That deal values Luko as worth a F1 and Houston as picks 13 and 29. Everything else is just steak knives.

That seems fair actually. Not sure what Port fans were expecting. Seeing them have to come to grips with Atkins playing for them is funny though.

they thought they were getting pick 2 or 3 for houston straight up before all this

 

[Crow till I die]

So what was the difference between that and the one from yesterday?

Nothing...and thats the funny part. All those Port melts, then the relief that came when the deal got pulled only for this to land...groundhog day lol

in the mega deal to Port is redefining the meaning of steak knives

more a rusty teaspoon

 

[El Doederino]

Dunno how I'd feel about Rat lining up against us in a Showdown when he was one of the best shit stirrers against Port.

I'll be giving him a standing ovation

 

[Bernie L]

Port board losing their shiit. Far ken hilarious!!!

 

[El Doederino]

I asked last night, and its more an issue now.

Do they even have a list spot for that pick 50?

 

[Crow till I die]

they thought they were getting pick 2 or 3 for houston straight up before all this

There was a mention on ahem..cough cough..trade radio, that Port might look to deal with Sydney for pick 13 for their 19 & 22. Could we rule them out of taking Dodson in that case?

But they are out of next years 1st round thankfully so Sharpe is a no go unless they shop Butters and then they are not getting stronger in the short term

 

[Danger in Texas]

Holding out for 50?

 

[DJ75]

they thought they were getting pick 2 or 3 for houston straight up before all this

or two top 10 picks.

Fair to say that Lukosious is going to be the whipping boy of all whipping boys on that forum within 18 months. 7 years is going to feel a very long time.

 

[1970crow]

It's a fair deal but Port fans expected the world

I still think Gold Coast are laughing having gotten a player they don't want and a contract they can't afford out of the club for evens, at worst.

 

[Scorpus]

Port fans when the board stops a trade from proceeding only to fold for an additional pick 50

 

[CrowToon]

Last night's melts were brilliant to follow along with. Tonight just might save me my weekly trip to the brothel. Tonight the wife and I will dine on steak and tears.

 

[skam85]

depends how invested you are in the SANFL I suppose

 

[Amacca 23]

I'll be giving him a standing ovation

They can trade it into next year if they don't.

 

[Drewie11]

All Port held out for was PICK 50?! That’s why the board intervened?

This is hilarious and the $400k Atkins salary dump makes this trade even worse

 

[jackster83]

Maddogmetro may want to change your profile pic

Nah, it's even funnier now.

Bergman will be going next year. Hence their strong interest NWM

 

[FR0GGY]

Two first rounders and traded out a first rounder they were trading out anyway.

Bergman and butters would be the icing on the cake

That seems fair actually. Not sure what Port fans were expecting. Seeing them have to come to grips with Atkins playing for them is funny though.

The Suns being classic Suns and giving up pick 6 and 23 for Rioli makes it hard to have balance with Houston, so I can see why they’re angry

 

[GreyCrow]

it's like the exact same and port just get pick 50

Someone got pizzas

 

[radiojake]

Nah, it's even funnier now.

definitely needs to keep it

if anything, just a high resolution version may be required

 

[Danger in Texas]

So, was Rat their plan C after Perryman and Cumming? Because that ain’t much of a plan C, Crippa
