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

[Brenton87]

Looks like we take on Atkins salary and lukos for nothing.
We retain our future first. I'm taking Atkins every day of the week of we retain next year's first

Port give up their future 1st to Suns

 

[ABAB]

Didn't you say Houston was only worth a single pick in the teens?

Around pick 10.

 

[Adz2332]

Why would port take on Atkins salary and give up a future first?

 

[bonehilda]

Why would port take on Atkins salary and give up a future first?

He only has a year left on his contract, it’s hardly a salary dump

 

[Skull Face]

Collingwood receives: Dan Houston, 58

Port Adelaide receives: Jack Lukosius, Joe Richards and Rory Atkins, 13, 29, 50

Gold Coast receives: John Noble, 2 x future first-rounders, 39


From The Age

All that huff and puff from port to give up Houston for luko + 29?

 

[Adz2332]

If not a salary dump why include him at all?

 

[BringFevBack2021]

If this deal goes through as suggested, especially with Port giving up their f1, then Pies must have some leverage over port and the suns. Port and suns doing crazy deals to improve a direct competitor for a top 8 spot. Never change guys.

Right?

Can’t understand this from Port or GCS perspective.

Port can’t be that desperate for Atkins or Luko, surely? Even if they were, why do they need to deal with Collingwood when North are offering a better deal?

I understand GCS want Noble, but he is not the player you make sacrifices elsewhere to get over the line. Could get Hind as DFA and have a very similar player for nothing if you really want a quick, clean HBF

EDIT:
Pleasedontfail11 I’m not salty, I’m impressed with the Pies robbing the Suns and disappointed with the Suns for squandering another trade period

Can only give the Pies props

You guys seem hell bent on bolstering your SANFL side at the moment, you might genuinely see him as a sweetener?

If you just separate Lukosius, Atkins and our F1

It's basically Houston for 13, 29, 50, Richards

Which is terrible

Yep if we give up our future first it's horrible

Was always going to be a mid 1st, a mid 2nd and steak knives. We were trying to get 23 but it fell through. Sorry Port.

From The Age

Surely North’s offer for Houston was better and you work out Richards and Lukosius separately if you’re Port?

Great deal for the Suns and Pies.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Bit disappointed we won’t get Houston, but thankful we aren’t getting reamed by the Pies for no good reason, so swings and roundabouts.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Hopefully Richards plays like he did at times this year and doesn't get injured like he did in 2023 and part of 2024. He looks a player if he can stay injury free.

 

[Dudoro]

The funniest part of all of this is I didn’t know Atkins was still on a list. Thought he’d been cut years ago

 

[HairyO]

That is the beauty of trade week. Players you thought long gone pop up and apparently are key pieces of major deals.

Surely Port just talk to Carlton and avoid list cloggers being forced on them.

Maybe we'll try and package 29 and 50 to move up again.. not sure.

It's probably best to wait till after the trade period to assess all the ins/outs

 

[Visions]

Great deal for the Suns and Pies.

Reportedly North offer to player and club was better, but also reported Dan didn’t want to go to North in the end.

 

[Dudoro]

Only reason North were ever mentioned was because they offered way more $ than the others. He never wanted to go there

Houston didn't want to go to North and Port Power wanted to get back to this draft.

 

[Young_Guns]

I love how everyone in here is making wild statements about each club involved while sourcing completely different trades to one another.

Did Port give up their first? Did the Suns give up Lukosius for nothing?

Seems like everyone’s still got NFI what the actual deal was, but it didn’t stopping them from teeing off.

 

[Footy Smarts]

If Port have given up their future first their love for barely state league quality players really knows no bounds.

 

[Adz2332]

Argh why do north have to be so shit

What's not to know?

You traded pick 13 and 29 to the pies for noble and a f1.

Noble and pick 29 cancel out so for some reason you've traded pick 13 straight up for a f1 when other clubs were offering alot more.

You prioritised dealing with the pies over pick 13 for john noble as if he's nick daicos.

Then the deal for Rioli is a joke, Dan Houston a much better player just went for a f1 and John noble yet you are trading pick 6 in a superdraft AND pick 23.

But go ahead defend these atrocious moves
