I will say this, if he nominates to leave then we will be the biggest losers in history from this ridiculous system where players nominate a club and force us to deal with them. On the open market we'd get a kings ransom for Nas but we have to take some crap picks or let him walk to the draft...

It feels like a line in the sand moment though. They need to get us at least two top ten picks surely? It's up to them to do it. Their future firsts are useless. Honestly I'd rather just lose him for nothing and actually stand for something than take the shit that is on offer. I know it...

He's a shoe-in to win the b and f so it would be weird not to put him on it. Don't know what Windy's doing there though.

Yep, we've been saying "we can't trade in elite talent we have to draft it", if Nas leaves then that's not even true.

We won't be fine. Plugger was in the twilight of his career, Hall was nowhere near the level of Nas. You work your arses off to land a guy like Nas and walks literally as soon as he goes elite. Of course the club will be fine but it will set us back a decade in memberships. Hopefully it's all...

Honestly if Nas leaves I might be done. Best player we've drafted in two decades, 22yo becomes completely elite mid who looks like he can play in any area of the ground and do anything and he's going to leave? Feel like we may as well give up if this is the case.

That's good for us.

Not being sold on anything, it was a reflection on his comments. I still think he'll sign, I understand others think he won't. Whatever happens we'll all be happy or sad, this isn't about point scoring.

I think Port are trying to convince Williams that they can get a deal done. That's what all this talk is by the Port guys saying they can do it with futures. If it hinges on what Butters is doing then it could be a very long wait.

Still confused how you traded out of this draft, especially if you were planning to get Nas. Reallllly dumb.

Something I'm still confused about, Port could finish as low as 14th and have a top five pick which would have been very useful for Nas, and they traded out Houston... how TF do they not have that pick? Did they sack whoever threw it away?

He's not going to announce he's leaving. I guess he could say he's put it off until the end of the year. That was Battle's line.

Oh well, we need to be willing to get screwed then. We can't let them take the best player we've had in almost two decades for a pack of shit. 2027 firsts are practically worthless.

32k not a bad turnout you'd have to say. As Ross said, if we can get something going we could start getting some really good crowds through the door.

That is atrocious for West Coast. Guarantee they won't do that.

The issue is how do they get it done?

Battle seemed to pull the wool over their eyes. Players were convinced he was staying. Then Boom, he left on his broom. He was an unrestricted free agent so no trade had to be done, so it's a different scenario.

It's more the reassurance it gives that the deal isnt dead. I actually found Nasiahs comments after the game fairly encouraging. Manager working it out with the club. I know the despair is hard to escape but I think we're still in this.

Lol so we should just hold out hope that Port finish bottom 6 the next two years? Keeping in mind you add Nas to the team.

You mistake me for someone who gives a shit

His last post was less than a week ago. Think we need to chill out, as hard as it is.

It's quite funny seeing the Port list manager say they can get the deal done with 2026 and 2027 firsts. It seems the delusion goes all the way to the top.

I think when it becomes "he'll make a decision at the end of the season" then we'll know he's gone. Time is definitely ticking.

I reckon Port are freaking out that they've missed him. That's where these updates are coming from, the c4 quote and Davies. "He really wants to come we promise we can do a deal" Unfounded optimism rising.

Yeah more than anything we need King back. He is crucial.

The optimist in me thinks this is what they're desperately trying to tell Nas and that he hasn't made a commitment to them.

Interesting comments from the Port list manager yesterday saying they could get the trade done with future picks. Pretty open about something the list managers are usually quite coy about. Not sure how to read that.

Dusty signed on August 31.

The forward line lacks weapons. Yes we desperately miss King but we need something else aswell. I can see why we'd be looking at Ryan.

I still think his statement that his manager is working it out with the club was positive. Would have been better to hear "something will be sorted soon". Also comes back to if he goes wtf can Port offer us?
