He wouldn’tWhy would Houston be interested in going to North?
Yep agree, our name had been brought up a few times that’s why it’s subject matter.Port Power won't be knocking it back despite them "saying" they want this year's pick, it would be Houston. He clearly want to play for a club in premiership contention which is why he knock back the Saints and picked Melbourne when they looked good before shit hit the fan and now Carlton.
We just have to start winning games, our age profile is our biggest issue.And why would North want him given his age profile?
We just have to start winning games, our age profile is our biggest issue.
Players over 27 are Aidan Corr, Luke McDonald, Darcy Tucker. That’s it, that’s our senior group.
Bringing in Houston at 28 would make the world of difference to our group over the next 4 years.
We just keep losing and it ruins the players belief and development.
At this point we just gotta start winning, more draft picks won’t fix the problem.
There's no way this happened. Norths future 1st is start the car territory. Guaranteed to 5 pick and most likely number 2 at worst. And even if houston didn't want to move, I'm sure port paying a bit extra $$ could sway him. But again, no way this happened. Like the gibbs trade, trading in old players for this amount of draft capital is very risky. I don't think it's ever paid off.In all seriousness if Port knocked back a future first from us for Houston they are insane.
Probably a 50% chance to be pick 1 next year
What happen if Port Power don't increase his salary to what he want as reported by Kane Cornes and then see them bring in Perryman on 7 years at $850K??? He might be forced to.Houston wont agree to go to north.
Port Power as you constantly call Port may not want to deal with the North Kangaroos but rather the Carlton Blues. What are your thoughts on that Camry Crows supporter?And why would North want him given his age profile?

It is Dan's choice where player mangers do not name a team unless they believe a trade can happen.Port Power as you constantly call Port may not want to deal with the North Kangaroos but rather the Carlton Blues. What are your thoughts on that Camry Crows supporter?
Eventually a club will be stubborn and say Nth or nothing for example.
Its bound to happen, clubs need to get tougher with contracted players.
I think you’re right but also that flexibility only goes so far the deal still needs to meet a need for the clubOn the first point... ("It comes down to Port's willingness to let Houston go to Victoria") does anyone actually know whether something's transpired that means he needs to be living near his Victorian family next year? (eg health of a family member, etc)
Or is it a case of "I kinda miss catching up with my family every second weekend, so I'd like to move near them to make that happen"?
Feel like Port - most clubs - would respond differently, for a senior player, depending what end of that spectrum the situation lies.
As a Camry Crows fan you seem very focused on a trade involving a port player to a Victorian clubWhat happen if Port Power don't increase his salary to what he want as reported by Kane Cornes and then see them bring in Perryman on 7 years at $850K??? He might be forced to.
His manager won't try to force a trade with a club who has no draft picks. You guys will just reject it and say stay.Port can say North or nothing as he's got multiple years on a contract, we generally deal though so if say Carlton come up with first rounder and help Port get other deals done we'll probably roll over.
We do have this look at the trade period as a whole type approach though & when players want out we generally deal.His manager won't try to force a trade with a club who has no draft picks. You guys will just reject it and say stay.
But I doubt he wants to join north which means I reckon he probably stays. I doubt anyone else will have enough to offer.
Umm. How does a person have an age profile?And why would North want him given his age profile?
Well if a player can play short or tall, surely they can play young or old too?Umm. How does a person have an age profile?
Funny this coming from a Carlton supporter, the oil is still wet on them from getting pick 6 and a 3rd for Cerra.Freo lathering up over their Schultz trade Future 1st this year - they’ve creamed Collingwood with that future bet.
Cerra is so far above Schultzy boy it's not even funny. Basically solo'd your whole team in a half last year when he was fit and healthy, meanwhile Schultzy boy was just going around polishing off Dunkin Donuts all season longFunny this coming from a Carlton supporter, the oil is still wet on them from getting pick 6 and a 3rd for Cerra.
You forgot the one that pisses me off.Port Power as you constantly call Port may not want to deal with the North Kangaroos but rather the Carlton Blues. What are your thoughts on that Camry Crows supporter?
