I'd be nervous trading a future first. Genuine bottom 4 vibes. I don't think we'll be worse than Richmond or West Coast, but most other teams would be a chance to be at or above our standard. Comp is even so it's hard to determine unless you are Tigers or Eagles. Good injury run and some luck we could be playing finals again, but if things go a little pear shaped i can see it all falling apart. I think I'm on the take our first pick next two years to the draft. Let JT bring in some top end talent.Totally.... free agents and draft picks are the way to go.
Although Houston, IF we can trade AN-B and a future 1st...
But definitely Not trading this years 1st Rnd pick.
IF as so many say, Houston is a great player.? Then our future 1st, which I think would be around Pick 12 next year, as a guess, should be OK for Houston.I'd be nervous trading a future first.

The whole situation seems odd though. Trac wasn't at training or a meeting and the player's just thought where's Trac. Maybe Trac was johnny tight lips on the situation and told no one, but I would have imagined that news would have gone through the playing group before hand. I'm not claiming to know anything but the way things are going I just can't trust anything coming from the club anymore.They probably give information to a few but not all - some of the info is pretty private.
Sound like their inner communication is a bit flawed though.

Do you think this pick 12ish, plus AN-B, would be too much.?
True, but Houston is in the age group we need to smooth-over the hole in our list between our 29Yr olds of next season... to our 25Yr olds of next year.We don’t need more blokes who are going to go off a cliff when Tasmania comes in. Need young talent who can sustain us through that period.
Yeah that's probably a fair trade. However Port have already said don't bother calling unless there are 2 first rounders involved.IF as so many say, Houston is a great player.? Then our future 1st, which I think would be around Pick 12 next year, as a guess, should be OK for Houston.

Was he ever leaving? Sounds like a massive beat up to me. F* I hate this time of yearThink Trac stays.
We've got a lot of young players who can sustain us... but aren't guns, just yet.We don’t need more blokes who are going to go off a cliff when Tasmania comes in. Need young talent who can sustain us through that period.

Well lets see IF any other clubs, (who are also aware of Tassie entering) are wanting to give up two 1st Rnd picks... to a current top 4 team.?Yeah that's probably a fair trade. However Port have already said don't bother calling unless there are 2 first rounders involved.
Pretty much. And Morris will just wash his hands of it all. Trac was probably a little pi$$Ed about a few things and then it becomes a whole pile on and he wants out, culture has gone to s* blah blah blah.Storm has died down. Agreed will be 100 stories and in the end it will be ANB out, some dud VFL player in.
Pretty confident Houston will be at Port next year.Well lets see IF any other clubs, (who are also aware of Tassie entering) are wanting to give up two 1st Rnd picks... to a current top 4 team.?
I think, between the lines, that maybe both Tracca as well as Viney are both alluding to issues with the direction of the club.Storm has died down. Agreed will be 100 stories and in the end it will be ANB out, some dud VFL player in.
That's OK, we'll have another go in 2025.Pretty confident Houston will be at Port next year.
Can they afford to keep him if they have Perryman and Cummings coming in? After toping up with some guys last year and re-signing some young guns.Pretty confident Houston will be at Port next year.
We'd have the cash for him surely. Just don't want to cough up any first round picks next few years. Get some top end talentCan they afford to keep him if they have Perryman and Cummings coming in? After toping up with some guys last year and re-signing some young guns.
I guess they will find a way but I think there is a little bit of win-win going on there. Happy to let him go home and get some salary cap relief internally but externally bang the drums about it being about draft picks.
I reckon he goes somewhere but not for 2 x 1st rounders, right down to the deadline in trade week.

Why would any of them want to be an assistant coach for probably less than they earn for a couple of days a week in the media. And as if Buddy would want to get into coaching.My Dream coaching setup would be
Fowards: Tom Hawkins, Jack Reiwoldt or Buddy Franklin
Mids: Trent Cotchin or Leigh Montagna
Backs: Luke Hodge

Yeah, but picking guys from the media to come coach full time under Goody for less isnt happening.Need new eyes and ideas and to challenge Goody. Can't have any yes-men anymore.
Who do you have in mind then?Yeah, but picking guys from the media to come coach full time under Goody for less isnt happening.
