No. Told a lot to play out yet
Does anyone really know? Feels like everyday it changes and media are just speculating/guessing. Until Houston/His Manager/Port or Carlton come out and say something offical I'll just take it with a grain of salt.
No point stressing about it, don't blame port for asking for a decent return for him. Houston is a very good player, given our stance on wanting to keep our first round pick will be pretty hard to satisfy them.

You’re right!! He’s actually really good.
We could probably let him slide to you for Pick 16?
Technically he’s a defender but he’s more a defensive midfielder who averages almost 30 touches and can kick the ball better than anyone we have in our entire squad.
He’s also a dual All Australian and more impotently…he’s durable!
Don't believe most people are stressing, more intriguing how things might play out
Pick 12 to draft and Houston I’m happy
Pick 12 & 13 to draft and I’m happy
Pick 12 and another first round pick and I’m still happy
Just one first round pick and we don’t use our F1 then I’m not that happy. (Won’t happen)

Houston preferred the Blues the other day if you believe the media.It says preferred it doesn’t say he’s nominated them. Also says they’re at an impasse.
Collingwood, Essendon in the thick of trade action with interstate clubs
Collingwood are aiming to secure dual All-Australian Dan Houston for a pick and a player in the hope they can retain a selection in the first round of this year’s draft.www.theage.com.au
We'll know when it's done.
I still think once the club dropped the news about GW it was to soften the blow re Houston going to the pies.
Not overly fussed if we land Houston or not. Life goes on regardless.
But how's the wording in that Age article?
"According to sources familiar with discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity....."
Classic journo speak for "I have no idea"

A bit the opposite really, we have the picks to get the deal done right now, Collingwood dont, we are choosing not to prioritise Houston and take a different path, I doubt we change our tune but if we did wed be able to get it done quick.

Yeah spot on dd, I was more erasing pick 12 out of the senario, as seems like we won’t give it up going off numerous reports
Sadly about 4 years too late

Suns don’t want that first rounder this year, they want future picks. They have an Academy kid who will attract an early bid.
Baby Steps…

I'd be thrilled if we took two top 15 picks to the draft this year + Campo twins. I think adding a few energetic, talented young players to our list will give us the boost we need.
No doubt, Houston would be a great signing for the Pies (if it happens) but I'm not sure he's perfect for us.
Either way, we can't lose.

He was good/ok in the first couple of rounds minus Weitering...
Once Weiters came back, Young looked lost... had a multitude of poor performances until his biggest stinker came against the Pies first time we played them...
From there he was dropped and could not get back in after that performance...
Until we played Port at Marvel and Harry was a late withdrawal. So we played him forward/ruck in Harry's place... to no one's surprise, he didn't perform in that role. If there was one game we should have played him in the back line, that was it. Voss was so hesitant to make that move after his performances earlier in the season that he resorted to taking a gamble and giving him Harry's role.
Young to his credit, looked a lot better in his last couple of games playing as a KPD again alongside Weiters.
Mid season draft there for a reason. Seamless.
sounds like we're not chasing him hard enough
Great show
Agree. Houston isn't a game changer and the cost is too much. Add some much needed young talent to not bottom out when tassie enters. Use any spare salary cap space to bring forward some payments on longer term deals.
