why would houston leave port, let alone for a club that seems to be falling apart inside out?

I have an idea that trading in anyone good isn’t going to happen unless we wildly overpay. I’m not sure who would want to spend too much time around a pissed off Petracca. If I knew how to drive I would prefer to park the car a long way away from Oliver.The irony that the clubs current ineptitude could save it from making more mistakes...
Melbourne are finally in a realisation they are in a rebuild after "truth" talk this week when Port Power supporters were still clinging to hope of at least pick 6 for Houston despite what has happened lol.Looks like Dees might be out of race
DOUBT CAST ON DEMONS DEAL
THE UNCERTAINTY facing Melbourne's off-season has thrown Dan Houston's move to the Dees into question, with other Victorian clubs expected to enter the race for the Port Adelaide star.
Houston has eyed a return to Victoria, where he has a strong pull back home, in recent months, with Melbourne his fancied landing spot. Rival clubs expected the move to be all but locked in.
However, the Demons' tumble down the ladder out of the finals race, coupled with list uncertainty on superstar midfielder Christian Petracca, has raised doubts over Houston's preference for the Dees.
It is a significant twist that opens the door for other clubs to enter the conversation for Houston if he continues to pursue a move back to Victoria or could even see him end up remaining at Alberton Oval if no club is willing to offer considerable draft capital to make a trade happen
Well, you're in luck.I haven't read this thread, but there's not a Melbourne supporter I know that wants to give a top 10 draft pick for Houston.
Very good player, but not a priority. Go elsewhere.
Yeah, it's a bit much. Something around 10 maybe? Even then I don't think Melbourne's in a position to do that with the current goings on at the club.Two first rounders for Houston.........you have to be ****ing joking.
Talk about a team overvaluing their player.
Ridiculous.
Everyone is worth two first round picks now under contract, it's just the way it is.
When the AFL lets clubs spend picks two or three years in a row, players will suddenly be worth three and four first round pciks.
Not really a need to be honest. Bailey Dale does his role fairly well.Bulldogs.
Mate you rated Houston worth ANB and a second rounder, so i dont think we can rely on your ability to value players.Two first rounders for Houston.........you have to be ****ing joking.
Talk about a team overvaluing their player.
Ridiculous.
100% saved from our own stupidity, we arent in the premiership window any longer and need to replenish via the draft. Dan playing against our boring as batshit Goody ball on the weekend was probably a real eye opener for him too.Probably a win for Melbourne. The word was Melbourne were going to give the 2 first rounders in the teens.
Houston pulls out of going to Melbourne after it looks like their club is an absolute disarray.
It might’ve made sense and Melbourne happy to give the 2 firsts a month or two ago before the club got set on fire internally.
Doesn’t make sense for either party now so the reports of Houston denying Melbourne last night now make a lot more sense.
No thanks to Houston. But if we could do that pick trade, yes please.For me its North Melbourne. Now is the time for them to split pick 2 and turn it into pick 7 and Houston for example
The type of player available at pick 2 doesnt really suit the midfield they are building. Houston will let them move McKercher to the midfield long term also
I dont think North would be too devastated if they go from say Jagga Smith to Harvey Langford
Pick 2,22 and 40 for 7, 12, 20 and 34
12 and 20 to Port for Houston. Pick 7 on Langford/Reid who will likely still be around (1 of them) . Seems a good move for North
GoEaglesGoSGIO would like to know what you find funny?Not really a need to be honest. Bailey Dale does his role fairly well.
The idea that Houston wouldnt be welcome. You are insane to think he isnt a upgrade on what you have and wouldnt be a huge successGoEaglesGoSGIO would like to know what you find funny?
