A 27 year old dual All Australian with deadly disposal who averages over 20 possessions off the half backline could set us up for another tilt at a flag. I’m saying it’s worth the trade.
With our game style I’m imagining the carnage he’d cause as a Pie.
Houston replaces Nick's role from 2022. The consistent quick release from the backline that we have been missing since he went into the midfield.He does actually. Josh Daicos had to be moved to HBF late this year to help our offensive transition because Noble and Markov each had issues. Houston is arguably the best HBF in terms of offensive transition with his run and disposal. Allows Josh to go back to the wing were he managed to snare a Copeland and AA honors in 2023. Houston is also a better 1v1 defender than all of Noble, Markov and Jaicos so you you improve defensive capacity of the back 6.
