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

[SainterinSydney]

If he doesnt sign after round 24, i think he is 99% gone

I think the consensus is if it's the end of our last game and still silence, it is likely he is Max Gawn.

ussaly when a player is going to sign there will be a slow build up.

the usual, reporters saying something, leading into the next, takes weeks.

but yeah, if nas signs i feel like its gonna be a straight up random report from twomey saying he has signed.

 

[longdonkey]

That is obscene if they get both.

They won't get either... they think that they can cherry pick the best players out of the "smaller" clubs because they are in a window.

 

[#Port Patriot#]

I would imagine Port would be asking about Eagles pick 1 if they are confident they'll get pick 2 as compensation for Oscar Allen

because Eagles would already have a decent draft hand either way for this year being picks 12, 19, 30, 48 and add pick 2 into that.

Port trade 2026 1st round and 2027 1st round for Eagles pick 1 and their 2027 2nd round pick to help Port in that draft year.

If Nasaih does in fact want to get to Port then offer pick 1 to Saints. That's it. Otherwise if they refuse take him with pick 1 in National Draft and modify contract afterwards to suit.

The Eagle aren't trading pick 1.

I can't see WC taking your speculative firsts in 2026 and 2027 (the Tassie draft) for pick 1 and their 2027 second.

wtf that’s worse than most of the saints trade suggestions.

Just shows every board has 10-40% of deranged posters. Most fit somewhere in the middle of reasonable with a bit of bias. And maybe 5% are purely objective and reasonable.

And 100% think they are in the 5%

 

[Donuts_]

Hang on - who is this?

 

[RossFC]

I get it, I'd be a pissed off nervous wreck too if I were them. We might understand their pain next year if Butters hasn't signed.

We’ve made a thread before he’s even nominated us. I’m sure a bunch of Port fans would swarm like a fly to shit if an oppo board went early and made a Butters thread.

Hell we made a Ratugolea thread after he nominated us and it took 2 years to get it done.

 

[davesnothere]

Do you really believe that its blind, oh to be young and naive

It would absolutely be blind.

If his manager is worth anything there’s no way known any club would know what they are up against.

If they did Id be sacking the manager.

If clubs know the minimum amount they need to beat it prevents clubs paying the maximum they will pay Nas.

 

[davesnothere]

Going to need 6 to 8 first rounders.

Reid’s out of contract?

West Coast are screwed. Hawks willing to pay 2 million a year over 12 and I reckon only they would?

West Coast submit to Reid or they take not much as a trade.

Reid walks there in the draft.

Not a club anywhere investing 24 million in a player they haven’t interviewed or given a medical.

 

[TeeKray]

I doubt money will be the deciding factor.

Loyalty - St Kilda
Family/friends - Port
Success - Crows

 

[Malibu#27]

Hang on - who is this?

and why is he discussing playing list matters….

 

[Boss351]

I can't help but be nervous with Ports position with club officials sprouting they are confident of landing his signature, we said the same last year about the possible GWS recruits and got left with egg on our faces

We better not be asleep at the wheel thinking family history and mates makes us the obvious choice, Nick's and Crow players have already been proactive in getting in the ears of players they want selling the dream.

Results have shown desire and smart recruiting that they are in serious contention and us another wasted year just expecting it all to happen masking over cracks

 

[chiwigi]

As the great Johan Cruyff once said: 'if you have second thoughts of playing for us, you are no longer needed'.

If he is playing the Crows off against us and is serious about it, walk on.

 

[bringbackbucky]

Port and St Kilda should just merge. We're about irrelevant as each other...

 

[SainterinSydney]

Port and St Kilda should just merge. We're about irrelevant as each other...

We would have a decent team!

 

[bringbackbucky]

We would have a decent team!

Would make Nas' decision a whole lot easier as well!

 

[manureid]

Port and St Kilda should just merge. We're about irrelevant as each other...

Yeh, do that and just call us Port Adelaide Power and base us at Alberton and play home games at the Adelaide Oval.... and just make the guernsey the ones we have now. Perfect merge really.

We had a mocked up alt-Power guernsey based on Brent Guerra

And how are those GWS recruits doing?

 

[manureid]

And how are those GWS recruits doing?

Was it Cumming at the Crows (doing well it seems) and Perryman at the Pies (also, not bad).

 

[davesnothere]

We would have a decent team!

Ken could coach

 

[FrankDrebin]

And how are those GWS recruits doing?

Both walk up starts in the 22 for the top 2 teams on the ladder. Meanwhile we're rolling out with the likes of Mead, McEntee and up to 6 weeks ago a full-time fridgey.
