is something I thought I'd never see, but here we are.

 

[GreyCrow]

I hope not!!!

Hoping it's some movement with later picks.

 

[Crow till I die]

So Port, if you break it down, ended up with a Dangerfield type trade for Houston, 13, 29 & Atkins (1st, 2nd and fringe player). They then essentially paid F1 for Lukosius, Richards and a few later pick upgrades.

HAHAHAHA

 

[FR0GGY]

Evens out their JHF steal

 

[Vader]

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

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

Still plenty of time for them to delist more players, or on-trade the pick.

 

[crows dude]

So Basically
In Pick 13, Luko, Atkins Richards
Out Houston Future first

In 29 36, 50
Out 39 and 58

lol

 

[Shifty Crow]

Port melts are going to be next level

So much social media assuming that their board hero in Tredders blocked the trade last night - only for the trade to go through today with only pick 50 added

This is ****ing gold

[Drewie11]

Looks about right

 

[radiojake]

Do we watch Gold Coast now give those 3x 2025 first round picks to Geelong for Rhyce Stanley or something now?

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

They also traded Houston to the club that beat them to Perryman, a player they had chased for 4 years and were planning on replacing Houston

 

[Chances Are]

Same name , different bloke

Edit this one is 191cm with blonde locks

The GC suns bloke was 180cm

He's a doctor from Echua way. Looked ok as a medium forward in the couple of games I watched. Blonde hair and a mature build. Good mark and kick.

 

[CharlieCrow]

Atkins is the missing link!!! And we had him under our noses all those years.

 

[Syd Crow]

Damn Rawlings going to Fremantle! https://norwoodfc.com.au/news/norwood-coach-jade-rawlings-accepts-coaching-role-at-fremantle/

HAHAHAHA

Not a bad deal apart from Atkins. GC not paying any of Luko's salary are they.

 

[Crow-eater]

I said it this morning. They saw the absolute melts from their fans and had to make a big show of rejecting the deal. Their PR machine couldn't take a hit like that. That's why the article released had them "threatening to send Houston to North" as if they had any say in that.

Houston never publicly said where he wanted to go because it gave Port "leverage." They could demand the world because he didn't care where he went. And the port faithful slurped up the kool aid like they always do.

Last night's deal was ALWAYS going to be the deal, too much work had been done. And Port got pick 50 in as if that's actually going to satisfy anyone.

Reality bites, I guess.

 

[CrowToon]

They will absolutely select Ratkins for the Showdown. Every crow should just look at his punchable head and laugh. Pity Nicks is above that sort of thing but that's what should happen.

 

[Crow_68]

What will be glorious is Port missing the 8 and their F1 becoming a top 10 selection.

 

[Jarman3]

So what actually changed with this deal vs the one Port backed out of last night? I thought Ratkins was the sticking point, but apparently not?

According to the ITK poster on Port’s forum, pick 50 was always involved and that was just missed in the release last night. The board never intervened.

 

[Danger in Texas]

It gets better

 

[relapse]

Imagine if Perryman and Houston tear Port apart next year when they play Collingwood....

Port and Eagles boards going off today.

Must be a lot of angry basement dwellers out there.

Port receive pick 50 from GC.

Quite possibly some changes made to the parts of the deal which aren't made public - who pays how much of which players' 2025 & 2026 salaries.
