News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[Adz2332]

I'm taking Atkins every day of the week of we can keep our future 1st

 

[Chrizzt]

Peter Ryan has edited his tweet to remove reference to Port's F1 so maybe we are just getting the whole treasure chest for Houston alone?

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

I would hope Malcolm Rosas Jnr gets chucked in that deal. Then we are talking

 

[Chrizzt]

Why are we taking the rat? Makes literally zero sense.

Take his salary for one year off Gold Coast's books so they will trade 13 to us/the Pies instead of another club

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Yep, if this is even close to what the deal ends up being, so so so glad I cancelled my stupid membership to this stupid club. I've refrained from melting so far, but goddamn. Should be the end of Chris Davies and Jason Cripps

if we get 13, Lukosius, 29 and two nobodies for Houston and a future 1st. Literally should be the end of their careers in football.

treasure chest with a turd stuck to the bottom of it

 

[Rowd072]

As long as we keep future first....

 

[chachi11]

I'd assume we're just chewing up Rats and Lukosius salary and no longer giving a F1.

 

[2121]

**** I hate this club, why are we giving up a future first ontop of a top 3 player in our club.

 

[JUSTWORK]

if we keep our future first in that suggested deal, then it works. If we are giving that up, then its terrible.

Ralph is reporting we are giving up our future first also.

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

Look if we get luko, Richards, rat (LOL), 13, 29 and f3…. It isn’t THAT bad. It’s sort of rolling all three deals into one and keeping our F1.

 

[TazD]

Trade period has gone from boring to hype near instantly.

 

[tribey]

Overall it netted us Rozee and Butters too

Rozee was a series of flips involving North’s first for Polec/Pittard.

Butters was our natural first rounder for finishing 10th (pick #9), which was bumped down to pick #12 after the Tom Lynch FA-compensation, Tarryn Thomas Academy Pick, and Nick Blakey Academy Pick.

 

[Steve Dore]

The Capybara to Port?

This is a p!ss take surely.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

That is Jon 0/10 Ralph though

 

[PAFC66]

I'd assume we're just chewing up Rats and Lukosius salary and no longer giving a F1.

Makes sense given we kept space for the GWS free agents who never came

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I would have been happy to work with North.

Well we did try. You could have taken our future first which would be somewhere between picks 2 and 4 because let's face it, even if we somehow managed to double our wins next year, that's where our pick would land. That would put you firmly in the frame for Dyson Sharp or it could have gotten you a couple of early picks in this years draft with a trade. Seems a lot better than this deal.

 

[Windy Cindy]

John Cleese couldn't write a script where that absolute clown Ratkins could end up at Alberton.

If it does happen it's time burn the place to the ground and then get the biggest steam roller ever made to flatten anything still standing!

couldnt agree more. what a farking joke..

Got to make Dan happy.
We value work life balance before anything else.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

I can't comprehend how gold coast would accept this deal when Norf are offering their F1 for 13

 

[rainwizard39]

Ralph is reporting we are giving up our future first also.

This club is ****ed if we do this. Atkins is on good money because good ol’ Gold Coast overpaid him. Luko is on a million each year for the next two years. We give up one of our best 5 players and a future 1st, after the garbage 1st we traded last year, and all we get back is 13, Luko, and some garbage.

We’re taking on x2 salary dumps while giving a 1st for them and giving one of our best players to a contender for 13 and one of their scrubs.

I think you guys would have done some creative trading to make the deal even sweeter, Brady Rawlings sound very optimistic.

Given it is so late in the day, you might still have a chance to blow the house of cards over.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Rory Akins hahahahahahah

But Akins, Lukosious, Richards, 13, 29 and a F3 for assuming Houston and a future 1st. Idk how I feel

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We shouldn't be coughing up our F1 if we are taking Atkins on. We're not Orana FFS.

 

[Willsy10]

I might just wait and see before going troppo. Looks like Ratkins is thrown in as a sweetener, doesn't appear to be costing us anything, so not sure what the hysteria is about that part of it. Is it just because he is Ratkins? Provides a bit of depth to a position we are losing an AA player.
