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

[Windy Cindy]

My gut feel is he'll stay with St Kilda. If not Gav would surely be in his ear, seeing the club he loves hurting.

If it ain’t us I hope it’s the saints

OMG Well known crow lover Theo D regurgitates work experience boy's tweet and out come the doomscrollers. You gotta laugh.

Theo ****headopolous would be the last to know

Without any ties to PA, the crows are the obvious choice on form and on the probability of winning a flag in future.

Scold me if you want, but it’s true. Call it Hinkley’s parting gift.

WM needs to like PA that much that he’s willing to forgo the reality that on balance the crows are closer than PA to success.

WM would be walking into the unknown at PA with a new coach. Will he be part of a mini rebuild or does he want to walk into a club that’s already in contention? WM has been part of a rebuild already, is he willing to be part of one again?

Fortunes can change quickly, sure. Carr needs to get in front of WM and convince him to come.

I wouldn’t be relying on blind loyalty to a club that’s nothing what it was when WM grew up following it.

So by that logic, Port was the clear choice for the last 7 years since they consistently finished higher than the Crows. And now, suddenly, because the Crows finish higher this season, that makes them the “obvious” option in his mind?

Are we really suggesting he hasn’t thought about this until now, or that he’s just forgotten the past 7 years completely? It’s far more likely he was already leaning in a certain direction before this season even began.

Posts like this are dripping with recency bias, and it’s honestly frustrating. Just look at the big-name players who’ve returned to SA recently:

• Dawson
• Rankine
• Lukosius

Do you think any of them made their decisions based on who had the better season that year? I can guarantee you they didn’t.

What you're saying could have totally applied to Jordan Dawson in late 2021. Of course, he picked the Crows despite genuine interest from Port.

There are lots of factors that go into these decisions, many which the public are simply not aware of.

Being in Perth I’m away from it now but it looks like everyone in the media in SA is a crows lover?

Crows PR machine trying to sell the idea to NAS.

 

[SainterinSydney]

I think if he decides to leave he will just say SA rather than pick a club. But there will be a preference.

Still think we are favs based on Joey Montagna's messages to fans and what he said on Triple M just before Fri night's game.

 

[Macca19]

crows have always been balls deep in this. Its no surprise they have allegedly become front runners

 

[Portmagpies36]

We shall see, Nas picking Crows over us would be indicative of our reputation around the AFL.

I assume for opposition players from the outside looking in, seeing our players basically quit on the season because Ken is leaving would be an incredibly incredibly poor look.

Most players joining new clubs do it because they ultimately want to win.

100%, there is no way I would join our playing group their attitude is absolutely disgraceful.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

“Nas, one of the best things about coming to Port is you have the freedom to just cruise through the entire season while getting paid millions in the process. Unlike other more successful clubs, there are no real standards here mate. Hell, you can dine out on Krispy Kreme’s every night, be 10 kg overweight, & we’ll still give you a game. Why put any added pressure on yourself, when you can kick back & enjoy Europes best destinations in September, while the other losers fight over a meaningless Cup. Don’t be a fool Nas, now is the time to make the community proud & join a club renowned for its stability”.

Ken, Koch, & Rozee’s pitch to Nas.

If they're not, they still kow-tow to them. You never see a Port person in the media ever put the boots to them like they do to us.

Caro rarely gets things wrong and she did say NWM didn’t want to go there - perhaps things have changed.

It would surprise me if he went there as they don’t have a great record on indigenous issues from Tex Walker incident to their fallout with McLeod.

Kane went pretty hard on Tex and the camp.

Caro wouldnt know shes CDs mouthpiece.

 

[ahneadearut]

Jon Ralph is running with the same story. Hope it's all BS

 

[Lefti93]

If it's even remotely true, and NWM really ends up picking the crows, **** him. You know who can get ****ed even more, David. Eat a shit sandwich for everything.

 

[Visenfest]

Well that’s settled then

 

[QPower]

Caro wouldnt know shes CDs mouthpiece.

She has very deep connections throughout the industry, has broken many big stories and she did say NWM had been telling people at the Saints he wouldn’t got to the Crows.

C4's comment 2 weeks ago is now our hope lol

But are they front runners? Dickhead Doppolus is a well known crom lover and to be honest he would not know what NWM is doing.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

I’m as frustrated as anyone with us giving up first round draft picks, but then you watch Jones and Sinn going around, and you realise we’ve wasted a few of them too.

How many times does it need to be repeated? We didn't spend a first round pick in Lachie Jones. He was an NGA bid match. And anyone that thinks we wasted our 2020 first round pick is a ****ing moron because we traded it into 2019 to select Mitch Georgiades.

I won’t say publicly around the background of this story, but you can completely dis-regard her report on this occasion.
