It gets better

So they rejected the deal last night, had an emergency board meeting, came back to the table and accepted the exact same deal.

Bet they look real tough now

 

[JPetro83]

they didnt need 3 for houston

its for fin osullivan ffs. read the actual media reports.

Chill nuff nuff lol

So Richmond and North dont want O'Sullivan?

[Magma]

It gets better

truly fantastic

 

[cmndstab]

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

Except in the Dangerfield case, we were forced to trade because he was desperate to leave. Whereas they pushed Houston out the door!

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

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

Imagine Rat lining up against Houston

I guess that SANFL flag next year is back on!

 

[Scorpus]

This really smells like Port pushing out a contracted player and failing on two fronts

1. Assumed they would get a free agent in to replace him, effectively banking the draft picks and getting a free acquisition in the same role. They failed to get the free agent
2. Assuming Houston would attract big currency on the open market, but Houston chose the one club with the least available trade assets. So they failed to sell a contracted player for overs

AND Danger was out of contract

 

[Scorpus]

Very happy we did not hand over a future 1st round pick and a seven year contract on big dollars for Lukosius

 

[kirky]

I call bs on 750k more like 500 wasnt it a 1 year deal ?

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Apologies, I was thinking of his 5 year contract which expired end of 2023.

 

[Danger in Texas]

This really smells like Port pushing out a contracted player and failing on two fronts

1. Assumed they would get a free agent in to replace him, effectively banking the draft picks and getting a free acquisition in the same role. They failed to get the free agent
2. Assuming Houston would attract big currency on the open market, but Houston chose the one club with the least available trade assets. So they failed to sell a contracted player for overs

Failed to get either of two free agents, swung and missed multiple times

 

[jbanger]

119 - 50 = 69

 

[relapse]

So they rejected the deal last night, had an emergency board meeting, came back to the table and accepted the exact same deal.

Bet they look real tough now

Given the talk about North this morning, it sounds like Port desperately tried this morning to get North involved, but North told them it was too late.

Seems like they've then gone back to Collingwood and GC and accepted the deal that was on the table.

 

[1990crow]

This is very funny.

HAHAHAHA

One was a top 3 midfield prospect with prime to come the other a hbf with about 3 years of prime left, hard to see the similarities!

thread on the Port board is right up there with the Legendary 2011 Bay thread about Port thrashing the Suns

 

[Scorpus]

Also when you give a player a seven year contract (with five extra years) it's not a salary dump, is it?

Port fans not understanding that as soon as that was on the table, the talk of getting him for cheap was over

 

[Mutineer]

Same name , different bloke

Edit this one is 191cm with blonde locks

The GC suns bloke was 180cm

I've watched a bit of him while keeping an eye on Kane McAuliffe, athletic X factor type forward, looks quick, maybe a bit of Fritsch about him?

semantics...port have taken a far less good deal than what they hoped to get from this and that is the key

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.

?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I never bought any of that nonsense about Houston being okay with staying. I bet they tried to call it off and he cracked the shits.

His missus is already living there.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

His missus is already living there.

Houston: "What do you mean the deal is off? My partner already has swatches"
