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.

 

[DocSholl]

The real problem is including our future 1st.
Change that in any way and it works.
Future 2nd instead

Works in the sense it's then GC getting screwed, which seems the more likely outcome

Suns just need to do separate deals, they've wasted enough time trying to please Collingwood. Sell 13 to highest bidder.

North are keen on Draper at 2, so interested to see what happens with pick swaps.

Would be comical if North take yet another mid

Agree, trying to shoehorn Houston to Collingwood has become a shambles for all involved.

What an absolute debacle.

Noble is not worth 29. I have him worth 35-45 because he has a contract. Without a contract he would be a pick 50-55+. Agree on Rioli but - 13 is a fair deal for him.

The difference between 29 and 35 is negligible when you have a contracted player wanting to play for you. Noble has played 107 of the last 115 games, averaging 18.5 touches, 4.7 marks and 330 metres gained across his career. You’re undervaluing him

There isn't any other club in the competition that would give you 29 in this year's draft for John Noble. He is one of the few Collingwood players I actually like but he has some clear flaws in his game (i.e., kicking/decision making).

Chat earlier in the week was suggesting North would be opening to trading down 2-3 spots. Wonder if that's with a Tauru in mind?

Wonder if the Crows will try and engineer a trade with the Roos to give them Pick 4?

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Interesting. Is that from a solid source?

Hopefully that doesn't eventuate, as I'd love Draper at the Crows, but can definitely see why you'd be after him.

Also reckon you'll get good value out of the two Campo boys.

Yes Drapers in the mix - can understand why you’d like him! He’s a gun.

I wonder how many would want to go home for homesickness if they didnt get the same $$$
Maybe if the league introduced a player breaking a contract needs to payback 10-20% of the remainder of his contract remaining would make a difference. After all they are breaking a contract

The one rule that has to come in is if a player is under contract they nominate a State not a team. So if Houston wants to go home that’s fine but he goes to North as that’s the best deal for the club. Similarly why should you guys be forced to trade with Freo when WC have a higher pick.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Yes

Do you still think so?

 

[CCurnow3picks]

I don’t understand. I was reliably informed by the Carlton fans that Leppa is a clown and cooked the trade

How’s Leppa looking now?

Everyone should be able to choose where they work.

Do you?

 

[TBM]

do we think Carlton plan to throw Pick 3 at Port for Houston?

 

[Basil brush]

You tell us as you seem to know something?

I assure he is looking the same as he always looks.

If I am under contract I expect to stay there till the contract ends I am not complaining the minute a better offer in in place as I’m the one that signed that deal. NBA and the US have this right. Free agency is exactly that but until then players are traded to where it best suits their team.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Let's ****ing go North

North out: F1, #25
North in: Houston

Gold Coast out: #13, Lukosius, Atkins
Gold Coast in: F1 (North), #25

Port out: Houston
Port in: #13, Lukosius, Atkins

do we think Carlton plan to throw Pick 3 at Port for Houston?

Absolutely not

 

[jackag24]

They didn't even want to give up pick 12 for him lol

If you are under contract your employer has the right to hold you to that contract.

Port can say no. Just as Houston has every right to choose where he wants to play.

If we adopt your alternative, players would potentially leave a huge amount of money on the table.

Reckon that’s likely to get the green light? I think not.

Do you?

I dont get paid 8 times what Id earn in literally any other industry so its not quite the same.

 

[A1fromDay1]

Looking forward to the 2025 trade period

Ikon Park would be burnt to the ground if that happened

Tomorrow lunch time we go separate ways. OK? It's turning nasty by checking involved teams threads

You fail to mention that some of those games that he missed were finals because your club deemed that he was not good enough to play in your best finals team unlike Markov and Frampton.

 

[HairyO]

You guys desperately need a decent wing. Cripps cant do everything and Walsh is literally terrible at disposals.

You should be throwing 12 and 14 at Port.
