I like Houston. But 2 first round picks? F* off
I can also see Houston being like a Daniel Rich in the coming years - great with ball in hand but can be exposed defensively.
I'm not even sure he's the type we need. Good player and excellent kick, but I think genuine mids and KPPs are our absolute priority.

If Geelong can convince Port to give up pick 25 for Esava Ratugolea then surely we can convince them to give up Houston for less than 2 first round picks
Charlie Spargo wants out. Unsurprisingly, there is no interest in a slow 5'3 plodder that can't kick the ball more than 30m coming off an achilles rupture.
Not sure who would be interested. He is definitely not the 'missing piece' for any contending side. And you wouldn't bring him in to be a senior leader for a young side; too lazy and shit attitude.
Hunter definitely had an interesting offseason. Haven't heard Spargs name though..keep forgetting he's on the list tbh. 4th rounder will get it done.North were keen last year and can still see him fitting in there.
That said wouldnāt surprise me if him along with Hunter were 2 of the players they found texts to on J Smiths phone.
Both have been missing all year.
Hope we have a few others we can trade off for more draft capital.

Supposedly did his Achilles and played one match never to be seen again.
Another strike against our so-called high performance team.
Plus goodwins's desire to force blokes to push through when unfit.

Or maybe... And this is just a wild theory I'm throwing out there but bare with me...I find it unusual Trac was injured and we still see stories and news of his recovery. Been **** all about Spargo.
Something else must be up
He was on crutches the other night at the game.I find it unusual Trac was injured and we still see stories and news of his recovery. Been **** all about Spargo.

Meh I'm not mad about hunter. We paid nothing for him and he was good for us last year. Type of guy you trade in hoping he can have a good game in the finals.Sorry about Hunter.
Not someone we wanted to keepā¦. We have Bailey Smith leaving this off season tooā¦. Best for you guys to not go after him.
I will not elaborate but just let the Cats and Hawks fight over him.
He was better than Langdon. I'd be more critical of blowing picks on Sparrow, Bowie, Laurie. That little draft haul is 3 blokes who could miss a game and you'd not notice. Maybe there wasn't much else but getting hunter for nothing isn't what's killed usHunter was very good last year, people have a short memory or just want to pretend he was shit coz it suits their Tim Lamb narrative.
You're welcome to have him back if you like. Was OK last year, not great not bad, but had an offseason to forget and never recovered this year. Not sure where his contract status is at, but I'll be surprised if he's on our list next season.Sorry about Hunter.

I really hope you guys jettison Lamb and Goodwin but that appears unlikely.
Elite kicks are always needed. Not sure if you've watched a lot of Port, but there's a reason Port are wanting two 1st rounders for him. Not saying we should offer that, but he's a damn good player. Would love him at the Dees, but yeah, it would cost us too much at a time where we're needing holes plugged. 2 years ago would have been ideal.
It's not about what he's worth. It's about where we are at as a club. I think we need to keep bringing in top end young talent, plus we now have plenty of holes in our list. Giving away 2 quality picks for anyone right now wouldn't imo be good for the club. Unless we plan on trading a player or players who could net us some good picks. But I highly doubt that's the case. Houston is a quality player. No doubt worth quality picks. But we're on the slide now, not on the way up.We are asking 2 firsts because Melbourne found out that he wants to return home and have come after him and he's under contract.
Melbournes current 1st round pick isn't top 5.
Houston is a top 4 player at Port.
I'm pretty comfortable with the idea he's a top 4 player at Melbourne.
What is a top 4 player at Melbourne worth?
Port obviously win by keeping him but if he wants to come home well 2 picks OK.
If you off load Oliver to the Crows and get their pick that's possibly a different story if that's on the table.
Man, I was going to reply to about 5 posts saying the same damn thing. Stupid sensationalism that the media peddles.When people say 2 first round picks it's like they don't understand all picks aren't equal. Like instead of just our first this year, port would be happy if we trade down and got pick 17 and 18 instead. So they get 2 juicy first rounders!!!
We're not paying 2 top 10 picks for Houston, that would be criminal
Two top 10 picks is what you pay for Butters
