News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

Agree with all of that

I just wish there was something Joe Average could do to make a difference.

Whilst Koch is there, there’s no hope whatsoever

Joe average can walk out of games wen we are being thrashed. It's not good optics for the club or Afl.

Let's not forget that Farrell was out injured too. Having him back will solidify things. We also played pretty well against Freo and Hawthorn without Houston in the team so it's not like he's the be all and end all.

Obviously we're a worse team without him but half back flank is the easiest position on the ground to play. Just remember that we don't lose everything Houston gave us, we lose the difference between Houston and the next best player (that could be Sinn or Burton or whoever). It's a setback but the biggest problem with it by far is that we basically received nothing in return.

Half back is easiest position to get stats but it's not the easiest position to play.

There is no other player dare I say in the AFL that can read opposition structures and set up our attacks better than Houston.

Sydney and Geelong exposed us for this.

Boak and Gray at least do have multiple great finals games.

Rozee, Butters and JHF are literally sitting on zero good finals games. Zero! How there isn't a single one that they've played at an elite level is something.

Partly because Collingwood competently defend their players, just like they competently negotiate trades and competently advance the interests of their club.

We can only dream.

Adam Treloar and Brodie Grundy say hi.

We’ve been well and truly shafted
