yeah, we tried to run Sincs through the midfield, hence why we picked up Bonner and he played 13 games. It didn't work, Sincswent back and regained his AA form there, Bonner dropped and now delisted says that the Sinclair to the midfield experiment is finished. No coincidence that coincided with our improved form and going 8-4 to end the year.If Dan does end up at st kilda this will be why. Move Sinclair up to an on ball position and Houston at half back.
Don't know much about Dan but unless he can run as a midfielder, then it's an acquisition we don't need, esp at the cost.
So, you can imagine why it's not worth Adelaide using a second rounder on a 28 year old B grader in ANB either.of course he will improve the side..you're missing the point. Do you have any concept of list management? Do you think it's wise for a team like North Melbourne or WCE to spend a first rounder on a 28 year old? Of course not. Melbourne is rebuilding and is no different. It's not the time to be wasting it on 28 year olds that won't even be playing by the time we are pushing up for contention. etc.
big difference between a first rounder and 2nd rounder. Also, regarding Houston, he is worth a first rounder, just not to us. Which is why I don't want us to waste a pick on him. Regarding ANB, he is worth a pick around pick 30, if you don't want him, don't get him. You can't be like 'we want him, but for cheaper than his worth'. That literally makes no sense.So, you can imagine why it's not worth Adelaide using a second rounder on a 28 year old B grader in ANB either.
There was no rumour we chased him, he wanted to come back home and likely asked both SA clubs and we were willing to honour his request.big difference between a first rounder and 2nd rounder.

So 3 first rounders lol.I think his value has gone up this finals series (even though he's out). It's been proven how valuable his skillset is in the modern game.
Just good midfielders don't command 2 1st rounders even in contract.He can. If Port's midfield didn't run so deep he'd be on ball.
I recall Hoyne on SEN even saying that something about his stats indicate he'd be a good midfielder, and Kane said that the defense and midfield coach at Port Adelaide both want him in their respective parts of the ground.
Had a look for the clip but can't find it and don't know what episode its from

If Dan Houston is so good then why are the Port fans in here trying to flog him to the highest bidder lmao??
He may be a gun/bazooka etc.. but he’s not worth it to St Kilda.
We’re pretty shit rn, having another flanker with a decent kick isn’t going to do much for us especially one who’s turning 28.
Most Port supporters would prefer to keep him. He's contracted and a very good player.
If he wants to leave, we want to ensure maximum return for him.
It's not rocket science
A double all Australian who is one of the best defenders in the game vs ANB, who is a good honest B grader, at the same age? It's a different level. I'm not giving a top 10 pick for Houston, but a late first. ANB is maybe worth a pick in the 30-40 range.big difference between a first rounder and 2nd rounder.

it's pick 25 no? You said he's worth 30-40. So even in your own definition it could be only 5 picks off. And giving pick 38 back. Question, what did you want for McAdam?A double all Australian who is one of the best defenders in the game vs ANB, who is a good honest B grader, at the same age? It's a different level.

Melbourne supporters thinking they are getting pick 24 for him is silly. We wouldn't even do a 24 downgrade for him.
Most Adelaide posters at the time realistically thought McAdam at best would only return about the same we received from the WB for Alex Keath.it's pick 25 no? You said he's worth 30-40. So even in your own definition it could be only 5 picks off. And giving pick 38 back. Question, what did you want for McAdam?
Mid 2nd rounder and thought your F2 would have been a late 2nd rounder so we definitely got overs because you gambled with your future pick, same as Collingwood did which has also back fired as well. Not our fault but now you want us to give you overs for ANB who we didn't even chase because your club stuffed up.......reverse the situation, would you be honestly be happy if your club did that trade.it's pick 25 no?

I think ANB is genuinely worth about pick 34.Mid 2nd rounder and thought your F2 would have been a late 2nd rounder so we definitely got overs because you gambled with your future pick, same as Collingwood did which has also back fired as well. Not our fault but now you want us to give you overs for ANB who we didn't even chase because your club stuffed up.......reverse the situation, would you be honestly be happy if your club did that trade.
The simple answer to this is that those numbers aren't correct.Quoting myself from our board and ofcourse I have no knowledge outside what’s reported.
That's not how it works. Picks in the 40s stay about the same or can even come back a pick or two as clubs use multiple picks in the late 20s and 30s to match bids.I think ANB is genuinely worth about pick 34.
So no I wouldn't be happy with pick 25. But pick 42 isn't good enough. that'll be pick 50 on draft day.
We could probably do 42 and a F3, that seems reasonable. Maybe we get back some points at the end of the draft.I think ANB is genuinely worth about pick 34.

Thats the equivelent of around pick 26-28 on draft points so fits perfectly with the dees posters are wanting that valueWe could probably do 42 and a F3, that seems reasonable. Maybe we get back some points at the end of the draft.
Players coming off back to back All Australians generally do though.Just good midfielders don't command 2 1st rounders even in contract.

Yes, multiple AA midfielders.Players coming off back to back All Australians generally do though.
Weird aggressive flex and then you come to the saints board….Bonner played 19 games tiger, get your facts right before posting.
