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.

Because Collingwood had something that GC wanted in Noble, and they wanted to dump Luko on Port for a good return, and pick 13 was central to that.
Port didn’t deal with North because Houston just didn’t want to go there and they couldn’t force him to, despite the empty threats.

Port had a better option called not trade Houston.

Port had a better option called not trade Houston.

Not sure that would have been a particularly good option given that Connors manages several of their high profile players including Butters.

You might be overlooking or underestimating the clout that player managers have in these deals these days.

 

[Lifelong Pie]

Yeh because a potential superstar 18 year old in a superdraft who can play for 15 years is a worse option than a 28 year old overrated one trick pony who will be lucky to stay on the park for 3 years as you tumble down the ladder further? Your list manager has no recruiting experience outside of he could play really well 20 years ago.

You guys are seriously ****ed.

Edit: and I forgot to mention tassie will scoop up the best talent as you are down the bottom of the ladder. You guys are seriously ****ed.

When did Houston become a 28 year old?? You would be really glad he chose Collingwood over Carlton considering how shit you think he is, probably only needs 3 good years at the pies for two flags anyway

 

[Lingsface]

St Kilda in the hunt? They have the picks now, should try and land this big fish, I think Houston would choose Saints over North as well.

Pick 8 for Houston then Port use the Pick to trade for Lukosis and 23?

Well I was in the ballpark but did t think it would go that way!

I think Lukosis could be special one day it’s a risk but could be ports best or worst trade.

Houston going no where

yeah ok

 

[danster168]

2 1st rounders is just the going rate now for a star player who still has several years left on their deal. That's just reality.

haha reality. more like you traded Houston for Joe Richards lol.

Lukosius, Atkins are both worthless. And the 2 first rounders cancel each other out so you essentially traded him for peanuts. There's some reality for you.

3 months of Port fans talking him up telling Dees fans he's worth the same as Pickett. lol. Glad this thread will be over soon.

Glad this thread will be over soon.

This thread won't be over for about another ten years

Same day everyone screaming about pick 3 being traded, pick 2 from 2018 (one of the best drafts) is traded and it’s not enough…?

 

[THE_GUN]

Its late at night and im just reflecting

Baker #14 Houston #13

Damn i wish we could have got #12 from the eagles

 

[Nvent]

Couple of things Lukosious is going to be a very good player for Port. Really if he can be left to play off HB he will play as good footy if not better than Houston.

Did Carlton actually want Houston?

is still an AFL player.

Not just a contracted AFL player, but getting traded between clubs...

Because Houston did not want to play for North

 

[Lingsface]

Perryman Quaynor Maynard and Houston off the back flanks are some pretty solid options!
Still no key forward but Collingwood full side with those players rotating into the middle with Daicos Degoey Pendles Sidebum J Daicos Lipinsky real depth for rotations.

Boy, has this been a fun read

Port should have offered Collingwood Houston as well as their five best players and F1 in return to be able to wear their prison bars.

Sure Port might slide down the ladder for several years, but wearing prison bars is forever.
Plus they may get rid of Hinkley as well.

'Houston said on the radio he wasn't going'. Man, the amount of times I heard this from Port fans made me tear my hair out.

The good old days.
I remember when this was a viable option for me.

Just need Joe to come out of retirement.

Cripps and Davies incompetence doesn't change me being right. Of course he is worth the same as Pickett.

Strange take from those people then tbh. Even after the airport interview I think majority were still sure he was going.

Port drove a hard bargain and got their man the ratkin

Rubbish.

Pickett is worth far more than Houston.

There is a lot more footy left in a 23 year old Pickett than there is 27 year old Dan Houston..

And Pickett is far more dangerous a player than Dan.

If the crows gave up their pick 4 (and more) for pickett I would be thrilled.. for Dan Houston.. not so much..

Not that I think Dan isnt worth a high draft pick.. he is.. just that he’s not Pickett.

Pickett when he hits peak at around 25-28 years of age will be better than Dan is now.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

This is the first time since 1998 Port's drafted an ex-Crows player, and first time since 1999 they had an ex-Crows player on their list.

 

[jakson68]

What a beautiful day to be alive.
We got our man Dan, for a fair and reasonable price .

I am torn though, as I have options of what to do with my morning.

Do I have my coffee and scroll through the Collingwood board and enjoy the smiles?
Do I have my coffee and scroll through the Power board and enjoy the tears?

I didn't really care either way if we got Houston but the fact we got to take one of the best players from "that" club, just fills me with joy.

Anyway, it is going to be a great day no matter what
