Yep. On massive coin. Over 1.2 million over the next 2 years I believe.

Houston gets majority of his stats kicking out. Not to say he isn't a good player. I just don't think he's the game changer people think he is.
So Houston was on our radar after all but Pies with a deal that we were never going to entertain
We were never going to pay overs, and no need to given our list

Which trades do you all think are being held back for the "prime time" last hour live stream on Fox Footy?...
Owies is the big one

Pick 3 is the pick Sheezel was taken with, if we got that we have every chance to have a player who impacts round 1 2025
Hollands debuted in round 1, 2023 and kicked the ball to Acres in our SF win - he was taken with pick 11 IIRC in a shallow draft
This is a super draft, we could get that Viking kid whatever his name is who could play intercepting defender round 1
We could get a small forward who kicks 20+ in his first season, the first round is littered with class
Houston is a jet, but he is better suited to Collingwoods requirements than ours
I rate Houston highly. Fantastic player
In 2025 we will have Saad, Cowan, Boyd, Docherty, Cincotta, Ollie, Wilson, both Campo twins, maybe Travaglia as running HB options. We are in a great spot
We can now focus on better, quicker mids and maybe an X factor small forward
We can also now enjoy re signing TDK and targeting 1 or 2 guns this time next year to help us go back to back
All good

That would be hilarious if Smith & Houston and Baker & all the big ones got done tomorrow and then....Owies last on Wednesday night
why the hell would collingwood care about future if they win 1-2 flags before houston retires.
Geelong are not that great. Won't win another flag with the current group. Next year or year after they will fall away. Many retirements.
The stand rule might favour older players. Helps them get around players on the mark.
Said it was his gut feeling. Didn't claim any insight.

I just can't believe Gold Coast.
They had better offers from clubs other than Collingwood.
Now they're going to pay Noble $800k and realistically he gets them no closer.
They go from one bad contract to another two or three.

So did Luke Livingstone... also because they actually played him in the right position instead of trying to make a very attacking tall into a defender.
They're more like Hawthorn in 16, and the Tiges in 22
Luko has 2yrs to go on his current contract, which was reported at $1M per season (backended).
They start again after a trade, so not sure PTA will be paying the same moving forward (though with the salary cap increases these figures are not out of scope for such payments to be the norm for a host of players per squad).
is that not what they would be aiming for?

Whatabout if Bailey Smith nominated for the draft in the belief that every club would wave him through to the cats pick. Would you take him at 14 in the belief we could talk him round Michael?
we'll see, im not as confident of a fall off like everyone else seems to be

So pies are winning 1 to 2 flags and Cripps retiring, anything else ?
you can only offer what you can, it isn't Austin's fault
Yes because Bailey Smith plays in a position of need and is younger, makes us significantly and immediately better

Premiership Player
You're presuming they become players - it's about 50/50 chance for each.
And will contribute zip for 2-4 years.
Yes, Houston would have been a quick fix - for 5 years or so.... would have slammed us into premiership contention.
Dumb af, unless they're still trying to snare SDK or the TRAC...
