Confirmed Dan Houston - Joins Collingwood as part of 3-way trade with Port and GC

[Jeremias]

For anyone who missed the prior warning:

Take the Carlton v Collingwood shit fight elsewhere.

Infractions will be handed out.

If you are rejecting 12 + 20 for a HBF approaching 30 you are bonkers.

It's not even a debate for mine, offer me houston or 12 + 20 and im taking the picks before you get a chance to change your mind, about a 95% chance to come out infront.

12 becomes 15+ and 20 goes out to probably 25ish.

15 and 25 for Houston is a very average deal on our end when you consider he’s contracted and one of our best. We’d be better off just keeping him.

Ashcroft is the only pick before 12 who will absorb pick 18 and then you have a essendon and gc academy selection around the 12-20 range so 13 + 22 at worst and im still taking the picks in about 0.00001 of a second

Not when we are supposedly in a premiership window. Different if you are rebuilding like Richmond with Rioli.

He's 27.

Subject to injury he'll play nearly 60 games before he turns 30.

And in this day and age 30 isn't old.

Houston could easily play 150 games for his next club should he be traded.

Lombard has been touted as likely top 10 and possibly Kako around that range. Doesn’t take much for that pick to be out to 15.

Receiving pick 15 for a contracted Houston is robbery. We have absolutely no reason to accept that.

When other lesser players in his position are going for top 10 picks, it’s pretty simple. Either match with a top 10 pick or put in an extra first rounder.

100% mate. Players still in their prime at 30 these days. Clueless posters banging on about his age as if that is a major factor. You’re paying the picks for elite talent in their prime for an instant hit to your list to potentially bridge the gap to a flag. Really need to stop overvaluing a pick 12 that won’t value add to a contending list for a few years.

Which is far more than your average draftee.

This is such a pointless attempt at posturing. You’d still be getting the 12th and 20th best players available from those in the open draft pool. It’s naive to think that this type of logic has any real gravity in these discussions.

 

[Jen2310]

Tom Morris reporting its now down to Carlton or north melbourne

 

[Revan11]

Please choose North Dan. Otherwise it will be 2 weeks of listening to Carlton posters repeating how he’s only worth a F1

Battle might get the saints an extra pick. But I see your point.

I think it’s naive to think it isn’t taken into consideration when it’s a contracted player.

Why trade him for a diluted pick when we could just hold him and trade him a year later if he still wants out and get a pick in the same range then anyway?

If the Blues want him and they don’t want to part with their F1 as well, well then they need to find a way to improve their current pick so it doesn’t get pushed back to 15+.

If the Blues don’t want to pay overs which Port will rightly demand, Dan will know that North is his destination if he wants to return to Melbourne …

I think we are up against it on this one.

Good luck with that in this draft mate, the campo twins have had decent years and were top 10 picks to start the year now going 30-50 such is the talent in this pool, if he leaves you arent getting better than pick 12.

27 is approaching 30, he will be a month off 28 when he 1st plays next year.

He could net you 150 games just as pick 12(13) could net you a duel brownlow medalist and captain of your club for 10+ years.That is without even mentioning the 200 game HBF you could get with pick 20 on top of pick 12.

Particulary this year im hitting the draft 10/10 times for that asking price, just look at the Saad trade Essendon made out like bandits overpaid for a HBF who now at 30 is starting to struggle with injuries and a long way off the player he was.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

If it’s Houston or picks 12 and 20 like previously mentioned in this thread from GC, give me the picks. Berry/Hotton and Hannaford/Moraes sound much better to me. This draft top 25 are very good.

I’m 100% hoping we don’t go after Houston

They forget who got them into a finals. You’d think their fans would be a little more grateful to Port.

I love how you speed up time in every post now. The way you speak about him he should retire now because he’s so old.

Do you ever post anything that isn’t overly dramatic?

Time waits for no man, you are welcome to keep him to his contract it's the most likely outcome.

I think most Port supporters would like to hold him to his contract.

90% chance unless he wants to go north

Carlton will cough up top ten picks for flakey outside players, but when there’s a chance to grab a genuinely great player, they play hard ball?

 

[branedotorg]

don't want him. great player but hit the draft for a small/medium forward or spend capital on a young KPD.
