The only issue I can see with Houston is that Nick might sometimes get pissed off when we sometimes choose to dish off to Houston instead of to him. They're just about the two best kicks in the comp.

I just reckon Nick is going to be absolutely ecstatic to have another top-end talent to share the load.

They both also do those ridiculous across the body drop punts in front of leading forwards when it looks like they're going to have to go long to a contest.
 
Collingwood is still the resounding favourite to secure Dan Houston despite believing the Power’s current demand for the dual All Australian equates to a trio of late first-round picks.
The Pies are prepared to secure Gold Coast’s no. 13 and 23 picks in a swap with their future first-round selection and departing defender John Noble.

But they are not prepared to hand over 13 and 23 to the Power, believing Sydney would then trade its picks 19 and 22 for the cherished No. 13 pick.

It would leave the Power with picks 19, 22 and 23 and Richards for Houston.

So the Pies are only prepared to hand over pick 13 and departing small forward Joe Richards, believing the Port Adelaide request is over the top even if all three of those picks would be late in the first round of the draft.

Carlton has now all but been ruled out of the race for Houston given its determination to return to the draft, with extensive meetings on Wednesday between Houston’s management, Port Adelaide and Collingwood.

North Melbourne is still in a distant second place but not officially out of the race given it is prepared to hand over a future first-rounder for Houston.

The 27-year-old is keen to play for Collingwood and if the Pies relent on some of their trade demands they have the draft capital to get that deal done by the end of the trade period.

Houston has not officially declared he wants to play for the Pies given he needs to keep his options open but Collingwood is confident he is their preferred destination.

Collingwood would like to hand over John Noble and the Pies future first-rounder for Gold Coast’s picks 13 and 23, but the Suns are not happy with that deal so more haggling will take place.

And the Port Adelaide-Collingwood element is not yet agreed either.
So while the pillars are in place for the deal to go through, none of the three parties are yet happy with the shape of the separate deals needed to make it a three-club deal.

The Pies are being urged to consider their net win across the free agency and trade period by handing over 13 and 23.

They have secured GWS defender Harry Perryman as a free agent so in effect would be securing two ready-made players while they were in the window for a future first-rounder and Noble.

The Pies know their future first-rounder next year might start at pick 15 but be blown out by up to 10 spots given the avalanche of academy prospects which will be bid on by northern states clubs.
Clubs are already preparing for the academy prospects to dominate early selections given their strong form in recent national championships for the Allies side.

Collingwood will secure Mick McGuane’s son Tom by matching a bid in 2025, so while they might feel they have handed over too much for Houston they can still have a huge win in this trade period while nailing a quality player in 2025.

The Pies are also aware that having recontracted all of Steele Sidebottom, Scott Pendlebury and Jeremy Howe they are all in on the 2025 season and would be negligent not to follow through on the Houston deal.

So while everyone will have to compromise the main elements of the deal are in place if all clubs continue to work constructively.

That is where Fly needs to coach Nick better and make him a more rounded player.

Checkers and McStay better get their arses fit and be prepared for some sore chests after every game then with that much leather thumping into it
