despite believing the Power's current demand for the dual All Australian equates to a trio of late first-round picks.
The Pies are prepared to secure Gold Coast's no. 13 and 23 picks in a swap with their future first-round selection and departing defender John Noble

.
But they are not prepared to hand over 13 and 23 to the Power, believing Sydney would then trade its picks 19 and 22 for the cherished No. 13 pick.
It would leave the Power with picks 19, 22 and 23 and Richards for Houston.

 

[rogerjames]

Im gunna say it again, if we cave and let Houston go for 1 pick in the teens and steal knives, ill never respect this club again.

Stick to your guns, 2 first rounders (or 1 real good one) or stay.

I have no respect for the club now under the current regime. However, I will raise my levels of disgust at the club if they don't stick with their initial demands. I have little faith they will.

 

[TazD]

Dan, you are....

A Kanga kanga kanga, roo roo roo!

 

[jakson68]

Port
Out: Houston, F1, Lord
In: Luko, N Daicos, Joechards, 13, 23

Gold Coast
Out: 13, 23, Luko
In: Noble, Moore, Port's F1

Collingwood
Out: Moore, N Daicos, Joechards
In: Houston, Lord

Who says no?

Judging from what Power supporters are rating Houston, Port still say no.
Maybe we send both Daicos brothers as a sweetener.

 

[rogerjames]

Allowing Collingwood to cut our lunch with Perryman and then giving them Houston would be such a cuck move. Have some ****ing pride

Remember Cardone works for them. He's actually a spy.

 

[bringbackbucky]

The ruthless Port Adelaide FC that I grew up supporting, a club with a single minded commitment to winning Premierships, would not trade an elite player to one of it's direct, immediate competitors.

That ruthless club would be telling Dan that it is North, or it is nothing.

I miss that club.

He's worth two first rounders this year , we've said it from the start. Hell his worth pick one if rioli is worth 6,13

Sounds about right

 

[Brian McGee]

Mate he is literally in our top few players. Have a think about who your 3rd or 4th best player is and then think about what return you might like in a trade for them. Maybe degoey or Josh daicos? What would you expect? With their available capital there is no way that Collingwood can pay overs on this deal and we are getting screwed.

CARDONE. We have been screwed over by Collingwood for years with our entry, prison bars etc. We have a spy on our board.

Do you think Collingwood would trade a guy coming off of two consecutive AA selections and with three years left on his contract for a pick in the teens and a 25 year old uncontracted VFL player? Flog.

Finally, a fair and reasonable Collingwood fan!

Just because you’re a heartland VFL club doesn’t mean we provincials must bow down and give you our best players because you say so

 

[HorneyFrancis]

How the F*** can a club (Collingwood) without a current F1 pick trade an average player (Noble) and end up with a B2B AA upgrade in Houston. Absolutely bullied and an embarrassment to the league - we've gone out early and demanded two firsts and then end up with this proposed haul. Actually cannot believe it.

 

[rogerjames]

To trade him to Collingwood for pick 13 and some bullshit 2nd rounder after they took Perryman would be classic Port Adelaide social club, we exist to make opposition recruiters proud.

CARDONE is a spy

 

[jac147]

Absolutely. And despite some posters saying we will cave, at this stage there is nothing to suggest that is happening. Collingwood and the Victorian media can go and get ****ed.

You know our masters (the AFL) may have the final say. That’s what I’m scared about in

I can. Clubs been taking it up the arse for many years now.

 

[PowerLil]

Guaranteed we will be screwed over

We get screwed over if we allow ourselves to be screwed over. We will be responsible and it should be framed as such.

 

[rogerjames]

We find out Houston wants to go home, so we chase a free agent to replace him, but said free agent turns us down and chooses a rival club, so we then go and trade Dan to that same rival club, for massive unders. Sounds very on-brand…

CARDONE

 

[jakson68]

There is no way Rioli is worth pick 6, let alone 6 and 13. That is just nonsense.
My personal opinion (not that it means much, same as everybody else on Bigfooty) is that Houston is worth more than Rioli.
A fair bit more also.

That being said however, Richmond are in a better position because GC has the better picks, the Hardwick connection and well they just are.

Port unfortunately are not as blessed this time around.
Yes they could tell him to stay. But we all know clubs these days dont do that.
Be it culture, be it AFLPA pressure, who know, it just doesn't happen.

Port could send him to North but Dan may not want that. Personally I think players have too much power.

Eventually we may get to a position where if a player can choose to go wherever he likes as a FA, then a club can trade a contracted player to whomever they choose, without the players consent.

As a code, we are just not that mature yet.

 

[chachi11]

We can be pissed off in what Collingwood are offering, but at the end of the day blame the club if they accept it.
Grow some nuts and tell Dan he's staying or playing for North.

 

[rogerjames]

We get screwed over if we allow ourselves to be screwed over. We will be responsible and it should be framed as such.

Of course. That's a given. But we all know we will be. It's as obvious as failing in finals once again.

We have to get rid of CARDONE. He's a spy.

 

[Jojay]

What am I missing here? We have all the leverage here. F*** collingwood

 

[SureBuddy]

Hearing he had a walk through facilities last night and this gets done today to Collingwood.. I bloody hope we don't get screwed but given how early it is.. very likely.

Okay Mr 5 post Horney Francis. They are not even remotely close to a deal that both parties are happy with, this is definitely not happening today. It would take one almighty backflip from either side for that to happen.

 

[rogerjames]

Richmond are arguing what should be added to pick 6 to acquire Rioli.


Richmond are asking for picks 10,11 for Bolton and don’t look poised to take anything less than 2 firsts with one being top 11 at least.





Why are port fans being told to take a 1st and a second?


**** this rigged competition.

It's really not worth following anymore. We are just fodder.

And a player without injury history ie could play for years
