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.

 

[jackag24]

What was the point of all that

 

[Soups]

All that for pick 50. You kents are fked

 

[projectv]

Finally, now some other trades can get done!

 

[Xtreme]

Well played Port…. You held out for pick 50!!!

Kochie out Dodo'd Dodoro

Port loading up on c graders again

That's an incredibly generous grade to give Ratkins

 

[bird_man]

Sum of all parts is less that what was achievable and even been reported for each individual piece here.

Pies made off like bandits, Port and GC carrying the bag.

It genuinely looks like a fairly even trade all round. Pies have given up a fair bit which you'd expect for a quality player.

I don't think anyone got shafted here and we won't really know who the winners of the trade are for a few years time.

 

[TW Sherrin]

genius by Kochie to hold out for pick 50.

 

[cardje]

Port crumbled

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Hilarious Pick 50 was the thing that got this over the line.

Also hilarious how much of a rabble we are at trading each year. We just helped gift Houston to Collingwood and didn’t get value for pick 13 like we could’ve

This deal looks amazing for you........... compared to the Rioli deal.

port_adelaide_1870 Happy mate?

 

[Pies No 1]

Gold Coast did fine.

• 13 and Port's 2025 1st cancel each other out.
• 29 & Noble cancel each other out.
• So basically Lukosius for the Pies 2025 1st + 39.

People are just offended that Collingwood got Houston, saying GC bent over for Collingwood. When in reality, GC got a good deal out of it like you have mentioned. GC wanted Noble, wanted to get rid of 13 and wanted to get rid of Luko, so how this is bending over for Collingwood... I have no idea?

How do 13 and Ports 2025 cancel out when they were getting offered like the Saints 2025 first and 2nd.

The Suns have bent over for the Pies.

Kudos to Leppa got a 2x all Australian for a future first worth nothing and 2 spuds.

What makes this so bad is they still take on the Atkins $400k salary dump. You’re supposed to get something good for a salary dump. Geelong got pick 7 for Bowes salary dump. Port got pick 50

You should had been our list manager

 

[Mr north man]

Getting told North is the only option will really test how much he wants to get back to Victoria.

odds to stay at Port increasing.

Maybe he should ask to go to Essendon so he can visit that SPECIAL Milk Bar to get that extra edge.
BTW How’s that working out for your club.

 

[Crow till I die]

It was like Port realised they were drunk....didnt want to come home to Mum.....realised they where too pissed and said F-It.....
Suns got creamed a little too didnt they?

At least the Suns have Lombard this year AND a few top rated kids next year in their academy so they are set anyway. Port out of the top end of next years draft.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Holy shit Gold Coast.

Do you feel like you need to bail out 1 club every year and **** the rest of the comp?

Fremantle, then Geelong, now this.

Now yes Gold Coast could have got more by trading 13 to North, but this isn't a poor deal for them. They essentially traded out two mid-late firsts and a late second and got two mid-late firsts and a mid third back, plus Noble.

Suns got what they wanted. A player, 2 cap dumps and future picks they need for academy players. I'd be happy if I were a GC fan. Only club that looks like fools in this are Port lol.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Have people not been paying attention to how much picks in the middle of the first round are worth this year? Gold Coast got ****ed... again

 

[Jeremias]

Amazing deal for the Pies.

Decent deal for the Suns.

An absolute turd sandwich for the Power. What the **** are they doing?

 

[HairyO]

Port just got the Joan Collins special !

Wow. This makes the WCE deal look almost acceptable.

Holy shit.

Houston = 3 average players who will likely clog the list and chew up salary cap.

 

[BubbleBass]

Port fans wishing they had Mackie

Who said that? I've never heard that. At best I heard North's future first. I agree that would have been a better deal but that doesn't make this a bad one.

Kudos to Leppa got a 2x all Australian for a future first worth nothing and 2 spuds.

Complete nonsense. That pick will have value. Next years draft may have more academy players but it isn't terrible for talent.

 

[Scythe]

Nice to see Gold Coast hold their own in a trade for a change. They did well.

Port on the other hand...yikes

They have just moved the pick back to next year for no real cost. Port will be in the 4-10 bracket so may even get out of it with a better pick than 13 next year. 13 was getting swallowed up by the likely Lombard pick anyway.

Luko was smacked with the door on the way out so to get a F1 and a late-ish 2nd (39 might be a 3rd not sure but still) out of that deal was as good as it was going to get with whoever they dealt with.

And 29 for Noble. Some may see this as steep some may see it as unders which probably defines it as a rather fair deal. It maybe a little over for mine but neither here nor there on it personally.

50 was probably not going to be used by the suns anyway I would assume so a nothing loss. And well getting Ratkins off the list is a win.
