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

[LukeParkerno1]

He'll also potentially be a three times All Australian.

Stays fit he’s getting 4-5 AA jerseys. Hes the most accomplished HBF in the comp and he hasn’t even reached his peak

Collingwood aren't using anything near what they have. If they want to recruit a contracted Dan Houston, then they need to do what Hawthorn did in 2018 when looking to recuit Chad Wingard. Find a player that is actually worth something and trade them out for more picks or convince them to go to Port.

Bingo the Wingard deal is the perfect prototype for this situation yet Pies fans seem to go with “it’s all we have”. Ed Allen is a WA boy can they get pick 10/11 from Freo for him? There’s one option. I’m sure there’s others on their list too.

I should have said that is likely all we wanted to part with.
There was an opportunity to get Houston, we put forward an offer, and got close with what we had.

Doubt we go much further.

We never pursued him like Hawthorn did with Wingard.

If we miss out on Houston, we'll likely keep Noble. Both are contracted, both with be happy to stay.
This is why the Suns wanted to help Port. Dimma is very keen to get Noble in.

I'm happy with what we have. (PS: Ed Allan is off the table.)

Not just contracted he’s contracted long term. The offer has to be comparable at worst if not better than Rioli. That’s a starting point

completely agree Rioli is worth way less than 6 and to be honest for gc they don’t care because they have their top end talent pipeline available for a collection of low picks. It’s a variation in circumstances that doesn’t necessarily result in Houston being worth more than 6.


Personally I don’t think Carlton or Collingwood have really made an offer of Houston’s value as it stands I think personally he’s worth a pick around 10 but no one has even approached that yet.

If Rioli is worth more it’s not enough sorry it’s not. If the market says Rioli is worth pick 6 plus change then that’s the starting point. I love Rioli but there shouldn’t be lengths between the values. Port will rightly say give us a guaranteed top 10 pick plus another first if you don’t have it how is that Port’s fault you are the ones trying to trade in a contracted AA player. Forget Richards he’s the who cares pick 60 plus steaknives. Port should just trade with GC for Luko and be done.

The one that might unlock it might be a younger player the Pies have that Port really like. Just not sure who Port would want.

We both know Rioli ain’t worth what Gold Coast are shelling out for him. One bad trade doesn’t set the price for all other trades, otherwise the Dogs should be getting three top ten picks for Smith who’s a hell of a lot more valuable than Rioli. No team could afford him or Houston if the Rioli trade somehow sets trade values for the year.

Doubt Port spend a week at the negotiating table with the Pies knowing full well the assets at our disposal if they don’t see a way to get an acceptable deal done. It simply wouldn’t have got this far along if it wasn’t in the ballpark.

Baker looks like getting pick #14

Houston is easily worth pick #6-#8 in this draft

 

[PortVic]

It's all the Pies have to trade. Can't move our F2, but could swap F3 for an F4.

Houston scenario is #19, West Coast F1 (#3 or #4 maybe?), with the Richards steak knives (3 year contract offered).
Luko for F1 seems to be widely accepted, or is that not the case?

Overall I don't think it's that bad compared to what has been bandied around here.

WDYT Port fans?

Jakob Ryan?
