Confirmed Dan Houston - Joins Collingwood as part of 3-way trade with Port and GC

[Jeremias]

For anyone who missed the prior warning:

Take the Carlton v Collingwood shit fight elsewhere.

Infractions will be handed out.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Carlton will cough up top ten picks for flakey outside players, but when there’s a chance to grab a genuinely great player, they play hard ball?

Who was the flakey outside player?

You want us to overpay for an AA hbf when we already have two of them on the list? Think we might have a few more important holes to fill

All your HB are shit which is why you struggle to get the ball to the forward line.

Unfortunately that isn't quite right, we struggle to transition because our midfield is full of slow bulls who can't get separation on transition so we rely on curnow, tdk, McKay to take pack marks.

 

[FlyingV]

Is it just me, or is the irony of this that a pick 11 straight swap between Carl and PA feels pretty much accurate

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

12 becomes 15+ and 20 goes out to probably 25ish.

What players would FS and academy picks prevent Port picking?

The first big controversy of trade radio! I am sure that they are playing it up for the audience. While 11 would still be unders it would be much closer to accurate if he was out of contract. In contract for 3 more years? Nah. We should absolutely hold him to that unless it’s something that moves the needle a bit for us.

You know Houston ranked #1 in the league for goals in transition from HB right?

 

[Brian McGee]

What if we want to on trade it to a team that does need points?

 

[bradfisher14]

Can't see this one getting done tbh. He would make us better, but we have bigger needs and the price is too high.

 

[JimmyBC]

North need to talk Dan around I'm not convinced Carlton have anything worth getting excited for in the near future & North have some good kids and a proven coach. Clarko get ya sales pitch hat on.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

You mean to tell me that what port fans have been saying on here the past week is true :0, surprise surprise. Pick 12 and Owies is just beyond a disrespectful offer

 

[Pablito]

Pick North you squib. Overrated.

 

[Skull Face]

How is that going to help us solve the issue of having no one to kick it to

No one to kick it to? You have two Coleman medalist in your team

If you bothered to read the conversation before responding you would see I was referring to our slow midfields inability to get separation as the reason for our poor rebound game

That is what you think. Obviously the club does not think the same as they are pursuing him.

 

[pressurepoint]

If it’s Houston or picks 12 and 20 like previously mentioned in this thread from GC, give me the picks. Berry/Hotton and Hannaford/Moraes sound much better to me. This draft top 25 are very good.

I’m 100% hoping we don’t go after Houston

This. Our HBFs are not Houston, but we have enough depth on this line: Saad, Docherty, Williams, Boyd, Newman, Wilson, Cincotta. Add to this: Two Camporeales.

Use the first round and second round selections to address deficiencies, being a KPD, small forwards, and speed in the middle.

, with the Power angry at what they perceive to be Blues arrogance in early negotiations.

In talks between the clubs fed through Houston’s management, Carlton has stated it intends to keep its pick 11 for this year’s draft while trading a future first round selection to a third club.

The Blues then want to send that third club’s first rounder to the Power, with uncontracted goal-sneak Matt Owies also raised in Houston trade discussions.

But Port powerbrokers say that is delusional when it comes to a 27-year-old two-time All-Australian who is contracted for three more years.

 

[Skull Face]

That is what you think. Obviously the club does not think the same as they are pursuing him.

Let's not confuse who approached who here, Melbourne is the club who tried to patch him off port and when it became apparent they were turning.into.a basket case off and on field his manager shopped.him.around to every other vic.club.

North, us, pies, bombers all shown interest, no one's ready to sell the farm to make it happen or he would have nominated

 

[McOrist]

Port look like missing out on Perryman and Cumming. Surely they now talk Houston into completing the last 3 years of his contract. He says he loves the club and his team-mates, it shouldn't be that hard to convince him to stay.

Sure, that's fine, but CFC don't need him. I reckon the picks are better spent in the draft.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Sure, that's fine, but CFC don't need him. I reckon and the picks are better spent in the draft.

That’s fine, ports (and Carlton) would be more chance of winning the premiership with Houston in the team. Happy for him to stay
