News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[Kenny_Powers]

I swear this is Koch and Davies way of punishing us for booing dear leader Ken.

There was weight to that "bastards" reference in his speech

Thoughts?

 

[Us against the rest]

Without Houston we won't make the 8 next year and ken will surely go soo there's a positive



But then that'll be kens excuse and he'll probably get another 5 year deal

His boys love him so much so I would expect the would squeak into 8th position.

If the traitor goes to Collingwood for a packet of peanuts may the Nick Stevens karma bus hit him.

 

[PAFC66]

I think we should throw in a sweetener, Davies.

 

[Nelso]

Maybe a few of you should try your hand at list management. I don't think it's as easy as many of you make it out to be.

It is quite easy really.

Don't trade out your first round picks for "missing pieces" due to the poor development of your existing list.

Nick was sent to Baghdad (Carlton) and then jail.

I feel like it's our club copping the karma bus for that.

 

[OneGreatClub]

I would just hold Houston to his contract if no one offers 2 first round picks.

Yes

 

[Visenfest]

If the point of Ratkins is to avoid handing over a F1 due to taking on his salary, then all good. If not, feck right off. Give us a better sweetener or stop asking for the F1.

 

[Us against the rest]

Wow Collingwood put the lube back in the cupboard, this is worse than I thought possible. Here you go take this CD.

 

[chachi11]

Imagine if Houston wasn't contracted?
Lol this club.

 

[longdonkey]

I can't see anywhere that our F1 is mentioned in this deal. I'm presuming it isn't included.

Houston for 13, 29, Richards isn't enough, so if we're trying to avoid a F1 for Luko, it must be that we're taking the Ratkins salary dump. If that's the case, it can't be a F1, it just cant.

If the future first isn't included I could almost tolerate it, if Ratkins contract is only one year

 

[PAFC66]

Tim Ginever is a club mouthpiece now.
To sit there and say this isn't too bad of a deal on radio ? They're all ****ing idiots

Not saying he's a like-for-like replacement, but Lukosius can tear up games from hb and play forward. He'll be a better version of McKenzie for mine.

It's always coaching that's the weak link anyway.

It's bizarre isn't it.

You have to wonder if it's more than just homesickness to accept a rubbish deal like this.

Yep, it's either a sensible deal if we don't include our F1

Or it's the worst trade deal in our history if we do. Ratkins only possible value is as a salary dump.

Someone asked if it was a good deal and Timmy said a quiet no

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I can live with it if we keep our future first, cos in my head I'll say that we've traded taking on Atkins for a first rounder and that's a great deal.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

If you believe the reports, #13 this year is worth North Future first or Melbourne future first and second.

It makes our F1 being for Luko, Richards and filler picks.

Idk if that makes it a more fair trade overall.

 

[Brian McGee]

This deal becomes slightly acceptable if we get 23 from Gold Coast as well. Without that it’s awful.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Chewy316 they can't possibly do this deal including our F1st. We just can't. WTF.

 

[HugeJohnson]

So it's gonna be Houston and a future 1st
For Ratkins, Lukosius, Richards and 13??

Am I on magic mushrooms? Sounds like the kind of deal some nuffie would come up with on bigfooty

 

[longdonkey]

Yep, it's either a sensible deal if we don't include our F1

Or it's the worst trade deal in our history if we do. Ratkins only possible value is as a salary dump.

About the only player in the comp I'd want less than Ratkins at Port is Jake Stringer.

 

[El_Scorcho]

This deal becomes slightly acceptable if we get 23 from Gold Coast as well. Without that it’s awful.

When we were being offered Houston for 13+23+Richards as well as trading an F1 for Luko, both were bad deals that we apparently weren't anywhere near.

Now we're getting Ratkins and pushing the 23 back to 29 and it's apparently a deal we're willing to sign off on.

Is Davies seriously actually going to Collingwood after all and just giving them a huge present before he arrives?
