Hinkley and Houston for Goody and Oliver.![]()
I dont think hes a great coach at all but Hinkley plays attacking footy, would be a nice novelty for a season before he gets the ass and is replaced. Wouldnt it be nice to have a coach that places an emphasis on scoring instead of contest and defense for one season?Hinkley is the one coach I wouldn't trade Goody for

Port will come into negotiations asking for 2 firsts. But it wonāt end there.

He is rated the best kick in the comp and plays in the backline becasue Port need him there. Where prior to Port's emerging midfield, he excelled when playing on the ball. Other clubs will soon be makings offers at year end where Port will probable say no. Next year is looking more likelyI'm president of the Dan Houston Fan Club (would instantly be one of my favourite Melbourne players), but yeah, don't go mortgaging our future on a 28-year-old half-back flanker.
If we somehow managed to pull off 3-4 big signings in areas of need for one last push with Gawn and May, sure. But just adding Houston to our current list won't take us anywhere near a flag and will just indicate that the club is prolonging the inevitable.
As an aside, even on Twitter the Poort fans are calling for Koz and a first![]()

Not sure about the Mrs wants to return home stuff given he signed a long term deal with Port, that seems like a made up show me sympathy excuse. To me this feels more like a Petty from last year with the Crows situation, we've offered him big money, probably a fair chunk more than he's currently on and what other Victorian side's can given we have a fair bit of money coming off the books this offseason.. if that is true i would expect him to be at Port or Melbourne next year. If you stay at two firsts as an asking price it most likely will be Port.He is rated the best kick in the comp and plays in the backline becasue Port need him there.

How are we paying two firsts for Houston when Dodoro has already taken them for Stringer
Reckon Hinkley could do well in a new environment.Hinkley is the one coach I wouldn't trade Goody for
Should come down and take a look at our environment.Reckon Hinkley could do well in a new environment.
2 firsts and we better be getting Butters or Rozee
Who says the window is still open? No one is saying Houston isnt good but koolaid drinking and assuming we will be picking 16-20 next year coz we have Houston is the last thing this club should be doing right now. Has backfire written all over it.That would be pick 8 maybe this year and pick 16-20 next year?
Melbourne generally get deals done and that's a pretty fair price for a in form All Australian who currently has 90 score involvements off half back this year along with 500 ave metres gained?
Then there's leadership and character with very strong evidence Port should have made him captain this year? ( There's a touch of Shaun Burgoyne about this I'm sure.)
Injury history?
Throw in Melbourne obviously head hunting him and 3 year's to go on his contract?
It can be dragged out but whatever you land with pick 8 and 18 next year had better be worthwhile when they are ready in 3 years and Melbournes window has closed if things fell over.
Both Melbourne and Port get deals done I believe and it's something that could happen day one of the trade period.
