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

[PAFC66]

dude you support st Kilda

Strange isn't it... Isn't this meme from a pride protest and stkilda wears pride jumpers every year?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Congratulations Tony

Well played

 

[PAFC66]

Hopefully Butters does the same. I'd rather keep him then get this guy anyway

 

[PowerLil]

One word. Whitlock

 

[PowerBaz]

So has seen where

He doesn't hit free agency in 2 years. Would be another trade situation.

Seems like he's seen enough of Port and happy to have a look at us go for the next two years, also same with the Saints. Good call really on his part - he's young.

Carr (and the board) has 2 years to get our trajectory and club direction upwards, otherwise he'll stay at the Saints i reckon.

 

[PAFC66]

Go get Zac Bailey

Who fits a need more than Nas

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Chewy or Addy could probably answer this one the best.

My understanding was that the player in question nominates a team and then the two clubs get together to broker a deal. I thought they were kinda separate entities.

With all the tattlings, it seems the deals are front and square which is not how I thought it worked.

 

[davesnothere]

I’d put Saint Kilda being the preferred option entirely on Hinckley and Koch.

Two years as a free agent works as well. We’re always taking a couple of steps back to get some games into the decent kids.

 

[bomberclifford]

Glad to see this result.
Saints get two years to win him over, we get two years to build a war chest and trade capital.
Do it all again in 2027.

 

[Windy Cindy]

I'm still blaming this management for missing out

we missed out on Pickett a few times and now NAS..

I hope it wasn't for $$

 

[Jonts]

Good on him
Lock the thread and open it in 2 years.

Also add a couple hundred K to butters contract and go hard for Ryan and Beau

 

[morell]

Well done Nas, my respect for him has just gone up

 

[crowpuncher69]

 

[Needs Gravy]

Have to respect loyalty oh and John Ralph wrong yet again.

 

[Gryllis]

Quite a surprising result this late in the season, but good on them. Much better than yesterday's 'at time of writing' scoop he was going to the crows.

The Saints' recent run of close wins building some positive culture, versus Port's compete, probably played a pretty big part.

Now we need to look more to the draft over the next few years. Absolutely cannot be trading out future firsts to ultimately end up with B and C graders.

I blame the club for letting Ken go.
He was a father figure

 

[Anyonebutken]

Good on nas on his loyalty wouldn't surprise if he signs on for another 2 after this then comes to us at free agency in 4 years. At least now we can concentrate on pilot and dougie. Crows are the big losers 'apparently' they were the preferred option if he left the saints. The crows are having a bad day

 

[Ljc_86]

No big loss.

I’d get 30 easy touches a week playing for the saints.

 

[Powerade 08]

Signing with the Saints for 2 years is a decent outcome - probably better than locking him into the biggest deal in the AFL, on the back of late season midfield games against (mostly) poor opposition. Wait and see how he goes.

 

[theouthouse]

Oh great. Now I have to sit through St Kilda games to see him play.

Well done to him though, he is playing unbelievable footy at the Saints and is obviously happy there football wise. It would have been foolish to not continue that at the same club given his age.

Here come all the saints fans trolling, but i don't think they'd too happy if the reverse was happening to them

 

[Holy Hunter Clark]

Can't wait to do with again in 2 years x

 

[68vette]

That is some serious coin for someone who has played under 100 games and has not won any major awards.

Good luck to him.

 

[Us against the rest]

Fair call by him. Now Carr can concentrate on developing a good team and structured game plan.

Whitlock hopefully now will be a Port boy for some to years to come.

 

[Doctor Feel]

We didnt have the capital anyway, if we didnt give away our first probably a different scenario. Chalk it up to the piss blasting admin again. Was off the table as soon as Bergman re-signed.

it'll probably be Bergman/Nas trade in two years anyway.

Sort of pleased we dont have to give up anything at the moment and give Josh a bit of time to work shit out.

No bridges burned, parked for two years, maybe even one.
