[T2B_]

Phenomenal, mate. Go Pies!

He was a little fortunate Port rolled over easier than a cheap hooker but yes Pies won't be complaining.

LOL Port held on for.... Nothing additional. Quality work Port.

So Port literally dragged this out another day for absolutely no reason? FMD

 

[Chism]

Well done Pies and good get.

Kane Cornes tears are going to be delicious tomorrow morning at 6am onwards after what he said today!

The player always gets their way. Regardless of the tough talk from Port, they never said North or Us and took ALOT less from the Pies.

Aways works out the same way.

For all the understandable ROFL-copters being had at Port's expense, one does have to feel for the fans though. They get nothing but shaftings by their own club and seemingly completely ignored..

Kane Cornes tears the one thing that brings together supporters from all walks of life.

Port board stopped it last night as it was less than they really wanted from the trade and thought they will try to hook up a deal with North. North today saying no, not enough time now and that fell through so Port had to go back to the negotiating table and have essentially taken the same deal in the end as they knew it was going to be awkward keeping Houston after his head was turned and a move to Melbourne was there in front of him.

 

[RonnieRaven]

Port paid a f1 to take on two salary cap dumps. To be fair one might be a reasonable player but not on the current years + $$$ Port will be paying him. Luko is on ~1m a year for whatever is left of his deal.

But it’s only 2 years
Port sign him for 6 and can spread money
Try Bolton who was paid top 5 in 2024 and he has 4 years left and is 2 years older so can’t spread the contract unless you sign him in to his 30s

 

[ABAB]

Luko is a 7 year contract too, apparently. So they can smooth out the $2m he was going to get over the next 2 years.

So Port has become the new cap dumping ground apparently.

Smooth out? Reportedly the other 5 years they offered him are at $950K after missing out on Perryman who they offered 6 years at $850K.

Port board not the sharpest knives...

 

[perplexed]

I know it's funny to laugh at Port because of their ridiculous bluster. And it is funny.

But, GC do way worse than them out of this. Collingwood didn't have enough collateral to get the deal across the line and GC have stepped in and made up the difference. Absurd.

Who cares anymore, the club certainly doesn't. Will switch my allegiances to Tas and/or GWS

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Collingwood with big additions in Houston and Perryman. They will look good next season

If you are competing against North for a player there is never a need to worry. We just stuck to our guns.

Call up mate and give it to flog Kornes! and i hope Lyon is on as well as he was steadfast on Port not doing a deal with the Pies!

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Maybe he should ask to go to Essendon so he can visit that SPECIAL Milk Bar to get that extra edge.
BTW How’s that working out for your club.

huh?

We aren't even going for him? Dunno why you are bringing Essendon into it.

Port have to also take on Lukoscouis or whatever his name is absurd contract now and money. Suns salary dumped him and Port said ok!

Anyway. Guess the good news is there will be no more Carlton supporters in this thread stinking it up.

GCS had a VFL player only hurting their cap, and a good but not great player on crazy top 50 money in the comp for the next 2 years.

That they were able to clear them when only a couple of years ago they had to give away pick 7 to clear up salary cap shows they have learned a lot.

They are paying overs for Noble but they still need to recruit players who want to be there while their academy kids develop.

GCS could have done FAR worse.

Port are massive losers in this.

Port just got done by the classic BF spud+spud+spud = gun trade.

How's selling your future only to finish 9th again in 2025 feel?

How's selling your future only to finish 9th again in 2025 feel?

I don't know you tell us how finishing 9th feels? you've finished more times out of the 8 in the past 30 years so let us know.

How's selling your future only to finish 9th again in 2025 feel?

We are going down to the bottom of the ladder. But we are going to try to shake it up for the next two years hopefully. Anyway hope you select the next Dow with #3.
