Collingwood need to get the ball in Houston's hands more he's not an imposer you have to feed him the ball & let him use that leg.

Yeah his strength is his ball use and being a great rebounder, not getting him the ball has zapped his confidence and we all knew he was a liability due to his speed and average defending

2026 and 2027 better go to plan for our NGAs and FS. We’ve got a lot of mileage to make up on the Lions’ gifts.

I’m a bit surprised they haven’t tried him more up the field.
He played some good games for us playing a more midfield forward type.

His defending is pretty good when his confidence is up, but yea you float around not doing much it can all drop away.

Literally his 1 wood is his distribution and vision by foot, and that’s been taken away from him with Daicos et al around him.

It’s really down to McRae to sort that out and he’s running out of time this year

 

[Doctor Feel]

They call him Seaweed because he floats around doing **** all.

 

[all seeing eye]

Recruit player for his distribution and then not use it. Not great recruitment.

 

[davesnothere]

Loving this Houston season, hopefully they drop him for the gf is they make it

The only keeping Houston in the starting line up is his price and it starting to look like that’s coming to an end.

Collingwood would be having mixed thoughts about the Houston trade.

They gave up Noble, Richards, pick 36 and their 1st this year.

Noble alone is having a better year than Houston is.

It’s done if you’re doing it on your PlayStation but in real life you really need to recruit to your needs

Like we did with McEntee for example

You’d think the number one reason they drafted him was for his kicking.
If that’s not that important enough for them to use him that way you end up with a bog average HBF.
Something your wouldn’t be going crazy getting to your club.

Bit like NAS, do we need an elite hbf as our priority or are we chasing him because he may be available.

Kath Loughnan with the unintentional drive-by on Port in the Fox Footy post-game.

“pretty tough when you (Houston) get traded to a big club and there’s an expectation to perform all the time”

I’d think he might start on the HBF but in time with his skills and kicking he’ll end up in the midfield.

New coach next year, she’ll be right mate!

 

[Schulzenfest]

And then there’s Ashcroft. Almost as good as Daicos and arguably just as much of a big time performer. I wish our young kids could deliver in crunch moments the way he does.

Ashcroft literally has a Norm on his mantelpiece, if you couldn't make that argument I wouldn't want you on my debate team.

NWM is more than that

Maybe Dan just needs to poelaxe someone to find form
