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.

You’re reaching!

We finished 3rd last year. Like Collingwood derailed by injuries this year.

We have 1 player over 30 YOA, Collingwood have …9.

Including 6 likely to retire next year;

Sidebottom
Pendlebury
Howe
Mitchell
Crisp
Elliott

Who will replace these guys?

Re this years draft - please send me one reputable persons opinion that it is “commendable” depth & nothing special at the top end..

Houston is a great player - not sure given all of the above bringing in Schultz & Houston is a great move for your list.

Why is Crisp retiring next year? He hasn't missed a game for a decade.

Sidey to play another 5 years as a tagger and beat Pendles games record.

 

[carlton_99]

Don't Carlton have like 12 players over 29?

No we don't.

 

[Lifelong Pie]

Ashton Moir
Ollie Hollands
Elijah Hollands
Launchie Cowan
Jaxon Binns
Hudson Okeefe
Cooper Lord
Billy Wilson
Matthew Carroll
Jesse Motlop
Ben Camporeale
Lucas Camporeale

Gee I didn't realise Carlton's youth were so bad, they may as well have went all in on Houston while they have Cripps if this is what's coming though

Wishful thinking - they’re old old old & only getting oldeerrrr!

You have no idea who they are.

BTW - you might want to turn around - Houston just got off the leash!

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

No we don't.

Nvm it's 10 next year. But you will lose 1 or 2 of them.

Houston is coming to Collingwood, I do watch a lot of Carlton games, don't mind the Hollands brothers but the rest are pretty average, I'm actually happy to see that list, I can't stand Carlton and didn't realise their young players were so bad

It’s gone quiet in here all of a sudden

Per Footywire it's 9. Don't think we will lose any of them this post-season. Will likely lose S.Durdin and M.Owies who are a bit younger than that.

You haven’t watched any of them & can only remember the name “Hollands” because there’s two of them.

If you think Moir (for example) is an average prospect, you’ve just proven my point.

 

[EssendonPride]

That’s what I’ve read - show me otherwise bud.

Please show me anyone that's said it's the strongest draft in decades
You realise how long a decade is right bud?
Decades has you looking back at the late 90s/early 2000s at best.

It's a stupid call, just own it

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Look out guys, port_adelaide_1870 has clearly gotten on the blower to Kochie

Can't say I'm surprised Port said no deal as was a shocker for them.

Now what happens...

 

[Adz2332]

Thank god port have rejected the trade

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Last chance.
Do it right.

Houston for North's F1
Luko for a future second rounder
Richards for a third
Bugger Atkins off

Only problem is Houston doesn't want to play at the Roos.

 

[EssendonPride]

You know it's rough when they have to resort to naming kids they haven't even drafted yet

Deflection huh.

Just show me one person who’s said this isn’t bud?

 

[Makeshift Park]

Then they should keep him!

He owes them three years. Port should reward him with a sympathy top-up to his 2025 salary and he can wait until next year to see whether some other team comes with adequate capital.

collingwood have nothing else worth a pinch of salt to throw in so they are out, its north or stays

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Thank god port have rejected the trade

What else does Collingwood have to sweeten the deal for Port?

Schultz?

Surely as a minimum Port keep pick 39 going to the Gold Coast for their salary dumps.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Reckon Houston would prefer to stay if that was the case.

 

[Hawks_Footy]

Crazy that Port were considering that deal to begin with

Haha true enough on the camporeale’s

But they’re close!

You finished 3rd in the same sense that Port came 3rd this year - nowhere near it.

Weird list for retirees. What about Crisp playing over 230 games in a row among constant high B&F finishes suggests he’s on the cusp of retiring? Howe continues to play great footy at both ends. Plays on. Pendlebury and Elliott still have footy in them. Can play on.

Do you understand that several players retiring opens up space to lure players in via free agency? That is an option. Collingwood are a club targeting the top end every year they can. They are an attractive club to players.

Schultz and Houston are not 32. They are 26 and 27. Perryman is 25. They will be at the club in 5-6 years time. Probably longer. Why do you talk about them like they’re veterans?

Draft picks even in strong drafts are just draft picks. Xavier Clarke went top 10 in the great 01 draft. Billings went pick 3 in 2013. Chayce Jones went top 10 in 2018. You still have to get the picks right and develop them right. If you can cut out the middle man and get right to the established players who still have plenty of years of footy, you do that.
