Can’t wait for the w***er, Chris Davies, to come out again and say people have to stop trying to win trades, as we accept under again and pay overs.

Majority of supporters would be happy with that result.This is going to be an elaborately constructed ruse by the mastermind CD to show Dan we actually tried to get him back to Victoria, but now he’ll have to stick around and try again next year
North could use their future 1st to get pick 9 from Essendon for Houston.
So basically pick 9 for Houston.
Maybe we'd push for 9 and 25?
It's not ideal, but it's better than the Collingwood/Carlton options.
Edit: I'd prefer North deal pick 2 to Essendon for pick 9 and Essendon future 1 and then on-trade those Essendon picks to us. We get two first rounders, one being a top 10. Essendon then get pick 2 before Kakko and North get Houston for pick 2 and get to keep their future first.
Surely North isn't going to try and lowball us with just pick 9 if Dan agrees to go there.
They'd be desperate for a player of his quality actually wanting to go there. They can normally only get 32 year old former stars other clubs are ready to move on from.

Wouldn't really make sense. Why not just take the F1 and do our own trading to move into this draft if that's what we want.
North's is likely to be a top 4 pick, that's definitely a more than fair deal for Houston.
Diluting it by trading down to 9 this year is pointless.
Collingwood don’t even have 13 and 23
I Laugh reading some of these articles if there only offering pick nine and carton 12 or 14 and colingwood 13 id tell them all to gagf sorry dan there not serious and he stays
Because we want FRP in this draft
Sackings actually need to happen especially with our desperation to get a FRP in this draft after we traded the pick for depth players in last year's draft knowing that it would be a super draft.

North still need 25 or better though?

I suspect this will panic Collingwood / Carlton.

Now we're getting movement at the station.
Still plenty of time to play out.

North Melbourne are exploring the possibility of trading for Essendon’s pick nine in a potential deal that could blow the Dan Houston race wide open. The Kangaroos are among the clubs chasing Houston’s signature, along with Collingwood and Carlton, and continue to look for ways to force their way to the front of the queue, even if the Blues and Pies loom as his preferred destinations.
Western Bulldogs, who want strong draft compensation from Geelong for Bailey Smith, are considered unlikely to force their way in despite previously meeting with Houston.
Two list management sources, who were granted anonymity to speak about trade matters, told this masthead that North would be prepared to part with their future first-round pick to secure the Bombers’ No.9.
The Roos would then be able to use Essendon’s selection as a bargaining chip for Houston, given they are unwilling to part with pick two, according to a separate source, outside “splitting” it for extra first-round draft assets this year.
In the worst-case scenario, North Melbourne would retain two top-10 picks in a strong draft under this outcome.
The problem in all this would be that, apart from pick nine, the Bombers have only No.31 in this year’s draft. They could gain an extra selection if Jake Stringer agrees to be traded to Greater Western Sydney. Houston, an All-Australian the past two years, wants to return to Melbourne, but has not nominated a club and has four years left on his Port Adelaide contract.

I would take the second of these, but it feels like a long shot that Collingwood would be able to get that much off of gc, and be willing to offer it. I don’t think 9 alone is a high enough pick either. 9 and 25 at a stretch but even that’s unders. North still might be able to split pick 2 and give us a later first along with 9…
Should be asking north to trade for dons 9,
Trade pick 2 to Richmond for 6, 18 (after they get it from Freo)
Give us 9 and 18.
North get pick 6 to use on the kpp they want, and Houston who improves them out of sight, and nailing a player of his calibre signals to the afl world that they should be taken seriously now and are an option for players besides guys looking for games or a payday.
Richmond get pick 2 so they pick the first 2 talents in the draft.
Could even it up around with mid to late pick swaps
It’s so fair it’s amazing it hasn’t happened already, and it won’t happen, because why would they when there’s the potential to rip port off instead.
