Speculation Dan Houston [UFA 2027]

[Adz2332]

DBJ and Dixon are also AA, Houston isn't an multiple AA and you want 2 top 10 picks for him?

Two top 10 picks? No I dont

 

[Adz2332]

You wot?

We are talking about Dan Houston and not Zak Butters here right?

And the same club who refused to give up anywhere close to that for JHF?

It sounds like Port are desperate to get into the draft and are willing to ship one of their best to do so.

I'd be offering a F1 if I was Melbourne.

No I was talking about butters

Two top 10 picks? No I dont

If Melbourne traded Pickett then he would command a top 10 pick.

 

[Adz2332]

If Melbourne traded Pickett then he would command a top 10 pick.

Top 10 for Pickett? Highly doubt that

Melbourne don't need a 27 year old back flanker. Why do we need to throw precious draft picks away for a guy that will give us 4 years of service when we're rebuilding? I could understand if he was a key forward, but not a back flanker.

I see Houston as having pretty similar trade value to Dan Rioli in all honesty. Something in the 12-20 range.

Whilst Houston was an AA last year, I know CD and the club data analysts rate Rioli very highly, much higher than the general public

Both will be 28 next year with 3-4 years of good football left. Their values are on the way down for that reason imo.

Top 10 for Pickett? Highly doubt that

I'd split pick 2 in a heartbeat if we could secure pick 8-10 for Kosi Pickett.

Would easily demand that.

 

[Mich0]

Top 10 for Pickett? Highly doubt that

Is that why you randomly selected him out of nowhere to be included?

Because he is a dud?

 

[ABAB]

Top 10 for Pickett? Highly doubt that

And I highly doubt 2 top 10 picks for Houston.

 

[Adz2332]

Is that why you randomly selected him out of nowhere to be included?

Because he is a dud?

No he is a good player, he may become a excellent one but he's not there yet

But it's up to port to get into the ear of a few guys there like melb has done with Houston.

 

[Adz2332]

And I highly doubt 2 top 10 picks for Houston.

Pick 9 and a future 1st
For Houston and a future 2nd

Or
Pick 9 and Pickett
For Houston and a future 2nd

 

[Mich0]

I like Houston as a player and would give up a first for him in the later half of the round.

But I wouldn’t lose sleep over it if it didn’t happen either. Think we should focus on a younger demographic moving forward. Shits me when clubs toss idiotic draft capital for players because they are the “missing piece”.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

If it’s only one pick we give up then it’s worth it. 2 firsts and it’s getting to dangerous areas with the list.

One top 10 pick is very dangerous with where the list is at, any more is straight up negligence IMO.

 

[ABAB]

No he is a good player, he may become a excellent one but he's not there yet

But it's up to port to get into the ear of a few guys there like melb has done with Houston.

Melbourne didn't target Houston, you guys told everyone he was open to a trade back to VIC.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Top 10 for Pickett? Highly doubt that

You couldn't get me to hand over a top 10 pick quick enough for Pickett. Would be unreal in our team

 

[kaiserchief13]

Houston and Pickett probably worth about the same, possibly Pickett more considering age.

Don’t even know how he is part of the conversation anyway.

How many AA's does Pickett have? How many AA squads does Pickett have?

Houston for Pickett and pick around 10 is right

 

[Adz2332]

Melbourne didn't target Houston, you guys told everyone he was open to a trade back to VIC.

According to who?

 

[Sphynx]

Pick 9 and a future 1st
For Houston and a future 2nd

It's not Melbourne's fault you dumped 3 years worth of draft capital on Zerk-Thatcher, Ratugolea, Sweet, Soldo, Rioli and JHF.

 

[markm106]

One top 10 pick is very dangerous with where the list is at, any more is straight up negligence IMO.

Houston isn’t worth 2 firsts anyway IMO. So wouldn’t do it.

 

[Sphynx]

How many AA's does Pickett have? How many AA squads does Pickett have?

Houston for Pickett and pick around 10 is right

How many AA's does Harry Sheezel and Sam Darcy have?

 

[ABAB]

According to who?

According to what happened, you got insider information????

 

[kaiserchief13]

How many AA's does Harry Sheezel and Sam Darcy have?

Pickett is 4 years older than Sheezel and 2 years older than Darcy, who is a KPP, as we know generally take longer to develop too. Saying that both Sheezel and Darcy have performed far better than Pickett this year

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

You wot?

We are talking about Dan Houston and not Zak Butters here right?

Definitely has a feeling of Port being more than open to it. It sort of makes sense. They have some nice HBFs and getting back into the draft could be a thing for them

 

[ABAB]

How many AA's does Pickett have? How many AA squads does Pickett have?

Houston for Pickett and pick around 10 is right

Would you have given a pick 10 for DBJ or Dixon when they were AA.......

 

[kaiserchief13]

Would you have given a pick 10 for DBJ or Dixon when they were AA.......

Houston is still playing at an elite level, he could well be AA this year

 

[Mich0]

How many AA's does Pickett have? How many AA squads does Pickett have?

Houston for Pickett and pick around 10 is right

How many AAs does Harley Reid have?
