So Saints no longer in the race for Houston

Yep - it will be us, the Doggies, or he stays at Port Adelaide.

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Are we in the race for Rachele?

Dire need of an energetic small fwd. Will be very disappointed if we’re not pursuing.

Don't think it will be the Dogs either

It's happening isn't it? There is enough of the 'credible' journo brigade (Sam Edmund, Cal Twomey, even Kane (connection to Chad) that say Dan has effectively nominated Carlton. I suspect that's why SOS has pulled out and making it look like they 'didn't want him anyway'...

I reckon this whole deal all depends on if Harry Perryman decides to accept the big offer from Port. If that happens, Port won't be as reluctant to lose Houston. Money being offered on Perryman is vicinity of $800k/yr and losing Houston won't damage their cap.

According to Ralph, Edmund & co: Blues trade their 2025 First Pick to Richmond in return for one of the Tigers' plethora of first round picks they'll end up holding this year. This specific pick will be then on-traded to Port + steak knives for Houston.

Port (currently with no first round pick) then find themselves back in the first round of a 2024 draft that all clubs are desperate to have a pick in. Depth is off the charts.

Suits Richmond also as they want to spread their first round picks over a two year period - which is smart.

Blues get Houston & hold on to #11 (Joe Berry ) this year.

Dogs would make sense if Daniels goes as well as Macrae. You'd assume they'd have cap space and he could fill the Daniels role off halfback.

Oh my, that SOS connection cooled down quickly.

Saints cool on Houston chase, Mac's mega deal explained, future picks on table - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1217505

this means Houston has said no to them....

Saints cool on Houston chase

 

[Lukeblueboy]

I’m really intrigued to see how much work Austin has been putting in and what names/players come out of it

 

[WalshYouLegend]

I think Houston is going to happen, because Dan wants it to happen, Voss wants it to happen and we are happy to sell future picks and there will be teams who will want to trade out their current first round for next year's (Richmond)

It will be one of those big complicated ones where a lot of pick swapping happens

Yeah Austin will get it done with Trac in there too

I must be missing something here, but why is that smart?

They are going to lose the players like Baker, Rioli and Bolton this year anyway, so they have the picks to use. The draft has depth, so what is it that benefits them by waiting?

Surely you get players into the club ASAP and develop and bring them along together? Imagine if SOS had said in 2015, I'll take Weitering and McKay but leave the Curnow pick for next year because it's good to spread them out.

I would understand if this year's draft lacked depth and next year projected as significantly superior. As I said, I might be missing something, but what is it?

 

[No1Suspect]

That's not true.

Only 1 on that list

Edit: not saying it doesn't happen but to state it as fact is false.

Well its out now, so fair to say it was factual....

 

[muzza99]

LOL, that's a surprise!!

Who would want to go there!

Dow

 

[dumb]

Ooh yeah, jsos rumour. Hook it right into my veins.

I can easily imagine a much more mundane list of pros and cons about being at carlton becomes something else through Chinese whispers.

 

[RPCB]

The injured list has never felt lighter…

 

[Les Grossman playaaaa]

The injured list has never felt lighter…

Can we put the money we will now save on post/pre season surgeries and external rehab specialist towards the salary cap???

Might allow us to go after a number of top end players now.........

 

[Aphrodite]

Confirmed delistings are NOT RUMOURS.

Outsider here but I was shocked by Jack Martin being delisted. Admittedly, I haven't watched all that much in recent months but last I could remember was a valuable piece to the Blues. Has this view been shifted by Blues fans? Genuinely curious! Can’t get on the field sadly. In the mould of...

Club thinks we're in a good spot to get Houston.

Owies is being used as trade bait.

Mitch Cleary was saying on SEN this morning that clubs believe we haven’t offered a deal to Owies yet because we are working on something else and clearing money for Houston

 

[branedotorg]

suspect the club is still in review with finalisation today. we will get the drips of delistings from today imo
