If it's just 11 for Houston yeah massive loss.
We should be furious at Houston not Carlton if he's not allowing us to work with anyone else...
Why else would the club be furious

Because Carlton aren't trading in good faith and are wasting everyone's time.

Dan has no cards to play in this hand.

Still years on his contract, so if he walks out on the club, he won't play anywhere for years.

It's 100% on Port to play tough here and hold their ground. If so, I'm sure Dan can get to a good destination., and we'll be properly compensated.

Port Adelaide fuming at perceived Carlton arrogance in early Dan Houston trade negotiations​

By Sam Edmund

Port Adelaide is refusing to deal with Carlton over Dan Houston, with the Power angry at what they perceive to be Blues arrogance in early negotiations.

In talks between the clubs fed through Houston’s management, Carlton has stated it intends to keep its pick 11 for this year’s draft while trading a future first round selection to a third club.

The Blues then want to send that third club’s first rounder to the Power, with uncontracted goal-sneak Matt Owies also raised in Houston trade discussions.

But Port powerbrokers say that is delusional when it comes to a 27-year-old two-time All-Australian who is contracted for three more years.

It’s understood Melbourne was happy to trade to first round picks to secure Houston before the Demons were engulfed in their latest crisis.

Yet the interest in Houston remains strong among rival clubs. Sources said North Melbourne was set to launch a major bid to bring Houston to Arden Street, with Alastair Clarkson playing a typically hands-on role.

Ultimately, Port Adelaide is highly unlikely to sanction Houston’s release for anything other than a strong return given it doesn’t own a first-round pick in one of the best drafts in years.

The fact Port have missed lost out to Adelaide for Isaac Cumming and are set to lose to Collingwood for Harry Perryman also complicates matters.

This isn’t viewed as an Alex Neale-Bullen situation given Houston’s motivation for moving to a Melbourne-based club is largely motivated by a Melbourne-based girlfriend. He has also stated his love for Port Adelaide and his teammates.

But if Houston is steadfast on getting to Carlton given his friendship with Jack Silvagni and working relationship with Michael Voss, there is a lot of work to do.
 
Let’s get Melbourne back into the conversation. They are prepared to meet our demands. Make it happen.

Either that or deal with North and try to get their pick 2 and F1 for Houston and a couple of 2nd rounders.😏

Dan should seriously reconsider melb. The player exodus never happened, they’re willing to deal with port. If anything I think they would be all the more willing now to try to appease their core and chase another cup rather than blowing it up.


Pick 5 and a future 1st is appealing. It’s a trade that can get done.
 
I know people will say we are being hypocrites seeing as though we got JHF in contract but that was a contract that he had no choice in, was drafted to a club he never wanted to be at, and was a homesick 18 year old.

Houston has been here 8 years, played 167 games and signed a long term deal that still has 3 years to go. Has always said how much he loves the club and he is playing the best footy of his career as a dual AA of the last 2 years.

There has not been one legitimate reason given for him wanting to break that contract. It makes no sense. I would 100% be digging our heels in with this one. Why should we just let him leave for unders?

Couldn’t see us getting a future first along with pick 5… could be more like the 25 they would get for Neal bullen.
 
You don't want to offer this year's first round? Oh ok.
Click.
Beep beep beep.

Just use the Dodoro method and leave it until the last 10 minutes of the last day.
