Trade Requested Dan Houston [UFA 2027] - Wants to head to Victoria

[jackag24]

I don't get it. So many Carlton fans said they were walking away from this..

Does the list manager not listen to these guys!?

 

[DopeMaster]

Finally something happened. FMD trade period is way too long...

 

[QPower]

Kangaroos bound.

They have the draft capital thanks to the AFL largesse they have received and need senior, elite players who can help drive their array of excellent young players forward.

Look at the latest update. This was a draft play. Still not going after Houston

 

[HBFlanker]

Nah I still think North

Dan will agree on the last day with no movement

North will still need to heavily split pick 2 or find other trades for the future 1st as well.

A lot to play out.

Straight swap for pick 2 is the easiest way.

 

[DopeMaster]

According to Walph Carlton still only offering the single 1st rounder.

 

[DopeMaster]

Still don't think Carlton can afford Houston given they haven't even offered him a contract, and the bag of spuds they're selling at the market are growing those weird potato talons.

What are the current offers?

North: Future 1st

Collingwood: #13 (GC) + Richards

Carlton: #14 + Owies

Dont get the whole "rebuild" angle on here. Deep talented draft, quite a few kids in recent memory seem to be stepping up into AFL fairly early anyway.

Houston would significantly improve your chances of winning a premiership over two 18 year olds. I just don’t get why Carlton are rebuilding rather than going all in on the talented list they already have

Talk is (via Jon Ralph) Carlton want to take 12 and 14 to draft. So not sure they are even keen on Houston anymore.

Would he though? I dunno, he's good but seems to be made out to be Chris Judd on here.

TBH from the start it seems like Houston has been more keen on us than we've ever been on him.

Carlton knocked back a trade offer for Silvagni largely to keep him as bait for getting Houston across, so gonna have to disagree with you there

How do you know this?

 

[drcollossimo]

Looks like he’s staying which is actually good for us

 

[El_Scorcho]

Would one of the best halfbacks and best kicks in the league in his prime get you closer to a premiership than 2 18yos picked at 12 and 14?

I would have thought obviously yes and it's not even close given your list profile. Imagine Houston kicking the ball to Curnow and McKay

Think it's more likely we just like JSOS.

 

[DopeMaster]

Just going by what has been reported. Have they offered him a contract?

He's statistically similar to Nic Newman, granted Nic is 32 so age is not on his side but by the time he's falling off a cliff those 2 18 yos are hitting their 20s. Also think we'll grab another mature age player or two.

Sure would welcome him with open arms given the right price, but he doesn't shift the needle that dramatically, especially if we don't fix issues further up the field and inject some pace.

 

[DopeMaster]

23 year old Beams just about to enter his peak was traded for a 1st, 2nd and steak knives. Understand that future trading has upped player value, and given that, I think about the same is right for Houston.

The only way I see Carlton being able to meet the asking price for Houston would be:

• Carlton trade pick 12 to Sydney for 19+22.
• Carlton trade 14 and 22 to Port for Houston.
• This leaves Carlton having Houston and end of first round pick 19.

Don't see why Sydney would deal though.
