Losing one of your best players and a future first for a draft pick, even a very good one is a massive risk. We already have a very good to elite midfield. Like I said yesterday, it’s more like port are trying to make the best out of a shit sandwhich they have been given by Houston wanting to head home.Not if you really believe that kid you are paying a high price for is worth it. IF draper turns out to be another JHF and his coach who coached them both feels Draper could go on to be the better player, you would do it or I could understand why the club would do it. Players like Houston, good as they are are secondary players so to speak - elite mids are the primary players that win flags.
The real question IF it panned out that way is, why didn't the Crows move heaven and earth to get him with their current draft hand? - there is form in Port stealing in to get ahead of the crows - see 2018.
