters.

Without going into details, I've heard the money on offer from Port will make most people's eyes pop out of their head irrespective of his talent.

So we can add financial irresponsibility to the long list of the current ineptness of the PAFC management then?

Why not a succulent Chinese meal?

There's nothing irresponsible about saving your cap for a player like Nas. Quite the opposite in fact

That Crow stuck in the corridor gif would be perfect for the draft and trading thread right now.

It feels like 2/3 of the posters are Crows fans lol.

You'd think they wouldn't feel the need to be looking over their shoulder so hard right now, but here we are.

 

[gbear]

Just imagine how awkward he would’ve been at that dinner lol

So classy by the Saints!

Banner probably would of been the absolute best option for him seeing as he's a saints fanatic. In sure he'd do it and more casual and down to earth not the rich shit.

 

[StueyDaDew]

CAN YOUSE LOT PLEASE CALM DOWN, HE STILL YET TO BE UNDERSIGNED!

Calm the farm, I was just being sarcastic. Getting NWM would be the highlight of our 2025 season.

 

[Portology]

Where will he be in 2026? If he's reading this thread he'll be out of action getting a finger injury fixed from hitting the refresh button so many times

 

[gbear]

Lol I cant imagine anything worse than a dinner at some boring rich flogs house with 10 other boring rich flogs.

Don't knock it til you try it!

My afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace back in 2012 was pretty spectacular!

 

[all seeing eye]

Money has never bothered me the draft cost is the concern.

Likely Molly’s old estates.

Why? Any draft pick ever is speculative. Nas is proving right now that he will be a top 5 player in the comp. He is the EXACT type of player you blow draft picks trading for because at best you’d hope ‘one’ of those first rounders is half as good as this kid.

 

[Rash]

he wont request a trade unless Ben Williams is confident the team he wants to join can do the trade.

 

[PJ Power]

Serious questions. Would acquiring NWM ultimately cost us Butters if we can’t meet his salary demands or match RFA offers next year? Would it help keep Butters if our footy improves with an extra gun?

Does a stockpile of Butters, JHF, NWM, Rozee, Bergman and Georgiades compromise the rest of our list build to the detriment of team success, or can that all be fixed with better culture and coaching?

How many are you willing to blow. Not saying dont go hard, but we have a history of paying overs.

The 2 million dollar question!

Its hilarious seing aints board have this hatred for Ben Williams, they will be in shambles should he leave.

I heard Pridham had a welcome-to-country performance and offered Nasiah's parents a tutorial on how to use Seek. Ross made boob grab motions and yelled "awoooga" whenever Pridhams 19 year old waitress appeared.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Not relevant but it made me think of this now meme when the Clippers tried to recruit Durant

I’m no list management expert but to my mind surely most clubs in the league would cut their hand off for that core group, surely the recruitment of NWM would provide encouragement for Zak to stay and rather than compromising our list build, you can build around that core group? Like I said, no expert but that’s just my two cents
