News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[rogerjames]

Definitely agree. As leaky as a sieve.

It's called conditioning

 

[Addy23]

They hate next year's draft. 7 of the top 18 players apparently are academy or F/S selections, and it's no where near as strong in terms of depth.

They're still not sure whether they're going to accept the deal - but it's trending that way.

Port have been fücked over by Paul Connors and the political feud between Gold Coast and Richmond.

Port internally do hate the draft, but I don't agree with that take.

If we can't get 2 decent picks in this draft, you stay out of it, take North's future first and go all in on Sharp. How people sit inside the club and think he won't be worth it is beyond me.

 

[rogerjames]

Hi contact is clearly Rob Snowden

I recall Chewy posting it wasn't a board member? (Maybe my recall is wrong)

 

[rogerjames]

Yeah I know, just sounds like someone has been in his ear and you know how piss week we can be when it comes to giving in.
Let’s just try and be calm till we see what the final deal is.
I can’t see Port being this stupid, maybe it’s like what politicians do, let leak there planning to do something then people get upset about it then they release a slightly better plan and people accept it because it’s not as bad as they first thought.
Sneaky

As I said before we are being conditioned.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

How the **** did we go from demanding two first rounders to Rory ****ing Atkins?

Please stop dealing with Collingwood. Walk Joe Richards through the PSD. If we are taking on all of Lukosius' contract then pay GC a price in draft capital that reflects this.

It's not rocket science, **** me.

 

[Brian McGee]

This deal will get done tomorrow in a revised form where we get pick 23 instead of 29 or something similar. Gold Coast take a little extra hit on behalf of Collingwood and we make it look like we were strong, but it will still be a shit show of a trade for us. Too much work has gone into it to get it to that point to just totally blow it up and start from scratch.

 

[Chachi]

Well let’s just wait and see what they actually do. It seems they’ve finally woken up to the Collingwood tactic of using the media to strong arm deals.

steak knives in the deal or was he a salary dump to sweeten the deal for gold coast? Surely it has to be a salary cap dump. The deal is fairer without him in the trade.

 

[PowerLil]

Why Lil? Keep him. If we truly want to get back into this draft, they create other avenues to get back in other than trading Dan unless NM gives a great deal.

They can all go around Ivan's house for a piss and moan session for all I care.

Pretty much this KrispyKremeMullanikka
"Houston camp furious." Wow. Find me a Port supporter who gives a sh*t.

 

[philthy05]

lol if Richmond get pick 14 for baker while we’re arguing for crumbs on top of pick 13 for Dan.

What a cooked league this is.

 

[rogerjames]

I’m still expecting a bad outcome from this

Just slightly less bad

 

[rogerjames]

Cooked or crooked

 

[stewie griffen]

This is all collingwood leaking to try and force movement

 

[rogerjames]

You might be right, was just looking on the Collingwood board and they believe all Port want is an extra late round pick.
Any other club I’d say BS but with us?

Yep. Houston will get to Collingwood & the deal will be slightly better is my expectation

 

[SC_Power]

lol if Richmond get pick 14 for baker while we’re arguing for crumbs on top of pick 13 for Dan.

And in this flawed system the AFL run, Josh Battle is “worth” Pick 8.

 

[Kenny_Powers]

I've backed Dan throughout this, telling people he's put us in as decent a trade position as he could've. But if what's being reported is true that he wants Collingwood & not North, and his camp is "furious" the deal fell over, he's quickly becoming enemy numero uno for me.

The Pies are behaving as smarmy and arrogantly as expected, screw em, like many have said here, Dan mate, you're contracted for another 3 years, unless you work with us and entertain North, we can revisit this in 12 months, see you in Feb.

Collingwood don't have the capital to get this deal done. Carlton don't want him.

North are the only option and if he doesn't want to play for North he is accepting he is a Port Adelaide player next year.

Stop dealing with Collingwood.

Get the Luko deal done separately - if getting Ratkins lowers the price of Luko in all for it.

Richards is a third rounder, any more than that then PSD.

Collingwood can go **** themselves.

Yes, I don't have much sympathy for players who sign a long term contract then want to back out with three years left. If you sign a deal you should honour it. If you are not prepared to honour the contract why sign it in the first place?

 

[MALTSY]

Dang we are a fickle and gullible bunch. One flakey report that the Houston camp is unhappy and we all turn on him. This is a media beat up fuelled by their desire to see him land at Carlton or Collingwood.
My guess is that we are after a top 6 pick and another in the teens.

 

[Jojay]

Power reject seven-pick, five-player trade that would have ended star’s ‘sleepless nights’

Twist as star left in limbo after Power reject seven-pick, five-player trade

So Dan's having sleepless nights and the Malbun media say he will still get to collingwood. Starting to really dislike Dan atm

It is definitely what he is worth to part with.

Yep people like Jon Ralph are literally just given a script by Collingwood then fill in the blanks with their own imaginations.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Also I think its absolutely clear at this point that Collingwood don't have the capital.

Every minute wasted talking to them is a minute that we could be talking to a serious club.
