Would be great wouldn't it.
Although as long as it's happening behind closed doors I couldn't give a shit.
That is what Dan's manger has been shopping around for months where only the Dees had agreed to the price.
Whereas the Saints said no, and then went public

Our request for two firsts will be tested compared to what Richmond get for Dan Rioli. They compare closely:

Dan Houston - 27- 168 games- 2 x All-Australian
Translation: Dan Houston is a very good player.
Dan Rioli- 27 yo- 183 games- 3 Premierships
Dan Rioli was a bog average small forward that played in a good team that had Dustin Martin go full beast mode in finals.

Dan Rioli is a much better footballer now though.
 
F****** Davies saying he doesn't know where the 2 x firsts for Houston came from, and that the club will see what gets offered to us.

P*** weak backtracking again. FFS show some spine Port. Dig your heels in.
Basically saying we'll accept a first rounder and accepting defeat that there's no way two first rounders are coming in.
Close enough is good enough at Port.

What an awful negotiator.

Can we move him on now so he doesn't ruin the list on his way out?

I'd be keeping Dan if the best offer ends up being a single (probably mid-late) first round pick and some shuffling of later picks for optics.

Unless it's because North and pick 2 are actually in play, then sure, take that. But I doubt it. It'll be Carlton trying to use a pick then ends up being about 15. Pass.

For ****'s sake. We're so ****ing weak.

Next minute we trade him to Collingwood for Joe Richards and a future third. The AFL happily ticks off on this.

This completely misrepresents what he said. He basically deadbatted/non-answered any discussion of valuing any players in trade/free agent discussions - Houston, Lukosius, Richards, Perryman, Cumming.

There is no evidence that he wouldn’t enter trade discussions with hefty demands for clubs interested in trading for Houston. Nor is there any value in a public declaration of “two firsts or **** off campaigners”. This is not the Draft and Trading board on BigFooty.

North's pick 2 might be involved in the trade, but we wouldn't be getting it. North would be trading pick 2 to someone else that gives them multiple picks back for it, and then we'd get one of those picks.
 
Houston is a footballers footballer
The kind who grew up bouncing the pill down his high school corridors with no intentions of studying

Literally brainwashed by the sherrin
Keep him **** carltank
Dan was Captain of the Camberwell Grammer school and every footy team he played for.
With the benefit of hind sight perhaps he should have been appointed Captain instead of Rozee.
