Good work Andrew Capel. Good to see Dan Houston getting some recognition as an elite skill midfielder. Houston has the ability to get the ball and deliver it which is some thing our midfield has lacked since the days of Shaun Burgoyne.
“I think he went at 90 per cent efficiency — that’s what we are looking for in our midfield and have been trying to build towards,” Hinkley said after Port stayed in the finals hunt by upsetting Essendon by 59 points at Marvel Stadium on Saturday.
I am not sure that Dan's elevation to and success in the midfield is such a shock though as Dan has always had the attributes to make a midfielder it was just a case of the Coach realising it.
Dont get that ... at 185cm/83kg's he is on par with 50% of the A-grade midfielders out there. And Burton at 191cm/90kgs, can become anything! I definitely want those two as as our focal mids driving the ball out of the center in years to come! With players like Amon, and in future Rozee and Duursma to run through the middle, we potentially have a killer midfield group in future years.While I agree that Houston has been bloody impressive on ball, he's still a support midfielder and I don't think we'd be able to play both him and Burton on ball at the same time.
His lack of height/strength/speed means he liable to being torn apart in contests. However, being supported by guys like Wines/Rockliff/SPP etc. who can do the grunt work gives Houston much more freedom to use his skills on the outside.

Priddis and Woewoeful were not 'explosive'.i dont think he will ever win a Brownlow. Thatsd reserved for explosive guys like dangerfield. What he is a bloody good footballer who will be relied on week in and week out to support the team through ups and downs. Definitley captain material.
Roger James had exceptional foot skills and was as good as inside as he was outside .. he has a long way to go still to get to that level.Was listening to Ginever on the weekend & he said on a number of times that Houston is our next Roger James. Can see similarities. Speaking of which he was a absolute gun.

Houston's foot skills are as good as the Orchardist's. That is what Timmy G was talking about when he made the comparison. He doesn't have Roger's hard ball gets winning ability yet.Roger James had exceptional foot skills and was as good as inside as he was outside .. he has a long way to go still to get to that level.
I don’t see the James comparison.
Dan is more mobile and Athletic. I think Dan has a huge white line fever aspect to him.
Can’t pin point a similarity yet
