NOW I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT HIS GIRLFRIEND EVEN HARDER

BLOODY WOMEN!!

 

[Visenfest]

Happy for us to be the bad guy if it means teams don’t try to screw us over in future trade periods. If Dan wants to be in Victoria enough, Arden St will be fine.

Trade radio saying that the deal was done but it was then over ruled by our board.

I think they are using the term “board” loosely. Snowden and Tredrea are board members who sit on the football department committee. This group would have to sign off on all player movements, contracts etc.

The proposed deal was likely shot down at this level and, with two active board members on the committee, it’s being exaggerated to “the board said no”.

Ha ha, Cooney saying the club read BF lol
He also said how did that trade even get to the board. Doesn't say much for Cripps and CD

Sounds like Cooney is reading Big Footy

to elaborate they said the board overruled it because of fan backlash.

Wasn't Campbell Brown offered as part of the Shaun Burgoyne, to start with, and this was knocked on the head by the board after fan backlash.

Starting to think that the Atkins part of the trade was actually our list managers wanting steak knives for our f1 instead of a salary dump. It feels like they actually wanted him and see his acquisition as a positive.

If we want something extra because we are giving up a F1 we should be asking for Rosas

Atkins is a spud, the only way we should consider taking him is if we get Luko for a F4

yeah I'm stating what was said, and its a good thing no matter how that debacle of a trade got stopped.

I still can't understand how the fck someone thought a 30yr old would make this deal work
And a shit 30 yr old makes it worse

I still can't believe this actually might have been offered as Steak Knives. The whole time, I thought this was a Salary Dump and we were doing Gold Ciast a favour but when I saw that we were still offering the future first, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Just wow...

I think the Collingwood part of the deal was alright , it was the Gold Coast part was the problem , either take some of Lukos wage or make a better offer than Ratkins as the sweetener

Who's betting that this post was the “source” behind “the board vetoed the Houston deal”?

 

[longdonkey]

People saying that Carlton are going to the draft, I still have a feeling Houston may end up there, pushing Collingwood might end up being a way to get Dan to the Blues.
Not sure if still can work but I've always thought Carlton would be where he ended up.

Not going to happen. The time is right to say to Houston if you want to go this year North is the only chance, Come back and play another season and we will try and get a deal done next year.

I get a lot of enjoyment out of this board, and a mental release by venting frustrations about the club, but I find the idea that we're influencing list management decisions fanciful to say the least. Just my uninformed opinion.

Disagree completely. Collingwood were getting one of the league's elite players for a pick in the teens and chaff.

Collingwood were giving a pick in the teens, a fringe player, a VFL player and a 3rd rounder.

They were getting a guy who has been AA the last 2 years with 3 years on his deal.

Imagine if we were able to trade away pick a pick in the teens, Burton, McEntee and a 3rd rounder and get, say, Errol Gulden. That's the sort of trade we're talking about here.

Nope, baseball too

Wow. Didn't even know. Oakland is farked.

 

[Expat power]

At least his kids are fairly ordinary, so we won't be inheriting another generation of Cornes flogs!

Reckon we keep people’s kids out the sh*t slinging.

north trade f1 to GC for 13

North trade pick 2 to Richmond for 10 and 14

Dan Houston to North for 13 and 14

Easy deal

North end up with pick 10 and Houston - losing a future pick and a downgraded first pick this year

Port end up with 13 and 14- just losing Houston

Don't mind that

Could we then package these two up and get into the top 5 ?

 

[rogerjames]

Yeah, it would be much better going to St. Kilda, or North, or Freo, or Gold Coast, or Carlton, or Essendon, or Adelaide, or Western Bulldogs, or GWS

Can't include WB & GWS. It is likely that Carlton will be in a GF b4 us too.

Relationship isn’t looking good.

Maybe they should change their name to Calvinwood

Bigfooty, and especially this board in relation to Port, is where a lot of ideas that spread widely kick off. Most of the hot takes on twitter that get shared around are fostered by opinions shared on this board and the media types like Kornes and Ralph actively scope bigfooty boards out for info and to gauge opinion. Kornes regularly actively trolls against the specific prevailing opinions on this board for engagement, and he's very successful doing so.

Individually posters on this board don't have influence, but us going absolutely nuts in here yesterday spilled out onto other social media and potentially influenced the board's decision to block the trade. The tweets getting shared around about how bad the trade was were full of bigfooty Port board members.

The AFL industry and the media surrounding it isn't that big and literally all of them are reading bigfooty. Our influence isn't massive but we absolutely have the ability to drive public opinion and perceived public opinion.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Tbh make 29>23 and change our F1 to our F2, then deal gets closer (maybe Collingwood give Gold Coast a F2)

Collingwood supporters - Noble is worth a pick in the 20s, Richards is worth a pick in the 30s. We're giving up an F1 and 36 - We've come to the table!!!11!1!!1!!

 

[Sewer de Lance]

IMHO Dan’s a better footballer than Rozee & only sits behind JHF & Butters when it comes to pure talent & class. Thank heavens the board shot the deal down, get him to the Roos & be done with it.

It's not exaggerating at all to say that this board put Warren Tredrea on the actual board. We literally put someone on the board and by extension on the football committee who has created a greater level of accountability at the club. The extent to which that is and what decisions it impacts is of course hard to measure but it's absolutely greater than zero impact.

I’m not sure I’m that thrilled with what the Roos were offering. They could drastically improve next year with Parker and Houston coming in so that Future first may not be that early.

I’d much rather we try leverage pick 2 from them or keep Houston.
