News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[TazD]

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

$$$ cleared from their cap and they need points not picks for next year so that Norf F1 might be swallowed immediately in the Uwland bid.

hahaha they cant make this shit up if that happens shut up shop were cooked

Norf F1 is worth a shitload more.points than collingwoods, and gives the the ability to trade it for more points

 

[Better Loosen Up]

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.

Even if we don't, it's still a better deal.

 

[El_Scorcho]

If we are still giving our F1 this is perhaps the worst deal in the history of deals.

If we AREN'T giving up our F1, this is a great deal. I don't mind taking on Atkins as a salary dump if it means we keep our F1

Yeah but us taking Ratkins salary is in play here. Rowells contract looms.

 

[Alberton Proud]

What a team we're assembling

 

[DocSholl]

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

Suspect Houston told us he wouldn't come, and that's the only reason we would have done it

 

[Doctor Feel]

Ratkins is no sweetner. He's just there so we don't have to give extra via trading salary cap instead of picks. I'd like to see how this all goes before going nuts.

Best case is he's a salary dump so we don't pay as highly pick wise, while we get someone who props up the magpies. Could be worse.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Trade period has gone from boring to hype near instantly.

HYPE BIBS FAM !

Exactly the way I see it. Great trading if we keep future first.

In some sick sadistic way i kind of hope we get Ratkins and give up our F1 just to see the mutiny that unfolds (which i will be happy to lead by the way)

^This but it’s a big IF!

, 2 x future first-rounders, 39

 

[mando235]

How does Geelong taking on salary dump come with an actual decent player and a top 10 pick, yet for us it means giving up a future first and receiving another overpaid forward (Luko) as well as Ratkins.

Acquiring Ratkins should result in an NBA level waiving of a player and paying out their salary. Absolutely no interest of having him inside our club.

We better be keeping our future first!

 

[Duckimus Prime]

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.

Rory Atkins is not a sweetner. He's a negative.

He doesn't provide any depth at anything. The only reason we take him on is if we're taking a salary dump from GC in order to pay less ourselves. Or receive more back.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Marc McGowan has u giving up our future first.

Honestly **** this. Shambolic, shit club. Fold it

Dan Houston is edging ever closer to becoming a Magpie in a three-club deal, but there is still some haggling being done.

Negotiations are ongoing, but if this trade eventuates, it will look something like below:

Collingwood receives: Dan Houston, 58

Port Adelaide receives: Jack Lukosius, Joe Richards and Rory Atkins, 13, 29, 50

Gold Coast receives: John Noble, 2 x future first-rounders, 39

We lose our future first, **** sakes

So the rub of this is-

Houston for 13, Richards, and 29.
F1 for Luko, Ratkins and 50.

GTFO if accurate.

Fox: While the deal is still far from finalised, Port Adelaide would almost certainly emerge as the big winner from the dealing.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Ratkins really tips it in our favour I reckon
