Houston isn't desperate to move, he's already said he is happy to stay if a deal can't be done.

Personally if North offer a 1st rounder (this or next year, doesn't matter), I'd take it over whatever Carlton probs offer.

It's not about us though. Of course we are pushing Carlton hard because we want to trade with North, but at the end of the day if the player hears a reasonable offer is on the table, from Carlton where he wants to go, and we dont accept it that will create a headache of its own.

Current and future first from Carlton get the job done.

The concept of shuffling up a few spots with a North pick is far more desirable to us though.

Dan has certainly played his last game for the club, it’s now just about getting the optics right so that members & supporters don’t feel duped in what’s likely to be a less than favourable trade.

There's enough doubt here that you can't say certainly. You're right it is still the most likely scenario, but it will require Carlton to click and go hard for him or Houston to make that call to just go to North, which whilst he's desperate to get to Vic still might not be enough motivation to join the worst club in the land. So I could easily see him back here next year at the moment.

Especially with the ridiculous trades being talked about for Noble, Rioli and Bolton. If any of those are even remotely close to what Richmond and Collingwood get for those players, then it puts our asking price at a very high mark for Carlton to meet.

Because we were realistic and did what was right. Port need to be the same.

Having 1 year on a contract (JHF) vs having 3 years on a contract (Houston), they are not comparable with bargaining power. Port have always looked after players leaving & dealt fairly. This will be the same providing the deal is right. Not sure what you are whining about anyway, a better deal for Port would be for him to go to North
 
How did this become about Jason Horne-Francis? His scenario has nothing to do with what we get for Houston. Stay on topic.

Clicked on the North posters profile & checked his latest postings - it's all about JHF. Just another hater that can't move on with life

What we pursue for Houston has nothing to do with JHF and we don't need to justify it.

In the words of Ronnie in Moonstruck “I ain't no freakin' monument to justice!" ;)

I get the impression in that circumstance Port would say it's up to Carlton to turn those 2 second round picks into a first round pick

If it was the right 2nd round picks sure, but they wouldn’t be.

Carlton have 31 and a future 2nd round, 31 will blow out to 33/34 after compo picks and their future 2nd could be even later. No team would trade even pick 18 for those unless it was for points and even then they would likely get better offers. For instance we traded our future 1st for 25 and another second rounder (and that was a shit deal). Those picks that bought our first are better than what Carlton has to deal with.
 
What would they be saying Dan Houston is worth it he played for Richmond instead of Port.

He's not the greatest player in the history of the game. This is just crazy talk.

Yeah crazy talk; why would Dan wish to play for North where players swapping teams seek out Clubs that play in finals.

Lol the Suns pick 12 now 13 as Saints are gifted a first round pick by the AFL.

We better be telling Carlton we want 11 (plus next year's first)

Honestly don’t see why Collingwood are getting involved

They have no first round draft pick this year, meaning to get Pick 13 they would have to give their future first. Port have described Carlton’s offer of 13 and owies delusional, so idk why Collingwood thinking getting pick 13 gets them closer to Houston.

Unless they trade someone else to get another first rounder they don’t have any chance
 
I think if you were taking Carlton’s first this year (12) and next years first, I’d hold to the end - and get out a depth player like Motlop too

Will be interesting to see if st kilda come knocking again now that they have pick 8 as well.

Yes, that was there original plan, maybe a bundle if Solda get his wish where I can't see the Saint giving up 26 for Ivan..
But maybe we could ask for 8, 26 & 45 and in return give up Dan, Solda & 56
 
Houston, Soldo <-> St Kilda pick 8, 26, future 2nd

future 2nd, future 3rd to GC for Lukosius

8 and 26 to the draft

Trainor and Dodson?
