Take it up with Tom Morris
Tom Morris didn't say 2 x top 10's, you did. There's just no way. Even if we gave up this year's first rounder, and next years F1, we'd be getting ports F1 back. Regardless, Melbourne can count their lucky stars that we're not getting Houston but Tim Lamb should probably be immediately sacked for even contemplating it.
That's why Petracca was disillusioned with Melbourne
You are aware that there are players that play in different positions on the ground aren’t you? And that being elite in one position doesn’t mean that you are a better player than one that is elite in another position.
When you talk about elite players, you talk about elite players of the competition. Gawn is elite and not just elite in his ruck position.
He was third in our b and f last year behind those two you mentioned. Looking a decent chance to receive a second consecutive all aus blazer and will be a top 4 finisher in our b and f this year. He isn’t max Gawn, but if that isn’t “elite” then it’s a pretty tough standard to measure up to. Seems like a standard that can really only apply to full time mids
Look, I don't know why you got so antsy, I think I've always been more open to discussion with you than most but without continuing to round in circles, I agree it was insane move by the people in charge and I'd be pretty angry as a supporter. Feels like people in charge looking after themselves rather than the club.
Fairs fair, houston is a good player under contract and has the potential for 1 more big contract if he goes but its completely the wrong list move for Melbourne as they look like moving into rebuild territory, not another flag push
I'm not sure if you are joking or being serious. Most sides would have at least 5 or 6 players better than Houston which takes him out of the top 100. That doesn't make him a bad player by any stretch, but if he is worth 2 first round picks then so are a whole lot of others, to the point where it doesn't really make sense.Yeah definitely 100 better players than arguably the best half back in the comp, best kick in the comp and rated as the 10th best player in the comp by Champion Data as well as the best General Defender in the league
Shit hit wasnt it!
I can assure you that I am not. Clearly we differ in our rating of Houston but I am staggered that you would disagree so vehemently. I can't think of one club in which Houston would be a top three player. That would make him outside the top 60 players in the AFL. Suggesting that there would be at least another 40 players better than him is not outlandish. You may disagree but calling it trolling is being either unfair or ingenuine.
What clubs would Houston be a top 3 player at in your opinion? I could maybe see Hawthorn being one now that I look at it.
Your team to start the list. Arguably your best player is playing the position he's playing atm. Houston would play that position 10 times better than dawson, so dawson can go back to playing his best football in his preferred position.
I won't compare him to Adelaide players because I'm sure that I'm too biased to do that honestly. The fact that you think he is 10x better than who you consider Adelaide's best player shows that you are probably also not capable of doing that. So I don't think we should count that one.
