I was told this morning that the asking price reported by Ralph is incorrect. Wasn't given the actual asking price though as this individual said it was a fluid situation and top many balls were in the air regarding the picks.
Which gives us an opportunity to take less if its all Collingwood are offering.
Then that's another failure for this football department this year.The way these things go is that we end up getting a little bit more than what we're currently being offered but not a lot more.
Why wouldn’t we just deal directly with North then for pick 2?Carlton trying to get #2 for #12 & #14
#12 & #14 for Dan.....
North Melbourne loom as the greater threat to the Magpies for Houston – particularly with Melbourne threatening to pinch Gold Coast’s pick 13 from under Collingwood’s nose – given they are willing to hand him a lucrative five-year contract, and could stump up the best offer of all the star defender’s suitors.
Because it feels like it’s what we have historically done.Why would we do that? We're under no obligation to release him from the remaining 3 years of his contract.

Ordinarily yes, but this time I feel like Collingwood and Carlton are so ridiculous maybe not.The way these things go is that we end up getting a little bit more than what we're currently being offered but not a lot more.
Saints Saints Saints!God I hope we end up trading him to North.

In a tunnel beneath a freshly deposited cowpat, two male Onthophagus dung beetles lock their elaborate horns for the right to mate with a female in a nearby nest chamber. But the winner of their physical contest is not assured of exclusive mating privileges.
In a side chamber lurks a third contender – a female look-alike, lacking the elaborate horns of his rivals. His strategy is very different: wait until they are strenuously engaged, then sneak in and mate with the receptive female.
True but maybe Carlton want pick 2 more than Houston.Why wouldn’t we just deal directly with North then for pick 2?
Ordinarily yes, but this time I feel like Collingwood and Carlton are so ridiculous maybe not.
Wingard is the only top 5 player we have traded out apart from Burgoyne. And I think we rolled over for less than he was worth there. Other than that we have traded out many players for a lot less than we were initially asking or thought that they were worth on here.Tell me when we've let a top 5 player on our list who we have openly stated is a required player go from the remaining three years of a contract.
I am going to throw this here first to gauge the amount of criticism I may get if I post this on X but:

Who loses in this deal?
In my view:
Richmond get fair compensation, 2 first rounders for Rioli is slightly overs but close enough
Pies can view it as getting 39 for Richards which is overs but they pay Noble, 36 and F1 for Houston which is close
Suns they can see it as F1 for Luko (slightly overs imo), Rioli for 6, Noble + 36 for 13 (which values Noble at pick 27 which maybe overs as well but offsets with Luko)
Port, I think we could actually even use pick 6 on a Tauru or use it to split say for Carlton's 12 and 14, or Essendon giving us 9 and a future first.
The biggest question is, are Richmond willing to give up their dream of pick 6 and make it 13 + F1
So is it under or overs?I was told this morning that the asking price reported by Ralph is incorrect. Wasn't given the actual asking price though as this individual said it was a fluid situation and top many balls were in the air regarding the picks.
Gold Coast wants a future first rounder
North wants Houston, North willing to trade future first rounder
Port wants first round picks this year.
Isn't this the most obvious and simplest path?
Have you guys noticed?
This has become a thread full of Port fans fantasising amongst yourselves.
No Carlton, North or Collingwood engaged posters;
1. Carlton want to invest in this draft,
2. Collingwood can’t even land 13,
3. Houston not interested in Port.
Looks like he’s staying in SA peeps.
