Universal Love Dan Houston

DAN THE MAN

 

[Astronema]

I love him a hell of a lot as a half back, but I would really like us to move Houston into the midfield like right now.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Dan in the middle is all about match ups. He is the perfect man to go with Dusty in the middle. He has the size and defensive nous to have an impact defensively and the skills to capitalise on Dustys lack of defence.

Have ALWAYS loved Dan and to think that early in his career, Jasper, with completely no form after a couple games at SANFL level came in to replace him. It was understandable that Dan was pretty pissed with the selectors and rightly so. Number 5 is proudly adhered to my guernsey

I like the fact that he delivers when we move him into the midfield. I don't think he needs to be pigeonholed as a defender and defender only

I wish we had 22 Dans.

 

[VineValerian]

Dan = Port's answer to Dusty.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Would've loved him to have iced that goal.

But * he's good.

 

[davo999]

Dan’s just about my favourite player

 

[Power Raid]

Dan should be tasked with beating danger and dusty types. He can outmatch them on the ground through work rate and defensive efforts, run off and present options but also go back and compete in the air.

He has it all

Disagree.

If you ask Dan to play as a shut-down defender, you take away his ability to get a lot of touches where he can deliver sweet kicks inside our forward 50.

DBJ, Burton and Jones need to be our shut-down guys in defence. Houston is too valuable a player with his disposal to be given that role.

I was thinking as a midfielder, not a defender

Danger and Dusty are often too lazy to chase, which provides Dan an opportunity to shine in attack

Dan unlike many midfielders, can't be exploited by being taken into "their" forward 50 as he's strong overhead

Every time Houston does something great I remember that he was picked up in the rookie draft. They still mesmerises me, especially for a former TAC Cup captain. This once again proves he might be our best value pick up at the draft ever.

AA lock

 

[LeoMessi]

100%!!!

 

[GoPorts]

Just won himself an AA blazer. Can't be overlooked after that

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Not the hero we expected but the hero we needed!

 

[dirty2]

Houston goes bang!!!!

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

His attitude was badass, like told everyone that he was going to kick it as soon as he marked.

 

[ClintEastwood]

 

[RossFC]

You bloody legend!

 

[shewho]

The attitude (in taking responsibility) was better than the kick.

The best kick by a Port player in the AFL ever?

 

[Shane_Mag]

Houston the solution.
