That ended well for them. Hopefully they try again actuallyCarlton have found some very creative solutions in the past to a tight salary cap.

It’s been stated by Owies’ manager that the figure quoted was complete rubbish. Seems it was totally made up.I'm not as convinced cap space is a major issue for them. There's ways of creating cap space.
The main reason they couldn't offload Owies was the price he put on his head.
If Carlton were motivated enough they could re-shop Owies with the caveat of part-paying his salary for a period of time which would still free up cap space for them.
I don't trust that vile, iniquitous horde of sub-human ferals and feel they will push hard again for Houston.
No one thought it would be easy. Particularly with so many other players & clubs involved.Or he just realised how hard this deal to get done, will be.....
Biggest thing in our favour is that Suns want Noble.Rumours the dogs might blow us out of the water for pick 13 now. As well as the Swans bid
If the Suns just take the best offer for 13 I think we are done and dusted.
They could split 12 for the Swannies 2x late firsts to open things up.Yea they now have nothing else they can offer apart from Pick 12 or 14 straight swap for Houston. Our offer would be 13 plus Richards and Port are already baulking at that.
Couldn't have worded it better myself.This is the particular stage of trade period I start to loathe.
Everything is in a holding pattern so nothing happens in terms of player movement, and journalists are wanking themselves to death with rumours and innuendo.

How is it not?
Even if we won the flag it's Pick 18 as a starting point in a draft they want more high picks in
I know you really want us to hit the draft Jen, but I really think you are underestimating how good Houston is. Whatever pick 13 ends up being is not going to be thing that puts us in flag contention next year, no matter how solid the draft is.
Come back next week thenDon’t have to put Trade Papers in yet as long as they get in before Trade Period Closes
waiting sucks
Shows trade period should be a week at Most
This is the clincher right here. GC need Lukosuis off the books, so the deal will get done, one party is going to relent and I think it will be GC, they are the most desperate of the three clubs. Port could keep Houston, and we could keep JFN, Richards would then be a seperate deal to Port. So given that, I can't see how it doesn't happen, especially given Carlton just gave up F1 and F2.It's not just that Port wants Lukosius, but that Gold Coast desperately wants Lukosius' salary off their books, so they really want that deal to happen. With contracts like the one they just gave to Mac Andrew getting given out, they can't afford to be paying a guy not in Hardwick's plans north of $1.25m a year.
Take your meds, manic...It's all falling into place for us to get Owies for nothing. Come to papa
But that's no different to us getting 13 from GC and splitting it with Swannies. The offer to Port will still be 12/13 or 19+21 and they would have nothing more to offer whereas we will have Richards plus our second rounder and 2 thirds to play with.They could split 12 for the Swannies 2x late firsts to open things up.
I am a fairly visual person, did not need that mental image. Edmund and ralphy beating it off to a photoshopped image of Houston in a Carlton jumper.This is the particular stage of trade period I start to loathe.

And if they took overs for pick 13, the Suns then need to pay significant overs to get Noble because he would be a required player at the Pies without Houston.Because other clubs are offering more for Pick 13 as a stand-alone trade than we are as part of a packaged trade.

I hope for everyone’s sake, Noble included everyone is aware of how much actually Gold Coast want NobleI'd just be saying to GC it's Noble and f1 for 13 and 23. Take it or leave it.
True.But that's no different to us getting 13 from GC and splitting it with Swannies. The offer to Port will still be 12/13 or 19+21 and they would have nothing more to offer whereas we will have Richards plus our second rounder and 2 thirds to play with.

Last week we weren't even considering we were a chance to get Houston.
Out if interest, do you think Rioli is that much better than Noble? A quick scan of the numbers suggests not.Just fyi, we’ve got Melbournes F1 and Norths F1 on the table for 13, so Collingwood needs to beat those offers really.
13 for Noble + F1 wouldn’t really even beat 13 for Norths F1 but we’d do it to get Noble sorted.
You'll love him once he's in black and whiteTake your meds, manic...
