has played 91 games on Adelaide Oval.

In comparison only 28 on the M.C.G.

On his home deck and up against a bitter rival of his former club Port Adelaide.

If any game is going to spark Houston it should be this one.

Spark the whole team realky

 

[Kes1984]

Hope he still considers Adelaide a bitter rival!

 

[manicpie]

Hope he still considers Adelaide a bitter rival!

I think he'll be fired up and ready to go

 

[Kes1984]

I think he'll be fired up and ready to go

good - he's Collingwood now and we hate them too!

 

[sr36]

I think he'll be fired up and ready to go

He knows how to stop Rankine ...

 

[Rorzza]

I suspect the Houston criticism is based on Ned Long diehards deflecting attention!

 

[yeah man]

I suspect the Houston criticism is based on Ned Long diehards deflecting attention!

Rorzza, not sure what kind of mental gymnastics you're performing to land on that suspicion. But I think people can criticize a players' performance independent of their opinions of other players! They are not intrinsically connected

I criticise Houston because of Cox.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Come on Dan, we need you to step up today my friend.

And I suspect all those who are saying "Dan is doing exactly what we want him to do" would also agree that we need more from him tonight.

Yep he's elite talent that needs to show it and deliver right now. No point being submissive to others on our list. He needs to free his mind and just run and gun. Then the talent will takeover.

 

[rand corp]

He needs this to be a turnaround game, could lose his spot to Parker if not.

 

[TradeDraft]

Hear a Few Port Fans tonight booing him

 

[PearLover5]

Hear a Few Port Fans tonight booing him

Why would Port fans be there tonight?
Don’t you think the Crows are still pretty upset about him KO’ing Rankine last year?

 

[Jelly Bean]

Hear a Few Port Fans tonight booing him

How do you know they are Port fans...?

 

[rand corp]

Started well enough but faded badly

 

[TradeDraft]

Started well enough but faded badly

Like all his Teammates

 

[PearLover5]

Has he touched it this quarter?
At Port he was the guy you could trust in clutch tight moments. How has he changed so much in a year?

We play Josh Daicos in his Position he played at Port

Also does not help we been playing Pretty Crap Recently

 

[TW Sherrin]

Houston was ok. Not sure why he's getting heat

 

[BillyElliott]

Houston was ok. Not sure why he's getting heat

I agree. Was much better tonight being allowed more freedom in his position.

 

[Seedsfan]

Absolute bust this bloke

 

[yeah man]

He had a decent game tonight, not perfect, but he's building confidence. He looked stoked when he kicked that goal and it was really nice to see him feeling good about himself. Without being parasocial, I think we as fans can give the guy some credit and lenience for persevering to get back to his best.

He'll get there.

 

[Masked Magician]

Gave away 3 free kicks at crucial moments

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Houston was ok. Not sure why he's getting heat

Not a bad game but given the margin that needless 50m penalty was dire.
