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

[PortAdelFC1997]

If a club cannot satisfy our demands. Keep him then. If clubs want Houston that badly, they must be prepared to give up that much.

Pick 6 for Rioli, but we expect more than 12 for Houston and we're the bad guys here?

That's crazy talk

............ ahhhh it's Ralphy

 

[YoungsterPA]

pick 13 for baker??

 

[PAFCsince1870]

**** em all and just keep Dan in a Port Adelaide guernsey in 2025. His missus can move to SA if it's so important to them.

Be good to get Melbourne back into this discussion

“Melbourne were absolutely prepared (to pay two-first rounders), and I think they might still be, now that they’ve seen to have almost worked through (their recent ‘crisis) - I wouldn’t shut the door on Melbourne,” Edmund stated.

[JUSTWORK]

We should tell Carlton to go and get stuffed and negotiate exclusively with North for pick 2.

If that doesn’t work, keep him.

Carlton, with Houston, could very well be a flag contender next year. It’s in our best interests to not make Carlton a better side next year.

 

[Jojay]

Lol second rounder for Graham... jeebus

 

[philthy05]

Couldn’t see us getting a future first along with pick 5… could be more like the 25 they would get for Neal bullen.

Talk was consistent they melb were prepared to pay the 2 1st rounders price.


Why would we backtrack now when there’s so much interest in him and if melb still want it to go through?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

We should just tell Dan we are more than happy to trade him to Melbourne the club. If he wants to get home take it.

If he wants to go elsewhere he needs to convince them to beat the offer.

Simple.

I think that when they discussed that their first was looking to be a bit higher than 5. If we could get it then brilliant, but I think it will be a struggle.

 

[rignanv]

Just looking at Houston in isolation, ignoring what comparable players are being traded for, I'd take pick 5 and a second rounder or F2

 

[Gryllis]

Presumably he hasn't nominated a club since it doesn't look like Carlton can get it done.

I think there's a real chance we end up keeping him and talk again next year. Or Melbourne come back into the conversation.

 

[davesnothere]

I know people will say we are being hypocrites seeing as though we got JHF in contract but that was a contract that he had no choice in, was drafted to a club he never wanted to be at, and was a homesick 18 year old.

Houston has been here 8 years, played 167 games and signed a long term deal that still has 3 years to go. Has always said how much he loves the club and he is playing the best footy of his career as a dual AA of the last 2 years.

There has not been one legitimate reason given for him wanting to break that contract. It makes no sense. I would 100% be digging our heels in with this one. Why should we just let him leave for unders?

Dan will stay if we get unders. No problems.

 

[philthy05]

Not really

They were shit all year. They wouldn’t have agreed if they thought it would be an issue.

Not like they dropped from a long way

 

[davesnothere]

The last part of the deal needs to be a outcome we want.

Let's say a decent pick from North and Taylor Goad. There’s something we can talk about.


( North aren't trading Goad unless they think it's a good idea but we can talk about it.)

 

[Spadge]

so let me get this right

<insert bog average Victorian club player> - <Pick 6 / Pick 12 / Pick 13>

<insert multi year contracted reigning dual All Australian SA club player> - a first rounder? tell em they are dreaming!

Never change VFL

 

[Jojay]

Lol get a load of these muppets...

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Where did our interest in Matt Owies come from?

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Where did our interest in Matt Owies come from?

Since we're in the market for a small forward, Carlton are using Owies essentially as steak knives in the deal. HELL NO to that.

Also Dan please pick North or Melbourne. Preferable Melbourne since they were wiling to put pick 5 and next years 1st rounder on the table and could put those picks on the table again. PLEASE I'M BEGGING YA.

 

[all seeing eye]

Think Dan will have to stay for another year.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Dan will stay if we get unders. No problems.

Then what do you give for Luko?
