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]

GC won this trade still

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Feels to me that between Houston and Perryman that Collingwood have spent 1.8 mill to find their versions of Ryan Lester

.... Just too much money on too little production

You trade for a bloke with arguably the best leg in the comp and you don't feed him the ball it's bizarre.

He should be having 20 kicks a game with 8 inside 50s.

Oh well

 

[markm106]

Looks like we Traded for him but have no idea how to use him

Been a Massive Disappointment this Season except his debut game vs Port

You guys got him for an absolute bargain. But agree has been very average this year.

A bargain doesn’t happen when you put it in the fridge and don’t use it till it expires.

 

[QPower]

Houston was a rock solid A grader at Port for many years, but he isn't being played to his strengths and the confidence we thought was unbreakable has collapsed.

He was a bargain at the time. Certainly not playing like it.

Shit Coaching

It's strange cos Collingwood are very good at protecting and fully utilising their other good ball users like Naicos.

Is it just Houston not yet fully integrated into their system?

 

[Rash]

if Collingwood fed Houston the ball as much as the feed Jaicos and especially Naicos, i think he would have a similar output as last coupla years.

Very Likely. Shultz had the same problem. I expect they're making him learn a new role so he can learn their game plan. He'll likely play a lot better next season.

Perryman

Perryman is rated the best lockdown defender. His opponents on average go at 67% of there normal output while he's playing on them.

 

[aussierulesrules]

He was super-lucky to make the AA team last year. Got just 26 coaches votes! After 60-odd the year before. He’s been on a big downward decline after one genuine AA quality season.

Has he received a single coaches vote this year?

even if that is true paying band 1 money for a lockdown small defender is absurd

sliding doors moment for the blues

Agreed. He's been putrid this year.

Thank christ we took Jagga.

Voss probably would've known how to use Houston tbh from his time at Port.

 

[danster168]

No, no it won't.

We barely got a top 5 pick after being destroyed by injuries and losing Brayshaw right before the season.

Your analysis of things are god-awful.

this aged well. I was spot on and you were dead wrong. Literally we would've had the 5th live pick of the draft. Don't criticise me. If we chased Houston it would've set us back 10 years. This is why Lamb is shocking. His knowledge of the list is worse than mine. by a mile. If it was up to Lamb we would've had Houston and not had Langford.
