Latest news after deal fell over:

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

If we are giving up our F1 then WTF is the point of Ratkins coming in??????

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

get the feeling the after yesterdays meeting Houston’s manager strong armed us into accepting that Houston would not be coming back. Just have a hunch.

 

[Chachi]

Out of interest, who do people rate as the better player out of Houston and Luko?

 

[PowerLil]

Actually looking a bit better for Port now , looks like Pies handing over pick 36 also. It’s a strong draft this year also.

Wow pick 36. All good now

 

[Schulzenfest]

As funny as it is to laugh about Atkins, that's distracting from the real issue. The real issue is we've essentially traded contracted dual AA Dan Houston

for a return of Ratugolea, Soldo, Richards and Atkins, all of whom could very conceivably not even be best 22 next year, while also giving up a first round pick for a guy who couldn't get a game for Gold Coast at the end of the year. This is the sort of trade Collingwood were making when they were in salary cap trouble and desperately needed to get rid of players in a fire sale. We're making it when we hold all the cards.

Even if you took the future first rounder out, it's not even a great deal, it's just adequate. We're basically losing the trade by a full first round pick. From a bargaining position where we held all the cards.

[Powerade 08]

Out of interest, who do people rate as the better player out of Houston and Luko or are they about equal value?

Great question

Well bloody asked

 

[PAFC66]

In the end Leppitch will be laughing great start. What a basketcase we are.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Out of interest, who do people rate as the better player out of Houston and Luko?

What is even this question.

Who is better Daicos or Jace Burgoyne

 

[Brian McGee]

We must be looking at splitting 13 probably with Sydney for 19 and 21, that would ease the pain a bit as your getting 2 high draft picks on top of luko and Richards. They are saying a player picked at 20 would be equivalent to a pick 7 or 8 in previous drafts.
Don't know let's see how it pans out but Atkins is just a waste of a list spot

I don’t think this is better for us either. You have a better chance at picking someone good at 13.

 

[Chewy316]

Chewy316 they can't possibly do this deal including our F1st. We just can't. WTF.

They hate next year's draft. 7 of the top 18 players apparently are academy or F/S selections, and it's no where near as strong in terms of depth.

They're still not sure whether they're going to accept the deal - but it's trending that way.

Port have been fücked over by Paul Connors and the political feud between Gold Coast and Richmond.

 

[longdonkey]

If we were getting Gold Coast's 23 instead of Collingwood's 36 I would almost be OK with it.

lol, it's not even a contest. Luko is mediocre as hell.

 

[simba_]

having the blockbuster trade of the window back to back years is genuinely incredible how lucky are we just to have our name up in lights

Any idea why Atkins?

We are weak and inept.

Always excuses.

No they haven't! They've been ****ed over by their own weak-willed cuck behaviour again. If nobody's offering us a good deal, just do nothing!

[Donuts_]

Simplify by taking Lukosius out of it (talk was 2025 1st for him) and you're left with

Out: Houston, 39, 58
In: Richards, Atkins, 13, 29, 36

It doesn't matter how bad next year's draft is. It really doesn't matter. Trade Houston and our 2025 1st next year for a pick in the 2026 draft.

They just can't make this trade. It's horrific. We're losing Houston for pick 13 and chaff. We could just keep Houston.

 

[Dazalinko1988]

Yea I blame ken to

Sack hinkley and sack Atkins

 

[rumoursofwinter]

So is boak retiring. It doesnt look good for the out of contract players. So port have had three players retire/delisted and Evans in. If we get lukosius, Richards and ratdump and lose Houston then we have net zero! Three players drafted plus barrett plus which of the father sons? Burgoyne, Montgomery, Francou) Port only have 5 players our of contract.

Does your contact(s) know how stupid we are being? This will not be forgiven by a lot of already angry supporters.

We only have if we make the trade though. We don't have to do it. Just keep Houston and trade directly with GC for Luko.
