Dan Houston

[Steve Dore]

I always like players that don't shit themselves in front of goals. Excellent selection.

It should be mandatory that any player we draft is already potty trained.

A mate just rang and said that Dan is his son.

The old boy worked at CUB in Darwin.

I feel I now have to protect the kid from inter web **** wits.

Macca it appears we have drafted players who can kick...is that a fair observation and do you think that was an instruction to list management...good thing if it was!

You would think so.

 

[Portwon]

Looks like he reads the ball well in the air. Front and centre a few times as my old coach use to say.

Impressed with this draft period. Looks like we have picked up some smart footballers, some players with skill and reading some of the posts across the various threads on the board some good people.

 

[FallingLiefs]

I like Houston. Nearly my favourite pick of the whole lot, other than Bonner.

has he got any midfield scope?

 

[Gee Dub]

has he got any midfield scope?

Not sure. He moves pretty well. That was one of the first things I noticed when I saw him. I think his kicking on the highlights package makes him look better than it is though. Could see it happening but yeah wouldn't hold out a heap of hope for it.

*PAF Judging by his coach's comments and looking at his build I think Dan Houston PI is the fat kid you were looking for.

 

[ZakLee]

Looks like a great pick up. From his video I don't quite understand why he wasn't picked up in the main draft.

 

[Asgardian]

Like the very best kicks, his action is effortless.

Plus by the sounds of it we also have a tackling machine small forward that knows how to kick goals.
It's been a good draft.

 

[Boxx]

Like the very best kicks, his action is effortless.

He also seems to almost float when he jumps for the ball, I see him as a direct replacement for Gussy as a classy reliable forward option.

To me, we have the tall forwards more than covered, the small freakish crumbing forwards covered - but only really Gus as that medium leading forward option (Palmer could also fit in this category as well)... Houston is a very good addition to our squad IMO!!!

I'm still disappointed that we delisted Mason Shaw. I was looking forward to a Mason Shaw, Charlie Dixon forward line.

 

[Dave Omsby]

Looks pretty good . Direct competition with Palmer by the looks for the Monfries spot

All Port Adelaide needed was Dallas from Hawthorn.

Maybe we can draft L(uke) A(blett).

Yeah ummmm ... California.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Looks like a flanker that could become a Project Mid, Strong selection at #135 or whatever he ends up being, good scope to develop!

Sound like you have a father son type pre selection in the Buddy draft this year big fella.

For a slab of Carlton draught i'll gladly curtail my inter web f**kwittery.

 

[Sleezy]

Seems to be a similar player to Bruest, Le Cras, Tory Dickson - which is interesting. All three of those players have torn teams apart over recent seasons as they don't get the focus they deserve in favour of a roughhead/gunston, kennedy/darling or crameri/stringer combo, get under a teams guard and wreak havoc.

Not everyone has a tom jonas to shut them down . Lets hope the kid has the work ethic and drive to break into the power line-up.

Considering Butcher's confidence in front if goal I might start calling him El Paso!

 

[yepits2020]

I like the look of him. Could be anything really, but could surprise. Great kick, leads well, reads the flight of the ball. here's hoping.
