, who had his contract paid out after being medically retired due to concussion.

The Power would want two first-round draft picks for Houston, 27, given how highly they rate the All-Australian gun who placed third in the club’s best-and-fairest last year.

Melbourne is gearing up to make major moves this off-season as the club faces the prospect of a third-straight year without a finals win.

 

[schmuttt]

Two firsts for Houston would be wild.

 

[stEdy]

Unless you're expecting him to age like a fine red and still be performing well at 34-36 then throwing 2 firsts at the bloke doesn't really make sense for us.

He does have what we need though - kicking skills, good overhead and likes taking the game on

 

[Crusty Demon]

Really like Houston, but two firsts is crazy

 

[I Love Lamb]

Lamb will pay 2 firsts then roll out his classic “we don’t need to win every trade” line he always falls back on after a shit lopsided trade.

trade written all over it.

[schmuttt]

This has the West Coast Tim Kelly trade written all over it.

Yeah, two firsts would be disastrous. We’d almost want to finish higher this year now, flog off a pick after 10 and some steak knives. If they touch our 2025 first we are ****ED.

 

[booshboy]

honestly I'm hesitant to trade 1 first rounder for him let alone 2.

 

[I Love Lamb]

In what is meant to be a strong draft we go and flog off all our draft capital on one bloke who is 28 next season while we are on the way down the ladder and Tassie is about to enter the league.

Textbook MFC move.

 

[Daemon]

We should not be trading our first round pick this year, unless we finish 12 or lower and split it.

 

[The Dr]

This smells like disaster tbh.

Fan Club (would instantly be one of my favourite Melbourne players), but yeah, don't go mortgaging our future on a 28-year-old half-back flanker.

If we somehow managed to pull off 3-4 big signings in areas of need for one last push with Gawn and May, sure. But just adding Houston to our current list won't take us anywhere near a flag and will just indicate that the club is prolonging the inevitable.

As an aside, even on Twitter the Poort fans are calling for Koz and a first

With what though? Both our firsts and seconds for the next 2 years?
If we go and get Houston just so we can push Salem into the midfield

TK just go with it, if we are making multiple moves it would likely mean Olivers leaving.

For that price though

 

[TheBoss]

Screw it.

Give him an 8 year deal too!

1 first round pick and chuck in a premiership player Sparrow

If our pick is top 8 im not even keen on trading a single first. Houston feels like someone who should go more in the 12-16 range.

 

[Fork n Hell]

i wouldn't be surprised if we use our early picks to bring in a player like Houston and then back in JT to find some gems later in what is supposedly a deep draft.
personally, i'd rather we keep on going to the draft early for kids. i think we have list holes that need filling more than what Houston can fix.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Shultz went to a premiership team for a single future first with one year left to run on his deal. Turned out far better than expected for Freo. Imagine doing that x 2 for Dan Houston

with the way how our team has trended down the ladder over the past 3 years. Would be absolutely ******ed. Port can keep him for that price.

Why did he sign such a long term deal and now wants to go home btw?

Send them Oliver and Petty instead. Maybe throw in Tom Sparrow
