News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[Black 18]

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

So??

 

[Chrizzt]

It has to be were taking on less of Luko's salary

Then why is Atkins thrown in? He could only be there as part of a salary dump

 

[PAFC66]

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

Cripps and Davies should be split

 

[Alberton Proud]

You'd hope we have something in the pipeline to bundle those picks into a first rounder. Otherwise I'm done.

Just said the same thing here

Got to be more in this

 

[Chewy316]

I'm convinced it would've been contract stuff in the background, who is liable for what payments, that is what held it up.

Salary cap impacts, etc.

Not at all. Because Port were taking on all of Lukosius' money and all of Atkins' money as well.

 

[Capital Power]

Wasn't one of the earlier suggestions that we get Richards, 13 and 23 for Dan, and that was laughed off the page? We've managed to turn that into Richards, 13 and 29. Another one of the Club's enormous successes in 2024...

 

[chachi11]

That's better....good job Port, you showed em!!

 

[PortVic]

You can GUARANTEE that Houston and Connors chucked a MASSIVE hissy fit.

Yep. So the club settling for this, just shows he was never gonna be happy returning in 2025.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Ohh Chris Davies you are a

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Did we GET anything for Atkins?

Did Gold Coast really tell us, our F1 isn't enough and that we needed to help them with salary cap relief?

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Imagine we draft our next premiership captain with that pick 50 though

 

[JUSTWORK]

So last night it wasn’t good enough, but with pick 50 is.

Why are we giving up Houston for under’s?
Why are we taking Atkins and his salary whilst also giving up a first rounder.

This is by far the worst trade deal in the clubs history, absolutely embarrassing. We are getting screwed over massively.

 

[tribey]

Then why is Atkins thrown in? He could only be there as part of a salary dump

Yeah, that would’ve been pivotal to making everything line up.

I just can’t see the reward for doing that on behalf of both the Suns and Pies.

 

[DazzaTys]

phew, that pick 50 really did make the shafting we got less painful. F$$king train wreck of a club.

 

[Jonts]

What the actual ****.
What a weak club. Hahaha

 

[Abraham Nuscrack]

I don't think we are done & some of these picks will get traded

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

at least we have a good relationship with Paul Connors, that’s all that matters. Here at port Adelaide we exist to make him happy

 

[Sneeky]

Why are we taking on Luko and Rat's salaries and not getting anything in return....

 

[PAFC66]

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.

No chance he gets sacked now.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Did we GET anything for Atkins?

Did Gold Coast really tell us, our F1 isn't enough and that we needed to help them with salary cap relief?

The LOLs

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Cripps and Davies better speak publicly asap. What a disgrace

What can they possibly say? What?

 

[TredreaWilbur]

Burn it all to the ground. Salt the earth.

 

[Jojay]

Lol, we're a laughing stock

 

[Ported]

I mean, who cares if they blew up a trade over pick 50. Good on them for holding out for slightly better. They shouldn't care how they're viewed by other team supporters, haggling over a nothing pick.

Doesn't excuse doing the deal in the first place though.

 

[Us against the rest]

Port in - Luko, Richards, Atkins 13, 29, 36, 50

The cost - Houston, F1, 39, 58.

This reads to me as Collingwood gave us 13 + 29 for Dan lol.
2025 F1 for Luko + Atkins.
The 39, 58 to 36, 50 cancel each other out really.

A polished turd from last night.
