Port supporters keep saying Houston is worth two first round picks. They are dreaming. He is a really good player but with only a couple of good years left in him I don't think he has that much value.

1. 119 is a Harshad number, meaning it is divisible by the sum of its digits (1+1+9=11), and it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of three distinct cubes in two different ways: 2³ + 3³ + 6³ and 1³ + 4³ + 6³.
2. Port is really sh!t.
Nah, Gollant has a point of difference worth persisting with. Particularly a forward line of TT, Gollant and Fog would be a real mixed bag.
Agreed mate. Tell George though as he is the one all worked up in a hissy fit and putting me on a (very hurtful indeed) ignore statusyou can loosely translate this comment to…
“Whaaaaa… i’m gonna throw my bum in the corner and sook.. then come back and make a pest of myself..”
Seriously.. I dont know why some people bother spending their time on here if what other people write gets them so worked up. They do realise its a public opinion based forum right?..
That’s some pretty impressive math knowledge but…how is the SUM of the 3 digits (1+1+9=11) able to be divisible in whole numbers to 119? What are my glasses of Pinot Noir making me miss here?1. 119 is a Harshad number, meaning it is divisible by the sum of its digits (1+1+9=11), and it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of three distinct cubes in two different ways: 2³ + 3³ + 6³ and 1³ + 4³ + 6³.

Yeah, which COULD be like getting Rankine rumours from Essendon sources ...He'd be getting that mail from West Coast sources..
Being able to ignore people is the best thing about this siteAgreed mate. Tell George though as he is the one all worked up in a hissy fit and putting me on a (very hurtful indeed) ignore status
The Grundy trade from Collingwood to Melbourne is a precedent with regards to Oliver. Grundy was 28 years old with 5 years of his contract left. Oliver will be 27 years old with 6 years of his contract left. Melbourne gave up pick 27. Based on that, somewhere at the end of the 1st round or beginning of the 2nd seems about right. Our 1st pick this year should be completely off limits. We will need that and Oliver to boost our midfield.
PS. Would be bloody excited to add Oliver and the best midfielder we can pick with pick 5 to our squad!
Don't know much about him.70 odd games in 8 years at GWS.I suppose he was in Gooch's draft, and he is still playing. Thats a plus. Also UF/A.
Everyone is far too risk averse. Oliver is quality and we should be doing everything reasonably in our power to obtain him.
I mean I could see say the premier using their 1st rounder on him which would get pushed to 22 as he is a good player but in this draft you'd probably struggle to get many takersPort supporters keep saying Houston is worth two first round picks.

It’s not correct in base ten neither is his other premise
It is a Harshad number in base 12

Grundy was surplus, Oliver is not. Its no precedent.
What they need is a change of coach IMO.It makes no sense for Melbourne to let him go unless he is a complete lost cause at AFL level in which case we wouldn't want him.
They don't need the cap space and their premiership window is fast closing. Their best bet is for Oliver to have a full pre season and try and snatch a premierahip while guys like Gawn, May and Petracca are at their best.
No Goodwin should be re-signed for 5 more yearsWhat they need is a change of coach IMO.

I’m no mathematician but looked up properties of 119 and was misled. You’re right it isn’t a Harshad number like 117 (1+1+7=9) and 120 (1+2+0=2).That’s some pretty impressive math knowledge but…how is the SUM of the 3 digits (1+1+9=11) able to be divisible in whole numbers to 119?

No coincidence all these rumours (Houston Butters Oliver etc) are popping up now the u18 champs are over and the quality of the crop has been confirmed. Clubs will be talking about how they can offload their problematic and/or ageing players to get picks/more picks in the top 25.Port supporters keep saying Houston is worth two first round picks.

Am I missing a joke in point one somewhere? My year 5 maths from 45 years ago tells me 119 is not divisible by 11 and 6cubed is 216...1. 119 is a Harshad number, meaning it is divisible by the sum of its digits (1+1+9=11), and it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of three distinct cubes in two different ways: 2³ + 3³ + 6³ and 1³ + 4³ + 6³.

Numbers are much higher even I believe, 10m for 6/7 years is what’s widely quoted in media (perhaps that’s including the scheduled salary cap uplift) but either way getting this risky call wrong will make Carey and Gibbs deals seem inconsequential in comparisonThere is risk and there is risk, 5.5m on the books for 5 years for a guy who had a drug problem and dodgy shoulders.
Ahh, of course that explains it then. It’s only a totient number rather than Harshad number (no wonder I dropped advanced maths for Economics and Accg in year 12 haha)I’m no mathematician but looked up properties of 119 and was misled. You’re right it isn’t a Harshad number like 117 (1+1+7=9) and 120 (1+2+0=2).
119 is apparently a totient number but the explanation for that is above my pay grade.
