To trade two firsts for Houston with our list in its current state would literally set us back five years.

Yeah...it doesn't work that way. GC have picks to burn and Dimma absolutely adores Rioli. We will get more for Rioli than Port would get for Houston, despite him being (arguably) a better player.Tom Morris has been reporting on SEN this week that the asking price from Richmond for Daniel Rioligetting to the Gold Coast is 2 first round picks. He believes their picks 12 and 20 would get that deal done.PLAYERCARDSTART17Daniel Rioli

If that's the price for Rioli, theoretically Port shouldn't have trouble getting 2 first rounders (or equivalent value) in a trade for Houston.
We are eternally grateful for thatHopefully this time we don’t pass on Dusty
7 or 8 at worst. Ashcroft will probably be bid on top 3. Lombard is the only other early possibility but not likely before 7. Saints may well get a pick after their 1st for Battle if he goes.Where will pick 6 slide to after farher/son and academy pick have taken place
6 could become 10
Pick 10 or 12, not both.

Melbourne don't have the draft capital that Suns have though? And suns are already guaranteed Lombard who is a top 10 prospect so coughing up an early pick is much more inconsequential to them than it is the Dees.Nothing saying Melbourne aren’t as keen on Houston as GC are on Rioli.
That being the sole reason you think you’d get more is laughable.
Melbourne hunting him for whatever reason with 4 years left on the deal. We’ll get plenty for him and rightfully so.
Except Melbourne didn't target him, reportedly he wanted to renegotiate his contract and Port Power said no so his management talked with other clubs based in Melbourne.You don’t target a player with 4 years on a contract, who is a top 5 player at that club, without being prepared to give up something significant. Pick 6 is the starting point. No point arguing whether it’s fair or not, it clearly has to be on the table.
If that were the case, why wouldn’t they be talking to other clubs?Except Melbourne didn't target him, reportedly he wanted to renegotiate his contract and Port Power said no so his management talked with other clubs based in Melbourne.

How do you know they're not?If that were the case, why wouldn’t they be talking to other clubs?
You think his management didn't talked to other Victorian clubs which ended with Melbourne willing to pay what he wanted likely from the salary cap relieve from Brayshaw who signed on a big contract.If that were the case, why wouldn’t they be talking to other clubs?

If both players leave I'll all but guarantee Rioli will be traded for more than Houston. No need to carry on.
I don’t. Hope they are though.How do you know they're not?
What? Deals fall over all the time. If Houston does want out I'm sure they'll find a way to make it work. I'm just saying using Rioli and the Suns as your precedence is not apples and apples.Teams don’t just approach long term contracted players and then go here this is all we have take it.
if they don’t have the capital to get it done they’d quite clearly trade with another team to get that capital, or have it be a 3 team trade.
Not rocket science and pretty much the basis for most trades these days.
It says Cornes did some "digging".What a joke LOL

Doesn’t change the fact that they are targeting him. They know the uphill battle they will likely face. If they aren’t willing to part with at least pick 6, then the deal will probably fizzle out.You think his management didn't talked to other Victorian clubs which ended with Melbourne willing to pay what he wanted likely from the salary cap relieve from Brayshaw who signed on a big contract.
