Player Watch Dan Houston

[Pistol Night]

We know he's a gun in defence and a great user of the ball can kick a good distance also. Would love to see him in the midfield I get the feeling he would be a gun inside midfielder. But happy to have him down back it's a very good defence now if only Murphy was around.

Josh and Dan on a wing each.

To be honest I have no idea who he is .. but he's a port player now so gets my support.

2023 training reports - ‘This guy is keeping a list spot warm until he gets delisted. Zero chance of ever playing an AFL game (LOL)’

2024 - ‘WOW!’, ‘where did that come from?’, ‘He’s a ripper’, ‘poised’. Won Collingwood’s ‘Best young player’ award with stiff competition from Harrison and Parker (suspect the club were pouring as much love as they could to try and entice him to stay).

(At this rate of improvement he’ll win your B&F in 2026 and the Brownlow in 2028)

Cornes the Footy analyst, or Cornes the Port supporter?

Cornes (and all Port supporters) should be tickle pink.

Sure, they gave up an AA player (a lot)

But they got a lot back ...

• They effectively bring in a first round player a year early, and from a so-called “super draft”.
• They effectively upgrade their pick 39 to pick 29 in a so-called “super draft”
• They effectively upgrade their pick 58 to pick 36 in a so-called “super draft”
• Joe Richards will be a cracking player.
• Dunno what Jack Lukosius and Rory Atkins will be like, but they’re obviously players they wanted.
• They get pick 50 for another player in the super draft.

Port lose a decent player, but very easy to imagine that this trade makes them better.

Who cares?

Absolutely and Nick daicos a fit Jordan De Goey running wild. The way ed Allan played that last game and with his massive running capacity he could have a role on the wing.

Trying to keep a lid on it, but I'm very excited for 2025.

The additions of Houston and Perryman will boost our squad.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Feel like that massively glosses over the capital Port sent out

It does if Port crash and burn in 2025 (getting in 2024 Pick 13, and giving up a very early 2025 Pick) but I don’t see that happening?

I’d expect their 2025 F1 would also be around 13?

And the trade period isn't over yet. Let's hope Leppa and Co have a few more surprises.

Value is not just about what you get in.

It’s what you give up.

 

[stevebbb]

This bloke is a serious player, I'm very excited.

You’re missing my point - there is no way they should have given up a future first round pick with what they have ended up with. This is probably because I don’t rate Lukosious at all

 

[Tadpole]

I’m absolutely over the moon with this acquisition.

I'm having a few bourbons tonight to celebrate.

We have up less than what we got.

We lost Noble, Dan will be our rebounding defender. That's where he is needed the most by far. We have no one else down there who is good at rebounding the footy consistently.

Awesome isn’t it.

 

[Visions]

Absolutely stoked we got Houston.

I’m one of the most pessimistic bastards when it comes to Collingwood playing list, but with Perryman and Houston next year, even l think we’re finishing top 4!

[Cousin of Daicos]

I'm legit shocked people aren't realising that Houston clearly wanted out more than they're willing to admit and would have privately nominated Collingwood

Without the level of injuries this year, I think we could’ve finished top 4 in 2024.
Next year we can challenge for #17 .

He misses the first round right? Didn’t he get suspended?

The Port board is a thing of beauty

Yes he has 1 more game to serve. If Port had made the Granny he’d have been clear.
