List Mgmt. Dan Houston requests trade to Victoria - will stay if deal can't be done

[Rash]

Latest news after deal fell over:

 

[Us against the rest]

The F1 is like twisting the knife.

 

[Hammer#8]

Only club who wins out of this is Collingwood, they have Schultz so will offload Richards, Houston will go from underrated to an AA lock for the next 3 seasons.

 

[gbear]

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.

So in other words port list management are a bunch on soft ***** then!

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Ratkins on 400k. Bloody hell.

Pretty sure his AAV was $600k in that contract.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

I'm out. Can't support a club that is this incompetent and weak.

 

[chachi11]

Why are we getting reamed by a player Manager? Tell him to eat shit.

 

[Brian McGee]

So would you prefer to piss off one of the biggest management groups in the game which will impact your ability to get their clients in the coming years? Or would you rather take a little less now to keep that bridge intact?

He should be encouraging Collingwood to pull their finger out and offer a reasonable deal for his client, rather than putting pressure on us to deal him for a loss. Player managers are the worst part of our game.

Oh ffs stop sugar coating this ****ing bunch of soft *****!

same they do this im done will ring next day and cancel

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

We legitimately would have been better off with #14 and Owies from Carlton

Holy shit

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Chewy is a club mouthpiece lol. He is essentially Tim Ginever.

 

[Chewy316]

Any idea why Atkins?

Port are still trying to get an extra pick from Gold Coast for the Atkins salary dump. Getting the extra pick is the appeal - the player won't be playing outside of the Maggies.

Yeah I am starting to think along the same lines,

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

So we are taking Atkins to help Gold Coast with their salary cap, and we are taking all of Lukos salary and still giving them a first rounder, I’m struggling to see what we are doing here.

I’m more concerned about the precedent this sets. We quite literally could not have more leverage to get a better than average return (2xAA at the peak of their powers, contracted for another 3 years, nominated a state not a club, publicly said happy to come back if a deal can’t be reached).

If we settle for unders in these circumstances, especially after we’ve publicly stated that any deal for Dan would have to be better than fair value, then why would any club bother paying fair value in future when we don’t have so many mitigating factors in our favour?

Taking an unders deal imo would be more detrimental to the club in BOTH the short and long term, than if we simply walk away and call Houston’s bluff about coming back to us next season and seeing out his contract with us.

WTF why are we always expected to be the reasonable club? What good has it done us?
Geelong don’t give a **** about pissing people off do they?

 

[elsler]

unless that extra is a first rounder its irrelevant as we will be

 

[It Just Is]

Hugely alarming if this is how the club views trades involving first round picks and AA players.

Yes I'd like to piss people off once in a while rather than bending over quicker than a cheap hooker & strengthening the biggest mollycoddled behemoth in the sport.

And they pinched Perryman which ****ed us up.

**** Paul Conners. Call him out on his underhanded tactics. The guy is slime. The Malbun Footy Industry. Dirtbags like this campaigner.

 

[OneGreatClub]

If Houston goes for such a deal I will literally boo him..and I never boo.
Our one chance to get some leverage and we might cave.

 

[Fade to Gray]

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

**** off troll.

 

[Donuts_]

Get on the phone to Norf. Collingwood are getting away with murder yet again here.
