Could do worse (and would keep JVR out of the ruck), but he's another that would probably struggle with the way we move the ball as he's hardly a pack-crashing contested beast (despite his size).
That, and Essendon are a nightmare to deal with. Probably rather focus our efforts on rejuvenating the midfield, but if he somehow came cheap, why not.
Not sure if there was another update after this: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/af...s/news-story/a49a22fd422d377a08e52063be9a17dfIsn’t Dodoro gone? Wouldn’t it be Mahoney we need to deal with now?
I do wonder if they see Houston as somebody who could play mid time for the next few years (on paper, Rivers, Houston and Petracca sounds like a much more dynamic mix than Oliver, Viney and Petracca), but there's no real exposed form with Houston in that role, so it'd be an even bigger gamble.
Only way anything works is if at least one of those leave/play a different role/play at Casey. If they're our two highest CBA mids again next year (as they have been for the better part of a decade), we're not achieving anything meaningful.Only way Houston works is if we **** off Oliver / Viney
Yep said it about a month ago. Not that I think he makes us massively better but if it saves JVR and Petty from doing ruck work its absolutely something we should look at assuming they arent asking for a Dodoro style price.Anyone for Peter Wright? Playing VFL and his deal is until 2027 so would require a trade, would help up forward and as second ruck.
If we could jag North's second for Viney and on-trade that for Wright that could work.Yep said it about a month ago.

Id want a future third or something back given the pick will be in the early 20's Wright's on a decent wage and hes not getting a game but yeah, something like that works for me.If we could jag North's second for Viney and on-trade that for Wright that could work.

Personally I think that's the idea. Gus replacement but with a better kick. Could either launch us from defence or deliver better inside 50. You're right though, it's a gamble, but every kick out of the middle by Clarry, Viney or Gawn is a gamble currently anyway.
Plus Dan Houston is better than Clarry anyway.
If that means no more Ben Brown, I am all for 2MP.
He's younger, stronger and can pinch hit in the ruck.
We'd have to be really close to a retirement announcement from him now.
Look, I myself hope Clarry can turn it around, I just have suspicion that he has peaked.I love Clarry in general, but hard to defend him now - Would think Houston in the midfield is less of a gamble than Clarry in the midfield in terms of 2025 as things currently stand. I still reckon Clarry can turn it around, but geez the odds are dwindling by the week atm.

Whereas Houston has more versatility.
Just not for that price though.
Still have a conspiracy theory something is happening somewhere with our contracted players though - Given our draft capital and who we've been reported as chasing, there must be currency coming from somewhere to trade.
Maybe its just future pick trading, but just doesn't add up atm for mine.
I'm just glad future pick trading for 2 years hasn't kicked in this year. Imagine how screwed we could make ourselves with that much power right before compromised draftsStill have a conspiracy theory something is happening somewhere with our contracted players though - Given our draft capital and who we've been reported as chasing, there must be currency coming from somewhere to trade.
