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

[b0ydman Jr]

mods to lock this thread?

 

[Us against the rest]

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 $$

Oh well leaving Vic is always hard for these young blokes.

Now we can focus on Butters.

Does this mean SainterinSydney can't come around and play anymore?

Amusing seeing the character of some of the saints people on bigfooty. No wonder their club has been irrelevant for so many years and needs all the help it can get.

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.

Pretty much. Probably what a lot of the hold up was by getting saints to up the offer for only a 2 year period. Seems he doesn't want any longer than 2 years but on the right coin and saints didn't want to give the $$ for only 2 years.

So getting 2 million or if it's more than that per year for only 2 years is well orchestrated by his manager. He deserves that coin if he's staying there. Still feel he doesn't want to be there 100% but he'll give his all regardless so props to him. Can see him. returning in 2 years after a good pay day and Port is in a better situation especially with the trade side of things. Still cannot see Saints getting anywhere even with Nas staying on. They'll have to bribe and pay overs for players to help that club.

Lock the thread and banish it to hell.

 

[jac147]

No big loss.

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

That attempt for goal in his last game was pretty funny!
Yes, I agree a bullet dodged. Basically it was never going to happen after Bergman renewed his contract
Edit. Shut his thread down

 

[El_Scorcho]

Good for NWM and St Kilda. This is hilarious in the light of former Bay 13 troll Theo Doropoulos's "scoop" from last night.

We'll no doubt try again in 2 years with more trade capital available to us.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Biggest benefit of this - Chris Davies looking like a arrogant turdburglar yet again.

 

[backtozero]

He played the Pickett playbook play for play.

I have no inside contacts, but you all need to listen to me.

 

[Willsy10]

Nice one Will Faulkner.

 

[PAFC66]

Lock the thread and banish it to hell.

Unlock it in July next year. Only a 2 year deal. He won't escape the talk for long

That's hugely disrespectful to the Wizard Cup win at Waverley.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Good to see there is still some loyalty in the sport. If it was success he was after he’d have left.

Hopefully we can retain Butters.

 

[backtozero]

Saints will absolutely rocket up the ladder next year, I'm sure.

NAS just Cripped and Fyfed his career.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Also what a waste of time and mental energy this thread was lol

 

[snozulu]

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

You married too mate?

Superstar Saint Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera makes contract call

Superstar Saint Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera makes contract call

The Saints midfielder has been the subject of huge interest from rival SA clubs

[HorneyFrancis]

Absolutely ridiculous offer

 

[Greasyrhys]

At least we wont have to part with Bergman, Butters or our 1st pick next year

 

[longdonkey]

That's disappointing but the positive is we will be able to address our depth earlier and top up that list with our NGA/Father/son picks.

 

[snozulu]

Now we have to focus on who we can get from Central's

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Good on him for being loyal.

I would've loved him at the club but he's happy at the Saints.

What it does mean is that our offseason is a bit more spicier because we will have more options with the cash we would've splashed for just Nasiah.

and I would agree.

Felt like we were going to get railroaded into overpaying. It's clear at the moment that all of St Kilda's ball movement goes through Nas so his stats are going to look incredible. We're the same in some respects with regards to Butters and Rozee. We wouldn't be getting the St Kilda version of Nas as we have more talent in our midfield, we'd have gotten a 20-25 touch and 20 goal a year mid, which isn't worth 3 first rounders.

 

[Jojay]

A bit of a sigh of relief tbh. We would've had to drop our dacks no doubt and probably lost Whitlock in the process.

 

[The Terrible Thinker]

It was never going to happen, not in this trade period anyway. Crows were sniffing around but I guess the Rankine issue just solidified his decision. At least the tingles dont get him either.
