Saad was pick 8.
Houston is a far far better player than Saad.

If only the Suns LM Team had some backbone - unfortunately we all know they don’t.
13 for Noble & F1 is about right.
Noble isn’t worth much & Collingwood are “very confident” of bringing Houston in according to their overly effusive list manager.
Leppitsch is dumb enough to pander to the Collingwood horde stating how confident he is, that’s going to cost him something in these trades - both to The Suns & then to Port.
Collingwoods problem is they’ll need 2 firsts to pay for Houston - if they use their F1 in the trade for 13, how will they get it done.
Haven’t they learned from the Lauchie Schultz debacle?

Saad didn't have his best year in 2024 but prime Saad is just as good as Houston if not better. He is a far better defender than Houston and has been used in a lockdown role by us with his closing speed making him tough to beat. Offensively he is as damaging as anyone. We just need to get that balance right and unleash him forward a bit more in 25'

How so?
Saad runs both ways, can run with abandon, delivers the ball effectively & can lock down defensively.
Houston is far from a defensive strength.

Carltons pursuit of the guy has to be the weirdest thing ive ever seen
Its almost like they are asking Port Adelaide to be nice as part of the negotiation strategy
F1st + pick 34 + please be nice to us for Houston + being a nice guy

The Tasmanian nbl club haven’t exactly struggled getting quality players down from interstate have they. I think your massively underestimating what it means for a Tasmanian kid to be the first to play for a local club , they will have extra salary cap concessions and the afl are talking about making every Tasmanian Available as free agents as well he will be there no 1 target unless north improve massively over next couple seasons I think they will struggle to keep him

Change the word Cripps to Butters say and what's the difference. Port are in their window yet are trying to ship a player that may help them to try and win a flag for a kid in the draft that won't

Blues have dropped the ball here as usual. Watch Pies come in and get this done. Pies are a destination club who get deals done.

He has 3 years left on contract, they CAN keep him and should as they need every good player they have to try and go past a prelim to a GF.
If it was Butters under contract, are we having this same conversation about Port being 'ok' for him to explore his options..doubt it
It is the new way, everyone must keep the players and their managers happy.
Besides, Houston has been at Port for 8 years, that is punishment enough.
If they didn't let him go human rights would get involved.
Collingwood Get: Houston, F2 (GC)
Collingwood Give: Noble, Richards, F1
Port Get: Pick 12, Lukoscious, Richards
Port Give: Houston, F1
Gold Coast Get: F1 (Coll), F1 (Port), Noble
