Traded Dan Houston - Joins Collingwood as part of 3-way trade with Port and GC

[Johnny Bananas]

I wonder why neither GC nor Port preferred to deal with North. Their first pick next year should be a good one.

 

[sydney_gws]

Can't see port accepting a future

What about if you win the flag this year?

is worth pick 6 and some. There’s no question there.

But I do agree with Melbourne supports that they shouldn’t be paying it. With their current list profile they should keeping their top 10 picks.

But Melbourne have been delusional about the state of their list for years and have repeatedly failed to address their actual weaknesses. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they think they’re one HBF away from a flag.

I can't agree.

He has perhaps four years left.

I think somewhere around 12 seems fair.

 

[wingersclub]

Why out of all Melbourne teams would he want to come to us? I just don’t understand why.

 

[Bald]

Houston is an absolute jet but I don’t think he moves the needle for the Dees on his own. If they could bring in Houston, and identify a key forward for Houston to kick to then that’d be ideal.

I think Peter Wright could be a good fit for that role as he can help Max in the ruck and keep Van Rooyen out of the ruck contests.

 

[sante]

Can’t see why he’d leave Port

 

[ABAB]

Can’t see why he’d leave Port

Reportedly he want to renegotiate his contract after his last few years and Port Power hasn't yet.

 

[danster168]

I'd be more ok with handing over Pick 6 if we got a 2nd rounder back between 23-28. But Port have really nothing to offer back. Pick 6 alone is about right for a club in contention and I mean in true, proper contention like a Brisbane, or Sydney. Not for a 13th placed Demons.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Doesn’t really matter if people don’t think he’s worth a current first + some.

He’s contracted so we don’t have to trade him unless we get an offer we’re comfortable with, which should be in our favour.

But that's fine. Keep him then. Remember, it's clearly Houston that wants out.

I'd love nothing more than Houston to stay at Port.

Ports list managers are historically good negotiators. I’m sure if demons want picks back in a certain range that Port would do everything they could to make it happen.

Would you take pick 6 though for Houston and a pick in that range?

 

[Revan11]

Would you take pick 6 though for Houston and a pick in that range?

Yes. But a third club would probably get involved and I would have no idea on the machinations of that.

 

[Mostyn]

Gold Coast's pick 26 seems gettable, but it'd need more than a Port F2.

 

[TheBoss]

Why out of all Melbourne teams would he want to come to us? I just don’t understand why.

We are willing to pay him more money (allegedly)

 

[schmuttt]

Not sure I’ve ever seen a trade where supporters of the potential incoming club have been so against it.

To trade two firsts for Houston with our list in its current state would literally set us back five years.

getting to the Gold Coast is 2 first round picks. He believes their picks 12 and 20 would get that deal done.

If that's the price for Rioli, theoretically Port shouldn't have trouble getting 2 first rounders (or equivalent value) in a trade for Houston.

Thats overs.

It seems that ever since the Kelly trade players have been overvalued, or their is a lack of talent in the draft.

As in Dees split pick 6 for a pair of picks in the teens and Port send there F2 back with Houston?

that's still terrible for melb

In what’s supposedly an even draft we are just downgrading from a first rounder to a 2nd rounder for Houston

But what Tom Morris doesn't say is that presumably GC would get a handful of Richmond's later picks back to match a Lombard bid. GC could then turn 26 into a F2 and still have enough points to match. They tend to leave out the finer details when talking about trade hypotheticals.

I think like the Crows offer for Petty they often only report one side.

The other thing they do this time of year is they talk in rounds. There is a massive difference between pick 1 and 18. I think Houston is worth around pick 10 -12.

I just don't see how Melbourne could be in a position with their list to be the club to do that.

Yeah 10 + 12 is about on the money.

Not sure how Melbourne will get both of those picks though if they aren't owned.

Freo have 3 of the teen picks (Freo/coll/Port) that they could use to upgrade to 6 but they'll probably need them for Bolton and/or Baker trades.

Melbourne could split #6 with Freo using 2 of Freo/Coll/Port's picks whichever of the 2 that likely end up around 11 + 13 before bids/academy/father son etc needed to acquire Houston.

 

[danster168]

Yeah an even draft where pick 6 is the same as pick 1. And a 2nd rounder is mostly likely around pick 33 or something.

Pick 10 or 12, not both.
