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.

 

[No SPIN]

Houston top 15 player in the comp according to AFL player ratings. Dual AA at his peak etc...

Carlton paid even more for a bag of magic beans.

Just hope you don't pick up Paddy Dow MkII. A 100 gamer would be an excellent outcome...

Obviously flags aren’t a priority for Carlton

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Taking out the pick swaps etc, Port have basically given up a contracted dual All Aust for Lukosius, Richards and pick 29.

Staggeringly bad deal.

 

[GROTTO]

Absolutely... Gold Coast did a salary dump of 2 players they didn't want & got in a player they did want... & 2x future 1sts.

Port took on the salary dump players (1 they wanted in Lukosius), lost a gun in Houston & still gave up their future 1st.

Imo, if Port gave up their future 2nd instead of theit future 1st, the trade would have been closer in value.

 

[perplexed]

no they didnt, they got their objectives, dumping a couple of contracts got noble and move picks for next year NGA picks.

poorly run clubs would worry about what other clubs do that affect their own decison making.

I don't get why it wasn't Collingwood who were forced to take Atkins.

As a Crows supporter, I cant tell you how beautiful this deal is.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

These three way trades are always bad for one club.

 

[GROTTO]

Port posters have literally left the chatroom.

 

[No SPIN]

Your name is No spin? Should be all spin!

Which part of my post is false.

maybe port SANFL side need reinforcements.

 

[Matrix10]

Got back a F2 and got enough points for the campo twins also.

See you in 20 years when Leppa is still there Dodo style making shit deals and claiming to have won trade period.

Pies genuinely got shafted.

Campo twins .

 

[bradfisher14]

I knew that Port would fold eventually, I just thought it’d be to Carlton. Ah well.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Bahahahahaha.. that is a terrible deal for port!..

Where are all the port supporters claiming Dan was a two firsts minimum type of player?..

Some where even claim two early firsts

They have made their side way worse.. and their draft hand..

Imagine they have a bad year next year and finish bottom eight..

They looked terrible in the finals without Houston.

 

[Pablito]

Which part of my post is false.

So neither have been AFL players? You insinuate that they are both worthless, just because they come from meagre origins recruitment wise. It's not relevant.

You also leave out the other picks you gave up, a first rounder and a second rounder. A lie of omission is still a lie.

So yeh your ****ing spinning like a dreidel.

 

[Ugene41]

It's ok. It won't matter in 2 years when Houston is over the hill, you can't make the 8 and Leppa is trading in another overrated pleb.

That's also about the time you delist your next Pick 3 Paddy Dow isn't it?

 

[Pablito]

Campo twins .

They're 18 and cost us next to nothing. You're spud is 28 and you sold the farm!

Can't wait to see Macrae explain missing out on finals through his permanently puckered lips.

 

[Visions]

Played 22 games this year for one 3 vote and a 1 vote ... polled in 2 games for the Brownlow .... top 15 my arse

Thats such a representation of a players worth.

John Noble polled in 2 games for the Brownlow this year. Should have asked for 2 first rounders for him….

 

[Pablito]

And right before Tassie comes in!

 

[THE_GUN]

Why would port take Atkins contract ?
Just makes no sense at all

Give away Houston for unders
Take Luko contract on fully
And Atkins

WTF ?

Cant wait for Karen on the radio tomorrow morning

 

[Cyclops]

I knew that Port would fold eventually, I just thought it’d be to Carlton. Ah well.

Brother I think most clubs have worked out that it's better trade than punish players. We just had a few more extras to throw in, and these days players are fashionable, picks less so.

You're bringing in 2 promising f/s it's not like you mucked up. The top 3 is juicy too. We haven't had one of those in ages...

Yup can't understand the Atkins part at all or why they gave up a future first instead of future 2nd

 

[rainwizard39]

Port posters have literally left the chatroom.

Bringing back the same failure hack coach as always and now trading out one of our best players for basically what the Pies got for Noble.

I don’t even know if I’ll watch a single game of ours next year. For once I envy the Crows.

[Pure_Ownage]

You would assume drug and alcohol testing will be introduced for trade week next week given some of the deals we have seen today.

 

[Elixuh]

Just think, if Petracca hadn’t blown the club up, Port would have just landed picks 5 and 9 for Houston.

Sliding doors innit.

 

[THE_GUN]

I would love to see a West Coast / Port deal happen

Would be a good watch
