If the Tigers get 9&10 for Bolton then North might swap pick 2 for both 9&10 and use say 10 for Houston and still have a Top10 pick in the draft.
This looks a better option for us than using our F1. Pick 2 should be worth more but isn't as useful for us as we shouldn't be looking at more mids.

I don't get why the club would want to offload our F1, we have a lot OOC next year that we need to dump and replace.
 
Let's say Tigers land the Dockers late pick as part of the Bolton deal, would they trade that for our future 1st?

Suns also want more currency next year, would they trade 12 for a future 1st?

Either scenario would require shuffling of other picks
I doubt Richmond would trade any of 9,10,16 this year fro a pick expected to be 16+ in 2025 - Nothing to gain really as Carlton would be expected to be top 4 next year with Houston and a more experienced Carlton lineup in their window

Suns will have so many better offers for their pick #12 this year with a deep draft and from what draft watchers are saying its a very shallow draft in 2025. Future picks would be around 70cents in the dollar at best imo

North would be stupid to give up pick 10 for him, by the time their list is ready for a flag tilt Houston will be getting too old.

Carlton made the same mistake a few years ago giving away pick 6 or 8 for saad, dont trade away a future 10 year player for an AA HBF in their late 20s until you are making finals and need that push to get to top 4.
Regardless of a trade outcome and draft picks etc, just general conversation but

I think north would be crazy not to go for Houston, he would walk in and nearly be the captain (he is in our leadership group), x2 AA, probably the best player of a top 4 club. They have been bottom 4 for how long. Getting young players in with no good experience around them has not worked. Houston would be a huge stepping stone to turning the club around, much like how Brad Ebert coming to port in 2012 helped port improve training standards.

Getting Houston and Darling (and hopefully good young talent) in will improve heaps of players around them

Blues won't make top 4.

Agree 100%.

Don't forget Parker tho.

If North could pull that off thats a win-win-win

Tigers get full value for Bolton pick #2
North het Houston + Trainor or who ever they rate at #10
Port get pick #9
 
Correct me if I’m wrong but if Houston doesn’t nominate North what does it matter what they could offer?

How does houston say no if Port say we will deal with North for their F1 if you want to go to melbourne
Then they could ontrade their own F1 for Luko and keep norths pick.
Because he doesn't want to play for North so Port Power decide the best they can get is a pick around 10 and then have to outweigh this with wanting to get back in the draft otherwise he stays.

Here’s an idea, straight swap for pick 2, luko with ports future first
No really, what's your plan for Lukosius?

He wouldn't have nominated you if he hadn't gotten assurances the deal would be done.

Other than using the Houston trade to get the prerequisite pick(s), the only other option you've got is to ask the AFL permission to trade your F1, yeah?
