What does that mean?
He was paid properly ie he got more than standard Rookie base
Yes that would be the case if they only paid rookie the minimum amounts, but they can pay more than that. Houston's manager would have made sure he got paid what he deserved and the club was trying to look for a salary cap advantage as part of the payments to rookies are excluded from the cap amounts.Happy to be wrong - I had assumed that the rookie list even playing all games paid worse than a main listed player.
He’ll never get much recognition outside of Port Adelaide but what a player he is! Reliable, consistent, dead-eye shot for goal, composure of a 200 gamer and rarely puts a foot wrong. First there’s elite level skills, then there’s Dan Houston level skills!
He could captain this club one day.
Best kick in our side bar none. So composed on the ball, very good defender. The only thing stopping him from playing 200+ games for the club will be injuries.
Co-captain (really!)He was captain of his u18s side.
Many of our umpteen-time premiership players got no recognition outside of the club but what counted was their premierships and the recognition from the Port Adelaide faithful.
Houston is doing well.
Super composed, wins one on ones, can kick and for an ex-forward appears to have natural defensive instincts.
Don't know who at the club identified him as a defender but kudos to them and obviously him for making the transition work so well.
