I'd still take pick 9 and 25 over 13, 23 and Richards. We can get Richards separately and in the process won't have to send Dan to the club that snubbed us of Perryman, the prison bars AND couldn't convince CD to leave which would've helped to advance change at PAFC quicker.

Deal with Norf, not with Cauliflower, thank you.

I agree 9 and 25 is better than the Richmond offer. I think between 9 and 13 we could lose a cpl of players off the board we might like.

DAN HOUSTON​

It's gotten complicated. Houston's options have narrowed down to either going to Collingwood or North Melbourne, or staying at Port Adelaide, where he is contracted for another four years. Ultimately Port will make the call dependent on if an offer comes through with strong enough draft outcomes in this year's pool to let the dual All-Australian go. Collingwood needs Gold Coast's pick 13 to have any hope of landing Houston but doesn't want to trade any other draft capital, as well as Joe Richards, to Port as part of the deal. The Pies have a six-year offer on the table for him. North also has a five-year deal for Houston and remains very keen. If the Roos can turn their future first-round pick into an early draft choice this year, which they have been working on for some time, they will get in the lead for the half-back. The Magpies are keen to tie Houston into the Richards move to Port, the John Noble trade to Gold Coast and the Jack Lukosius shift to the Power, but the clubs are also open to doing each deal independently of the other.

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.

Well heads need to roll if this deal goes pear shaped.
I can’t understand the confusion, it’s all very simple.
Dan being 2 time AA and a current AA tells anyone with half a brain knows that the starting price is two first round picks and no we don’t want the second one closer to 30 than 20.
That’s the minimum CD, your job is to try and squeeze out a player thrown in but don’t come home with less than 2 first rounders.
That’s basically the end of the conversation, have a good time and will see you when you’re back.
Hopefully this is the way it is.

Agree with everything you’ve said except I think we all know what’s going to happen. We’re going to accept some unfavorable deal at the last minute and come up with some ridiculous excuse that it’s a godfather deal or something similar as happened the last couple of trade periods.
 
So the two frontrunners have six and five year contracts on the table, yet one has virtually no draft capital and the other doesn't think he's worth their first. How does this work again?

I'm guessing we're seen as pushovers. Hopefully come the pointy end both will put on their adult pants and do it properly.

Well it seriously shouldn’t be a problem, everyone should be on the same page when it comes to Dan and what is acceptable.
You don’t have to be Einstein to work it out,if we fk this up the club is doomed for years.
They must have all had a pow wow and discussed what the requirements are.
They can’t be that stupid can they? 🤪

Well I’d be disappointed to say the least.
That would only enforce my long term view that no matter who’s coaching us with the people we have running things nothing will change.
We will never be successful if these trud heads can’t sort out a simple business deal like this.
Time will tell.

Starting to think this deal doesn't get done.

The valuation port has on Houston is much higher than the potential buyers valuations.

As things head towards deadline maybe that gap becomes smaller, but feel it is unlikely.

If it don’t get done I can live with that no problems.
Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something.

The only party that has valued Houston fairly so far is North Melbourne. Has why it comes down to how much Houston wants to go to Kangas. Is it really for his girlfriend or are there other reasons?

The valuation Collingwood are putting on him is basically the position if he was out of contract & nominated them and thus you are dealing with all they can rattle up. It's really a silly position to put ourselves in.

I don't even think North Melbourne's offer really interests us at the moment.

Realistically we want at least one top 15 pick in this year's draft, maybe two.

I don't think we really rate Norths future first rounder.

We do rate North's future first. There's 2 things at play here, one is Houston nominating North or at least giving them the green light. The second one is, to your point, yes we want a pick this draft if possible so both North and Port are trying to see if any other clubs would be interested in trading out. Freo, Richmond, Essendon are/were options.

Would Melbourne take 2 and North's F1 for 5&9? Would saints do that for 7&8? Would Freo give 11 and something for North's future 1st?

This is why I really think Pies are out because North want Houston and are willing to pay fair price, unlike Pies, for him.

I'm sure our recruiting department also has an eye on 2025 draft, North's F1 puts us in position 1A for Dyson Sharp.

*The potential buyers currency.

Only Carlton actually has the currency to do the deal with their 2x1sts. Just have decided to go draft not trade.

The Roos do, but they'll never trade 2 direct, so they still need to find a split somehow.

Collingwood just don't, to get an early pick they require GC to cave on a trade to get into the frame. Even then pick 13 is just not enough, but that's the lowest they can get to. If it was pick 8/9/10, I bet they would offer the same 8/9/10 pick with Richards which would be far more paletable.
 
What actually is the north offer? Everyone keeps saying how good it is but have they even offered anything yet?
