everyone keeps saying this but they are on the same wins with a lower percentage than last year. Not sure what all the North hype is about, apparently now they are good enough to entice Butters home with a godfather deal. Lol they're still a basketcase in my opinion.

What on earth are you on about? North are on track for a worse season than last year. Melbourne have won 7 more games than them and have been decimated with injuries to key players.
Yeah there 2021 best is unlikely to be rediscovered but i can see them still being around the mark.
North are overrated trash.
Melbourne are a good old fashioned get together BBQ, nabbing Houston with draft picks and picking up a couple of disgruntled midfielders from other Vic teams away from being back in business. But it could go the other way.
I actually don't think they are that bad, they seemed pretty decent on the weekend actually. The mighty kangas couldn't even beat West Coast in tassie.
This situation is uh something.
Pledged loyalty to Port.
Girlfriend convinced him to go home (?)
Decides he should get paid like an AA player.
Also determines that the club be joins must be a contender.

Post playing us they have been far more competitive. They've won 3 out of 10 games and lost another 3 by less than a kick. If you've watched any of their recent games they don't look half as shit as last season.

Tom Morris reporting Houston's management has been told to find a club that will offer 2 x first round picks as Melbourne were prepared to do.

Oh and Morris said Melbourne were prepared to hand over this year's first and next year's first. None of this two picks in the teens nonsense.

Just because he's getting cold feet on Melbourne doesn't mean he's staying at Port. He still wants to get back to Victoria. The issue is finding a club willing to pay the price (two first round picks). Melbourne were willing to do it and that's why Houston's agent steered him in that direction.
I personally think Port should make an effort to bring his girlfriend out here for the next few years. If my mail is correct, she's currently working in admin - not exactly a job that requires you to be in the office in today's paperless society.
But if they can get the two first rounders, he's out of here.

Interested in why you’re not considering that Houston’s girlfriend is from a Carlton family. Wouldn’t the Carlton connection be stronger than Melbourne?

It is probably not what he is now worth but it must have been in the ballpark of what all parties thought he was worth if he signed a long-ish term deal. There is no guarantee he doesn't have a drop off near the end of his contract.

The teams players supported or have family members affiliated with really doesn't play much more than an extremely minor role when players are choosing which team to play for.
It only becomes a story when the dollars and cents make sense, then it's a great PR story.
