News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[PAFC Since 1870]

Not one bit surprised. This was always going to happen. The crap that’s going to be spun out of Cripps / Davies mouths is going to be interesting. Groundhog Day in regards to waiting for “Godfather deals”. Absolute joke

How I see it for us
Yuck

It's possibly gifting Collingwood a flag which does it for me

I just don't get Gold Coast.

Why the **** do they care about getting #13 to us with better offers for it?

With the Rioli trade in addition, why in ****'s name do they care more about ****ing other clubs over rather than looking after themselves?

Likely because just like us, they aren't run by people that want Gold Coast to have success. They are run by plants from clubs like Collingwood, just like we have Collingwood plants Davies and Cardone at Port. We are feeder clubs and that's all we exist to be.

Collingwood would've been holding Noble and Richards saying you won't get the deal done without working with us, to Port and GC

Be prepared though that trading in Rory is going to mean the end of another career to fill a list spot. Possibly that of Scully.

The list numbers are whack. Effectively no one has come off the list yet. Dont know how there will be room for any father sons. Is boak gone?

 

[OneGreatClub]

Relationship isn’t looking good.

Yeah well they ****ed us over by taking Perryman

 

[JUSTWORK]

Surely the Board step in and block this again, this is horrible.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

I’m saying it, this by far worst than last years dead awful rats and soldo trade period.

Possibly ports worst ever trade

 

[PAFC66]

Good start for Justin Leppitch

Boak will be taking an off field role with Collingwood

Time for Cripps / Davies and co to ****off back to Victoria

 

[Shane_Mag]

Weak Port weak.

 

[Capital Power]

So we took on two salary dumps from the SUNS and only had to pay a first rounder for the privilege? Bargain!

 

[Anyonebutken]

The deal didn't bloody change from last night!
It was incorrectly reported yesterday that pick 50 wasn't part of the deal, it was certainly part of the deal yesterday arvo based on who I spoke to. So I have absolutely no idea how the deal has changed.

Pick 50 will come in because of academy selections and what not, and I won't be surprised for them to package 50 and 36 for a pick in the 20s, but fücking hell this is massive under for a 2 time All-Australian and the fans have an absolute right to be irate.

Just watch them come out now and say that the draft pick value they got for Houston (13, 29 and 36) is equivalent to pick 3 or whatever the number is.

And FYI, the Board didn't get involved last night - that's a furphy.

Bad news all round really need this pick 13 to be a future gun and for Jack to realise his potential. Should of made collingwood pay up more since Dan was contracted. A bad day.
Hopefully we get some good news Thursday or Friday with you know whos future.

It's been signed off.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

It's been mentioned several times that we'll try to split #13 to Sydney for their late firsts too.

 

[El_Scorcho]

2 bloody years in a row we've pissed away a first round pick in a deal we're comfortably losing, and just for fun now we also lose one of our most valuable players.

I ****ing hate supporting this loser club

 

[PowerLil]

Well Chewy316 , they better sack Hinkley now because if it doesn't happen, I'm packing it in. I'll be at the AGM though to let them know too.

 

[abservd]

Holy hell. Not only is this the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, but our list management also come but looking like the most incompetent numpties. Imagine blowing up a trade over pick freakin 50! Sack the lot of them.

 

[johnnysix]

This sets an obscene precedent for players being able to hang us out to dry. If you can't turn a contracted 2xAA, who says he's happy to come back, into a decent draft hand wtf are you even doing? We swing so ****ing wildly from year to year with these missing pieces of the puzzle. Last year we made desperate moves to sure up our defence and this year we're doing the same for our forwards. We've lost it.

 

[Harlott]

There’s posters on here who I consider to be quite knowledgeable letting their egos get in the way suggesting the board are swayed by people on an internet forum.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Yep, all picks that are currently later than 18 and will be pushed back.

We've traded Houston for 1 late first and chaff. We're an absolute disgrace.

 

[PAFC66]

Bolton might go for 10 and 11 lol

 

[manureid]

So in the end we mad Leppitsch look like the godfather or trading. CD and Co basically said no Justin one day, then the next day let him rearrange their guts. It is actually quite impressive how incompetent we are as a football club.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

We'd have been in the running to trade for pick 2/3 if we undid the Esava/Soldo trade from last year lmao.

You idiots backed Ken hinkley for this.
