North Melbourne any chance?

Carlton (sorry) and Collingwood aren't being serious.

Peter Rohde would have thrown his folder. ;)
North are out. Had the best picks on offer (F1 and were willing to split #2), and the best deal contract wise

….. but Dan just not interested.
 
Why is north future first seen as so much better than the other deals? They could easily spike up the ladder leaving us with a potential double figure pick next year. I think north has potential on their list to surprise. I think it’s risky dealing with future picks unless you were dealing with Richmond where it’s almost guaranteed they’ll be shit.

And this draft is meant to be strong too, so I’d rather take the guaranteed 13 now but Collingwood sure as hell need to sweeten up that deal a lot more than throwing in Richards.

If that's the case he can stay. What a joke that we'd even entertain anything else given his only reason as to wanting to leave was to go home in addition to having just signed a long term contract last year
 
Honestly Fcuk of Collingwood!!! They want to trade pick 13 + 9 gamer (Richards) for Houston

- If we trade a future first to GC to help them remove $2.5 million owed to Lukosius that would be the worst trade ever.
You owe us a pick for helping to clear the book for Rioli!



Collingwood, Essendon in the thick of trade action with interstate clubs​

By Michael Gleeson and Peter Ryan

October 9, 2024 — 8.20pm


Collingwood, Gold Coast and Port Adelaide remain at an impasse in discussions that would effectively be a three-way deal for Dan Houston to get to the Magpies – which is now his preferred destination – with John Noble and Joe Richards moving to the Suns and Power respectively.
According to sources familiar with discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, Collingwood have offered their future first-round pick and Noble to the Suns for picks 13 and 23, a deal the Suns have rejected.

Collingwood’s plan in securing pick 13 would be to tie it with Joe Richards in a deal with Port for Houston. They want to keep pick 23 to take to the draft.
The Power are unlikely to accept that deal for Houston. The Suns’ interest in negotiating with Collingwood is two-fold: They want to secure Noble, but they also want to provide Collingwood with draft capital to trade to Port for Houston.

Helping Port get a Houston trade completed would then clear the path for the Adelaide club to trade their future first-round pick to the Suns for Jack Lukosius. The AFL have told Port they won’t need special approval to trade their future first pick.
Lukosius is on a contract worth about $2.5 million over the next two years at the Suns – an amount the club is eager to move off their books – but would receive a longer-term contract on fewer dollars per year at the Power.

While there is still a week remaining in the trade window, the longer negotiations stall the more likely it is that Gold Coast open discussions with other clubs, including Carlton, over pick 13 or that North Melbourne, who have the draft capital to trade with Port, enters the negotiations for Houston.
 
I’m glad we added Dan to the leadership group this year, lol.

Pretty poor from him picking Collingwood, when all he is doing is chasing a bloody girlfriend, with 3 years to run on his contract. Feel like this exit is the worst one we’ve had in a while, the whole thing stinks.

North's future first seems perfect for a three way with GC who want to get more into next years draft and have R1 picks to burn this year.

North: F1 for Houston
GC: Luko,12 for NM F1
Port: Houston for Luko, 12

Some pick swaps or later picks to balance things out but that's a pretty good guts of a deal.
Why on earth we have to give first round pick for Luko ? . He is not even there best 22 player . Soldo compo or 3rd or 4th round will do the job . GC want to offload Luko as quick as possible because he is costing them million a year .
 
Remember last year Cripps and Davies slapping each other on the back and laughing on the live feed late on the last day of the trade period last year cause Geelong added a future 3rd and 4th to the deal very late?

I expect the exact same thing but with Collingwood adding pick 23 but with port adding 34 or some similar bullshit

The two best options I doubt port will do (Keep him or send him to north if he wants to go home) aren't happening
