Whose talks? Some big footy nuffs?
Just Cal Twomey, Riley Beveridge, Mitch Cleary who've mentioned it
You've just gone some undervaluation to severe overvaluation. Dan Houston for pick 2, fair deal and everyone moves on. Yes he could be get another 2 AA and be a B&F winner at his next club but that doesnt mean we are gonna get pick 2 and possibly pick 2-6 for him next year too.
Yep
Its probably why he was non-committal on the value we are placing on Houston. So he can get him for unders on the other side.
Pick #2 is worth so much more than Houston it isn't funny. This is crazy talk. A 14-16 year near guaranteed gun, for a gun player with maybe 5-6 years left, and a couple before the decline. Theres just no way that balances.
I can't see Houston nominating a club that can't get the deal done. Collingwood only have pick 33.
Maybe Future 1st, Richards & a swap of later picks?
As far as I understand, we want a pick this year. Don't get that and I can't see a deal happening.
Except what you're missing out is this draft, while it is even and deep, doesn't have players like JHF and Daicos in it. After watching a ton of CTL, National Championships, SANFL u18s games and some VFL and WAFL vision, there literally is no one in the ilk of JHF, Daicos and Reid. Hence why there's a genuine confusion as to who's no.1. There's a good chance, greater than its been in the last 5 years at least, that the kid you pick at pick 2 could be just as good in raw terms as the kid you pick at 10 or perhaps even 15. Its all relative, and if Port were to give a F1 back to North for getting 2 and whatever in this draft that would be short of Houston's valuation in this market.
It kind of baffled me too but it seems the concept is that Richmond will pay all of Riolis salary during his time at the Suns. So the Tigers are basically buying pick 6, and the Suns are expanding their salary cap.
I can only see Dan nomonating the Pies if Port get Perryman.
If Dan nominated Collingwood, that would signify to me he doesn't really want to leave Port.
Yeah well there you go. There has to be something more to it than just trading Rioli for 6, the other posters inference was that Rioli was worth 6 so Houston is worth more. But Rioli isn't worth 6, never will be, never has been. But 100's of 1000's of $ in the salary cap, might be to GC. Else they'll be pushing as I said for 2025 draft picks.
So you think we should give up Houston and a future first for pick 2? Absolutely not. That would be one of the worst trades we've ever done.
It’s not guaranteed, or near, it’s potentially a gun.
If GC want more than a future 2nd for Luko, we say that we're not paying his salary dump.
Exactly, they can wear 300k or so
Make it a future second at most, not a future first (because GC are dumping his salary, just like Bowes a few years back) and then forget adding 12 in as part of the Houston deal.
