News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[Jojay]

 

[Young Gun #6]

Collingwood: A+
GC: Went from D- to B- by getting us involved in the 3 way
Port: F

 

[Capital Power]

In what bizarro world does this cluster**** rate a C-?

 

[Gryllis]

Awful deal. One of the worst I've ever seen. I just don't get the Ratkins dump - we lose more by doing that.

Amazing trade for Collingwood. I wish our list team was more like them.

 

[Capital Power]

Given our starting position was believed to be two firsts, to get one pick at what will turn out to be around 16 and a couple of reserves players is close to about half of what we should have gotten...

 

[Jonts]

Player managers , rule the trades and clubs are shit scared to take them on, as you will get royally screwed at some stage in the future. Watch Bulldogs get done over by Geelong with the Smith trade, they wont dare force him to psd because of what could happen later.

How is what's going to happen later literally what happened to port right now?

 

[Peninsula Boy]

No it really wasn't. Dan Houston missing was the biggest factor in Geelong and Sydney creating a massive amount of turn overs when we won the ball.
Sydney scored almost their entire score off of turnovers. After Port had won the ball. And we've just traded out our best ball user for shit.

I would go coaching first and then midfield problems second. Shout out TeeKray.

In the Sydney game, 8 of the more obvious goals were 4 to Boak, 2 to Burton IIRC and 2 with Rat's man running off him. Not really our defensive players but duds who shouldn't be playing in the team. Burton is a defender but not accountable, I know.

as the worst Trade Manager in the history of the AFL. But we've ended up making him look like a mastermind. Shame on this club. I am done with them

 

[Pappagallo]

This deal to me is basically a contracted Houston for a contracted Luko and swap our F1 for 13 and 29.

Different players but at least Luko is a good kick, not as good as Dan but above average.

The rest is all steak knives stuff. Richards and Atkins wont do much.

Luko is 3 years younger than Houston. 2018 v 2015 draftees. Dan has had 2 big season All Oz and 2022 was 3rd in our B&F. Need Luko to deliver what Dan has in the last 3 years over the next 3, to break even.

Balancing that equation you’d cancel out 13 and F1 leaving us with Houston = Luko + 29, which is absolute piss considering the “position of strength” we were supposedly in.

Hope Dan goes the way of Polec now (he won’t but wouldn’t it be great if he did).

I tried to get on 5aa and reception weren't interested as they asked if I was calling to complain about the Houston trade and that they have too many and they want some positive callers.

 

[jackag24]

So flat with this.

The least we could have done is keep our pick 39 and 50

Or get a better steak knives player than Ratkins..

 

[JUSTWORK]

They are unbelievably weak.

How about just tell Houston it’s North of nothing.

 

[Skindy]

WE DID NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT YOU MUPPETS, HE WAS CONTRACTED FOR 4 MORE YEARS

 

[jackag24]

I feel legitimately queasy at the thought of Rory Atkins

in a port Guernsey.

It's really soured the whole thing.

The deal would have been unironically better without him.

He's like addition via subtraction

 

[PAFC66]

Why would we cave because of that?

 

[RossFC]

I am looking forward to seeing how the club spin this disaster.

We have to factor in that Houston is suspended for Round 1. So his value drops a fair bit.

Just tell them you’re in support of the deal, then go to town when you get on air

It's the fact Houston will make Collingwood a top 4 side annoys me. Atkins won't play a game.

Oh you innocent little darling you never tell them the real reason you are on the blower.

 

[OneGreatClub]

No wonder Port don’t want to have the presser until Thursday. Need to work out how to spin this shit show.

Both of those things annoy me
