1. This article is literally the most bogus this ever. If a board member is leaking information to anyone, let alone Fitzy from 96fm, they would be in breach of confidentiality and liable for some serious punishment.
2. If Fyfe did nominate St. Kilda, their 2 1st round picks become the commodity whether they like it or not. They have them, they're willing to offer him 1.5m so they obviously value him enough to cough up the picks. If they don't, then why offer so much cash? Does anyone really think Bond and Freo will accept anything less? Saint Kilda have tapped up and openly talked about Fyfe for over a year so good luck with trying to keep your picks if you want him.
3. There is literally no scenario where freo don't match the offer. None. That would catastrophic for the club and fanbase if they just rolled over and let him go for unders. Saints have no bargaining power here. Freo have it all.
TLDR Fyfe will resign anyway IMO but if the scenario arose that he didn't, there is one club with the power, and it's not the Saints like their fans think it is.

"...check the credibility of their news and the person behind it."
In this case, a Perth breakfast radio host who can't put a name to his source with no connections to the St Kilda football club. Seems legit

Dont worry Irish.. Everything gona be alright.

Unless of course Saints can offer enough that Freo can't match. Then they'd be able to walk away with him. (Obviously a big if but yeah....)
and pretty sure we have bargaining power. We can always go elsewhere with 3 1st rounders to use.

Says who?
Maybe they'd prefer not to.
Because they are happy to pay him the money but are perhaps less willing to offer the picks in exchange.
It's possible.
Rubbish.
Freo will have an uncontracted free agent who, if reports are to be believed, is prepared to leave.
If you think that translates to Freo having "all the bargaining power", I'd ask whether you've paid any attention to player movement in the past 20 years. Or is this the first time you've tuned in?
Who had the bargaining power when Judd left WC? Who had the bargaining power when Franklin left Hawthorn? Who had the bargaining power when Dangerfield left Adelaide?
It's completely ahistorical to suggest Freo will be holding the aces should Fyfe ask to leave.
Well if we finish below St Kilda on the ladder and we match the offer, what other way does he get to St Kilda? The cats didn't have 2 first round picks, St kilda do. That's where the difference is. Do you think we would be happy to gain a single pick for losing Nat Fyfe?
I wouldn't take that sort of shit, you have or had the picks trade for the most important commodity first.

That's what a complete moron would do. Freo would tell them to GAGF.
It's one thing finishing below us, but it's another altogether to finish below Hawthorn. You could start tanking now and still finish above them!
I don't think they'll end up finishing last and I just don't see the scenario where Fyfe is so keen to play for you that he enters a draft. Would be snatched up by whoever has the first pick most likely.
It has begun.
Let the shit throwing between supporter bases begin.

It's been on for like a year now lol.
Yeah, but now you'll have fans from the saints telling you he wants to go to them so you should take whatever they offer or they'll get him in the draft
(Not a dig at saints fans, every clubs supporter bases does it here, even ess fans last year with omeara lol)
I very much look forward to it, and reading back through the comments if he re-signs.Yeah, but now you'll have fans from the saints telling you he wants to go to them so you should take whatever they offer or they'll get him in the draft

LOL....Gotta love Saints fans delusions of relevance.
Saints have as much chance of landing Fyfe, as Essendon had in landing O'Meara.
No one wants to trudge all the way to Seaford & play for mediocrity....LOL

I'm not saying it's likely, but it does take away that bargaining power from Freo if we have say pick 3 in the ND and your first is 8 or something.
Nice retort, however i couldnt be any less worried!
Didn't Jake Carlisle choose us over your very own Hawthorn? The same Hawthorn who's ass he kicked on the weekend?
Pretty sure you guys were also rejected by Ameet Bains the other day as well, but I may be mistaken.
Also a new flash for you, by the time anyone new arrives at our club, we'll be just about ready to move into a brand new, state of the art facility in leafy Moorabbin, just near expensive beachside suburbs like Brighton and Black Rock.

So back from whence you were turfed out....Hope it doesn't happen again....Such stability.
Is that all you've got? Just like Hawthorn on Saturday I guess.So back from whence you were turfed out....Hope it doesn't happen again....Such stability.
