News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Coming in peace,

Craig Cameron and Suns list management managed to sell a bunch of high quality assets for pennies on the dollar but you guys got ****ing fleeced in this trade.

I'm honestly outraged with you all. Deserved a kings ransom for Houston and got nothing. If we're giving up 6 and 29 for Rioli you guys deserved 2 top 10 picks.

I was so hoping we would just do the Lukosius deal separately.

Ignoring the fact that Collingwood robbed both of us, enjoy Lukosius.

If your coaching staff can get him to lift his effort in game to a full four quarters, he can be a real point of difference.

My gut feel is that the Suns were prepared to offer overs for Rioli because they knew they'd get a ransom out of the Houston mega deal.

 

[Us against the rest]

Wait for it, Port split 13 to something ****ing stupid.

 

[Macca19]

Dont worry guys, Collingwood will add “thankyou” to when we trade Bergman to them next year for 2 third rounders, due to all this goodwill

 

[Portology]

Speculation, partly born of the shock and revulsion of the moment, but the only rational reason I can see for us accepting such a poor trade is because we see Luko as a higher priority need up forward than anyone is prepared to say publicly.

 

[Burningleviathan]

We did this deal because we are afraid of his manager.

Are we really that scared over player manager threats?

He had three years left on his deal. You tell him to suck it up or his manager to strong arm the other clubs. I guess we couldn't do that though because we were dealing with Collingwood. What's he gonna say, no player will go to the pies?

We bent over for Hinkley's manager as well, didn't we. Unwarranted extensions and no COVID 6 mth payout like every other coach

What other possible reason is there to accept such a shitty deal?

We get strong armed because they are incapable of having a spine. One harsh word and we fold like a scared child.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Connor can go fcku himself

We spent a day with Connors to add pick 50 which Tom Morris said was already part of the deal?

 

[Capital Power]

Yeah, probably to present the new players at the Club.

In all seriousness though, given the football people signed off on this deal getting done, I have no faith in their ability to make any call on the senior coach irrespective of what I may or may not have been told in the last 4 months.

Actually I reckon it would be a good time for them to give him another 5 years. After today's performance, nobody would even notice, much less care.

 

[Young Gun #6]

Has been quite evident for at least the last 5 years, the club does not give a f#ck about the fans.

Is there a club in the league that is actually worse at making decisions with the fans (who fund the club) in mind at all?

From the Richo emails to members about premierships, to the lack of acknowledgment from the coach, assistants, board or media about anything the fans do. It's ****ing disgusting.

Fans blamed for everything, no accountability ever taken from anyone at a coaching or board level (or media).

They honestly don't know how appreciative they should be to come from the days of tarps to now.

We arguably get disrespected a whole lot more with this ****ed regime than we ever did with the tarps era.

Watch the vile campaigners just pat themselves on the back for this trade like they've had a win too. The same way they called making finals a success.

Putrid.

I'm sure our traitor Cardone was also in their ear

Our GM of Football was being headhunted to join Collingwood.

One of our appointed board members is an employee of a former Collingwood President (and was when McGuire was still Prez).

Collingwood end up with Perryman, Houston and convince Port that a 24yo fringe player with a handful of games under his belt is worth considerable trade value.

Just based on the smell and look of these potential conflicts, if the roles were reversed this would be a massive story.

Because it’s Port, literally nobody cares.

The only time Port are a story is if those mean, deluded, disgusting fans protest against Ken Hinkley’s 12 years of delivering nothing except record futility.

 

[Chizza12]

Wait for it, Port split 13 to something ****ing stupid.

Expecting this to happen and then we’ll hear how we’ve got 3 picks inside 30 in a super draft…

 

[PAFC66]

All off Luko, Rozee, Marshall, Atkins & Narkle could potentially be named in our 2025 Rd 1 lineup. FMD, this is the greatest quintet of piss ever assembled since the Spicegirls.

See it's not Ken's fault it's the list.

 

[Jojay]

For once I was happy with our Board, blocking the trade was the right call. Now less than 24 hours later I am back to angry with the board again.

The board didn't block $hit. That was a furphy

 

[PAFC66]

Absolute pus

 

[chachi11]

Im sure Paul Connors will look after us on the next trade...lol.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Yeah, probably to present the new players at the Club.

In all seriousness though, given the football people signed off on this deal getting done, I have no faith in their ability to make any call on the senior coach irrespective of what I may or may not have been told in the last 4 months.

Who gives a shit.

Until he’s sacked he’s still the coach

Doesn’t matter what the Chinese whispers say

 

[Marmozet]

Collingwood’s odds for the 2025 flag may have just dropped..

 

[Skindy]

We couldn't even get 23 from Gold Coast lmao. They preferred to add it to the already insane pick 6 for Rioli deal. We're a bunch of cowards.

 

[GoPorts]

Watch players start lining up to leave when they get a sniff of a better contact elsewhere given they know we are going to bend over to keep everyone happy.

 

[x_les_x]

There's more deals to be done. Hold the melts to the end of the trading. We don't have the list spots to take all the picks to the draft

father sons m8

I for one with Dan the best at the pies, will probably get a medal next year and another f u to hinkley and co. Good idea getting out of this current state of a shithole club

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Our luck we couldn't get the fully pleb gold coast..

We happen to get super duper mega switched on gold coast

 

[PAFC66]

The worst part about this trade is Dan is EXACTLY what Collingwood need next year. A running halfback, He'll get them into top 4 , Dan will win a flag , good on him.

 

[Spadge]

So we have a multi-year contracted reigning dual All Australian who wants out and multiple clubs want him
He also tells the club he is happy to stay at Port if a suitable deal cant be done

We are in a position to hold out for 2 first rounders (including a top 10) for him or tell everyone to get ****ed

Our football manager says we want a "better than good deal" to get this over the line and the tough talk begins.

Then we proceed to bend over and spread our arse cheeks and say "come on in.. dont worry about lubricant"

This club is well and truly cooked

Fits perfectly with our new function of running a child care centre
