Most people have given up on NWM, you don't seem to have, should we read anything into this?

Yes, I really want him

I know nothing, I’m just holding out hope he makes a football decision that he wants to play regular finals and not go through a rebuild

 

[jo172]

I don’t know, being able to join Lukosious and Rozee in the BFF club where standards are low, you get paid a fortune to hang out with your friends and you get an extra month of holidays a year might have some appeal

 

[FR0GGY]

Heard last night it was Ross Lyon who leaked the NWM won’t play with Tex comments to Caro.

If it’s true, NWM can’t be happy with him.

If that’s true it means he’s worried about us and not port.

The results this weekend will give him something to think about if he genuinely hasn't made up his mind yet. We smashed the power and now Saints getting a touch up from the Dees.

You spoke too soon!

You spoke too soon!

We need to do whatever it takes, this kid is incredible

 

[Crows I Am]

Wow just saw the result... and Nas kicked the winner after the siren! Huge comeback from the Saints.

 

[dylan123]

That was huge to watch, dude is a star.

 

[Velvet George]

Kicked last 2 and took a screamer to level the scores.

 

[_SirStealthy01]

GIVE NAS WHAT HE WANTS

 

[ams4crows]

It will be an absolute joke if NWM wastes his career at a mediocre club like StKilda and or Port.

He is the closest player to being Andrew McLeod

, if he came to us we would look unreal, we'd be setting up for a dynasty

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Don’t care what it takes, we have to find a way to get him here.

 

[latinoheat]

Did hunter Clarke get around NWM?

 

[crowsarethebest]

Wow, what a performance. I remember during the draft year, it was either Rachele or NWM and people were pissed we'd be reaching for NWM. Now, Rach is a gun and i love him but i think NWM is a different level at the moment. Is in top 20 players in the league now.

Top 20? Top 4-5 now

We already have the mcleod clone... but it won't hurt to have another

Close to top 1

Rankine hasn’t reached Macca’s level yet. Have seen the promise here and there, but there’s more to do.

 

[dogs105]

So, any speculation, or rumours, to the effect of NWM having a second round pick clause in his secret email contract?


I'd even take a Lie.

Yes, it's true

 

[Kain26Toad]

Crows supporting workmate asked me during today's game if Nas badges were half price yet as he wants one. Cheeky.

Wow what a win congrats

 

[fossilllCrow]

Good bants that, regardless soak in tonight’s win one of the best.

What’s the email clause about?

 

[jo172]

That was what if 2001 McLeod and 1997 Jarman had their best qualities in one player stuff.

Stupendous

Stupendous

We were into NWM last year. These things normally get sorted 18 months out, be surprised if we aren't a shot.
