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.

 

[ABAB]

If north already offered their future first and port weren't jumping at it, what does another lesser future first do?

All North said was they are offering F1, the media interpret that as their F1 which was why it was crazy

 

[the big lebowski]

Seems north are moving on from
Houston and looking to acquire a last large haul of top 20 picks.

I would have loved Houston but 4 picks inside 25 is better long term.

North have made a offer to Caleb Daniel apparently not a bad cheap pickup

Yeah seems he’s the backup to
Houston

I can’t complain about adding 3 all Aust to the list on the cheap. Even if they are all old.

He makes far more sense for North than spending first rounders on soon-to-be 28yo’s.

 

[sydney_gws]

Why don't Carlton offer Owies and 2025r1 for Houston?
Port need more small forward talent according to all the commentators you hear.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Why don't Carlton offer Owies and 2025r1 for Houston?

We probably have offered that already

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Please pay up north. I’d rather take the draft pick than Dan.

We may be splitting because we have our own draft targets in what we consider is a fairly even draft.

 

[Chip Scab1]

I think you’re underplaying how much effect Tasmania coming in could have on some clubs it’s not just draft picks either, north Melbourne for example probably there best young player mckercher will be the number 1 target for the Tasmanian team something like that if it happened would be a huge loss for a developing club like north

Yeah everyone moves back to Tassie once they experience the mainland! I reckon we'll be ok.

What’s a fair deal for pick 2? I suspect North have come out and said this straight after the Saints compensation news because North wants the two top 10 Saints picks.

Carl pick 12, F1 be enough?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Carl pick 12, F1 be enough?

No because it's virtually equal points value. Needs a premium added.

Sucks as CFC doesn’t have this ready available (other than Kennedy, Owies). Would prefer P2 over Houston

They want the Saints picks.

Port still wants to challenge and unless they can use your picks to trade in a player, he won't be going anywhere.

 

[Blackhawk42]

pies will get him. 13 should be enough. Any more for a 28 year old next season is overs

Come somebody tell West Coast fans this re: Barrass

Depends if we approach Carlton, but I suspect not in that case. If I had to guess, we are pushing for the saints picks as you suggest.

No because it's virtually equal points value. Needs a premium added.

A top 10-ish pick and f1 would normally be enough. But seem it appears a fairly even draft, 2 might not be as valuable as in previous drafts.

 

[sydney_gws]

We probably have offered that already

I think perhaps try to trade 12,2025r3 to gws for 15,16.
Then trade 15,2025r2,owies for Houston,2025r3.
So Carlton overall lose 12,owies,2025r2 for Houston,16.
Port probably want more though.

Apparently Port not particularly interested in Owies and we're not keen enough on Houston to do it with the picks they want

 

[jakson68]

Houston will get to where he wants to go.
One group of supporter base will be happy, all other supporters will laugh saying they paid too much, whilst being quietly jealous their own team couldn't get it done.

It really is Bigfooty 101.

 

[Watto71]

If Houston was playing any big Vic club they would be asking for 2 1st.
But because he plays for Port he is worth less

Not that I support a big Melbourne Club, but you are trading a soon to be 28 year old player. If he was 23 or 24, sure, you'd be right. You're basically saying 19 year old JHFF was worth the same as Houston in a round about way. He's worth double - you know this and your club benefited greatly on the back of tapping up a former number 1 pick but valuing him as a soon to be 28 year old half back 2x AA flanker. It's mildly amusing, I must say.

 

[ahhhhhh]

Are Pies just going after whoever is available? They don't really have a clear strategy do they. Probably to do with a lack of football boss for 12 months.

I'd be slightly worried if I was a Pies supporter. They've blown their chance to draft until after Tassie are finished getting all their picks.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Yeah I actually rate him to be honest a good kick hits targets is quick and considering his size actually competes ok in contests.

 

[ferball]

Takes some of us 40 years...

Port are literally asking for 2 F1’s. It’s up to them if they cave.
