News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[Expat power]

He was also adamant up until his exit meeting in September 2024 that he was not requesting a trade to Victoria for 2025.

We were in the middle of a finals run if he'd said he was considering a move he would have been crucified. Once again, did the right thing and towed the line.

North are offering $250k more... what are you nuts Dan? Just frigging go to North.

There are a lot of payments outside the cap. Collingwood probably offering far better post football deals and behind the scenes opportunities.

Port - Lukosius, Atkins, Suns 13, Norths 25
North - Houston, Sun's 41
Suns - North F1, North F2, Port F2

Pretty simple really..

Suns get their future draft capital AND salary dump for backending Lukosius contract.

That's the fairest deal. Plus Port keep their future 1st.

North paying a 1st and 2 seconds overall for Houston.

If we're forced to take Atkins we need to be compensated for that.

Don't forget a premiership medal

Heard some stuff that doesn't paint Houston himself in a particularly good light. Ungrateful and entitled campaigner.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW ABOUT BECKY

Kanes just beginning his annual conditioning that Ports list is terrible and anything other than a bottom 6 result is amazing and purely the work of the genius in charge so he can ramp up the pressure on the board to keep Ken.

Top 10 will be Kens pass mark next year.

Genuienly would not have ever had an AFL career if it wasn't for Port too.

And in return has not only given us an unbelievably high quality 167 games, but has also allowed us to turn a rookie pick 45 in to multiple first rounders or Luko 9 years down the track.

Has paid us back 10 fold on any investment we made in him.

‘Without Houston, we have a bottom 4 list and Ken is just a wizard to be able to even get us remotely close to the top 8’

This is the hard part to understand.

The concept that we would actually trade out 58 for Ratkins is ludicrous.

Ratkins should be coming to us WITH a 2nd rounder or something

Which player managers get a bigger cut of.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

i tend to agree, this idea that we can't prop up another contender is a bit overstated, i just want the best deal and don't care where that is. Looks like North are prepared to offer us the best deal so far, but i think they will be a contender themselves in the not too distant future. And i'm not convinced Collingwood will be.

Its massively overstated on here.

Thinking that a Ken Hinkley coached Port and Collingwood are on some sort of level where we're more likely to win a flag than a Clahko coached Norf is fantasy.

THE PICK 13 MYTHOS CONTINUES

At this point someone is just gonna have to offer pick 12 or better if they want it.

Does this Paul Connors bloke think he is Ari Gold or what? His website bio sounds like it written by ChatGPT. Arrogant campaigner.

He looks like the worst kind of thick necked private school campaigner as well.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

So anything happening?

"Port Adelaide could easily finish bottom 6 next year" - Kane Cornes

I wish Keith Thomas didn't intervene when Primus wanted to turf Kane to Glenelg.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Even The Trade Whisperer thinks we were getting ripped off in that deal! How much more obvious could it be?

 

[240volt]

Are you suggesting that Dan Houston tells porkies?

Yes and the original Humphrey on NWS 9 was a girl.

 

[240volt]

Thank F*** Tredrea is on the board

Even a talk show host could see the deal was bs.

If that happens, it will mean that you're boy Kenny is GONEEEEEENAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Even Humphrey would have shouted "****, NO!"

Admittedly in a squeaky voice.

 

[n4nirvana]

the person who is responsible for this mess is Dan / management prioritising collingwood and carlton. If he hadnt given the middle finger to the demons we’d have pick 5 and a future 1 and the deal wouldve been done day 1 cos everyone was happy

There's still huge concern that we take a slightly better but still very poor deal. The deal was absolutely horrendous but it's clear Cripps and Davies don't think so. It'll be a stressful couple of days.

Good to know
