Probably second rounders for each of them.
So there’s a world where Port could land Luko, Perryman and Cumming

Houston remains on Victorian radars; Owies waits on Blues
By Peter Ryan and Marc McGowan
September 17, 2024 — 12.56pm
Back-to-back All-Australian defender Dan Houston remains a live trade target for Victorian clubs as Carlton forward Matt Owies prepares for an extended wait to discover his fate.
Houston is contracted for four more years at Port Adelaide, but is keen to return to Melbourne if the Power can broker a deal that suits all parties.
The Blues, Western Bulldogs and Collingwood are working away in the background, with the decisions of players including Isaac Cumming, Harry Perryman and Jack Lukosius a key factor in whether Port agree to part with Houston.
Port would prefer to retain Houston, but two industry sources told this masthead that contracted Gold Coast swingman Lukosius was leaning toward the Power as his preferred destination over the Crows.
Lukosius has not decided, according to a separate source familiar with the situation, but he has a close relationship with Port’s Connor Rozee.
Cumming has informed GWS that he will exercise his unrestricted free agency rights to sign with a South Australian club, but has not indicated which one and is viewed as a 50-50 proposition despite the prevailing industry view that the Crows were favourites.
However, unrestricted free agent Perryman’s decision could impact Cumming’s call, according to two sources familiar with negotiations.
Cumming, who is friends with fellow Broken Hill product and Adelaide great Taylor Walker, has family connections in Adelaide and is highly rated at the Giants, but has had soft-tissue problems this season.
He could follow Perryman to Port Adelaide if the latter chooses to pledge his future to Alberton.
The Power remain favourites for Perryman’s signature despite both Collingwood and Hawthorn also holding interest. The Magpies recently upped their offer for Perryman after failing to convince Adelaide’s Irish defender Mark Keane to join the club.
Out-of-contract Collingwood forward Joe Richards is also weighing up a three-year offer from Port – which could extend to four, according to one industry source – versus a two-year deal to stay at the Pies.
Demon Alex Neal-Bullen has already nominated the Crows after requesting a trade home to SA for family
Adelaide may lose forward-ruck Elliott Himmelberg, another unrestricted free agent, with Gold Coast keen to add him to their big-man stocks after his brother Harry’s club, GWS, made inquiries on him 12 months ago.
Are they like Carlton and Geelong in that they have endless cap space?

What finals has he played in, and how did he do?

Vader, pick up a paper. There's been multiple sources recently that have listed Burgess as out of contract.
Seems weird the blues are forcing him out.

Delisted Jack Martin as well, and Fantasia is injury prone
They are not blessed with small forwards
Maybe an opportunity for Ned

Hard to see it yeah
I think they would have cap space as dont have that many superstar players (compare to Blues for example). that said, if we lost all 3 of these to Power it wont be a happy time for anyone...at West Lakes or on here and I dont want to even contemplate that as feel its unlikely

They can't have much room.
Their best players are in peak salary years, and they've been paying big to bring players there.

Seems like pure guess work to me?
You think BZT would be on big money to come home?
Sweet and Doldo on big money? Surely not
if the ins this year are
Luko, Cumming, ANB, Lalor, Dodson, Welsh we cannot complain too much as have covered lots of holes and will force a lot of crap kickers out of the team
mature ruck to challenge ROB is still a glaring hole. and a lightning small forward to replace rankine now in the midfield are the two obvious gaps still. there are no list spots or draft capital to address these needs for 2025.
to me the only option is
1) Thilthorpe rucks with ROB as the backup. Luko is the third tall. Who plays second ruck?
2) Rankine is only used at CBAs but then goes forward. Will that give him enough scope to impact?

Everytime i hear Thilthorpe to be lead ruck, i just think of someone using a Ferrari as a dodgem car...why on earth would you want to trash a very valuable asset like that?

I get the Ferrari analogy but let me suggest that
IF.... TT is first ruck this year.
THEN... Our CBA and stoppage scenarios will be dramatically improved immediately. He adds so much more than just the tap out.
Reckon what happens this pre-season is we get two of Cumming, Luko, and a pick in the 20’s
What would we prefer? For me it’d be Cumming and a 20’s pick, we can address multiple needs without giving up our F1

Rowey said this morning that Ned maybe to the rookie list, what an idiotic move that would be
there is nobody else and he might change the entire look of our midfield
