What is the point of this post?
I didn't compare them.
In fact all my posts were making the complete opposite point ffs.
McKercher's stats are skewed by a sub out on 1 disposal in the first 5 minutes of a game.
Houston leads in most of those categories, but it is far closer.

Melbourne don't seem like the club I'd be wanting to go to. I would of thought he would want a club either nearing the end of their rebuild or a contender.
Your right, if he cares about money then probably not so bad if they were prepared to pay him more.

I'd like to see him at Richmond, but unless we change something structurally I'm not sure he's a need.
With Vlas and Rioli playing HBF, it's not a gaping hole for us, along with the expected improvement from Tom Brown.
Is Houston better than those 3, yeah possibly, but it is far from our weakest area, so not sure he would be a priority for us

You guys willing to offer either 2 1st rounders in the teens or a top 10 pick and 2nd rounder? Apparently that's the asking price from Port Power.

I think we might have that draft collateral at some stage this year, but as I said, the cost outweighs the need, hence I can't see it happening
Apparently Port Power has asked Houston's management to ask them to find another Victorian club who would offer 2 first rounders for him and Melbourne was willing for offer this year and F1, they dodged a massive bullet.
Source? And it can't just be from your "rumour" thread that is just 95% rubbish

With an offer like that for a flanker when their club looks like its going into rebuild territory

That doesn’t mean that they are pushing him out though, in fact it’s the opposite. It means that Melbourne were willing to pay the price so we would let him go. If he still desperately wants to leave then it’s up to him and his manager to find someone willing to pay the price otherwise they don’t trade him.
I reckon it's more of a case of a player deadset wanting to get back to Victoria so the club needs to get as much as they can form him.
Obviously rather keep him, however if he's dead set going then, let's get the best deal possible.
Ah yep, pretty much what I was saying.
2 1st rounders is just the going rate now for a star player who still has several years left on their deal. That's just reality.
Melbourne has never, ever offered 2 first rounders for Houston.
And thanks to CP5, Houston staying at Port Adelaide has right royally ****ed up their trading and draft plans for this year. No other player worth anything to trade out and no draft picks means their stuck with the same group of players for next season.
Horrible situation to be in.
Just to clarify, Theirs as in ours, or yours?

They know that too and this is the draft to hit as its even across the top and bats very deep. They should be shedding players to load up for their rebuild
