And only defender on the list
Has Chris de Burgh got a song ready for him yet?

Yeah, I'd love to put him on a wing and have he and Josh on the wings, but as has been said, since we lost Noble, we need one of the two at half back (possibly both). Josh actually played better football at HB this year than he did on the wing this year, so I actually don't mind the thought of both of them being back there
Bit disappointed he isn't gonna be available against GWS in opening round next year as you would think the Giants will be breathing fire...nekminnit

He'll be a good complement for Willie Rioli.To be honest I have no idea who he is.. but he's a port player now so gets my support.

They're hurting bad, and taking it out on everyone.

Houston, we don't have a problem!
I am rapt, stoked, delighted, euphoric...
Houston and Perryman will give us an awe insipiring half back line/defence, which will apply ferocious pressure in defence and an equally ferocious attacking rebound power.
Perryman will also give us extra midfield depth.
Along with Bruzza, what a combination of quality, skill and dour determination in defence!
Maybe IQ migrates to a wing in the future? Would love to see him unleash his talent there. Think he needs to lose a few kilos over the preseason in order to bring to the fore his electric dynamism as more important factor than body strength.
Still think we need another inside mid to shore up our midfield. We just don't know how Titch will be able to hold up next year, nor if Finn will make it.
That is why I wanted us to chase Matt Kennedy - not sure now if that is out of the question.
Maybe that is also why Devon Robertson - despite the scorn of several posters here - might be a good addition to our list, who would not be an expensive addition.

I guess they needed somebody now that Charlie Dixon has retired?

Houston was worth two top ten draft picks in this super draft.
We’ve done very well.

Well done Pies. He was never worth what Port were asking and now their defence is even weaker. Good luck next year.

Marshall will probably have to retire soon too. But they got reamed
I think the Eagles are closing in on Devon.

I kind of relate the Dan Houston saga to the Ollie Henry saga, only PA got far more from Dan than we got from Ollie.
When a player says he wants to go home, I just can't see how a club can prevent him from going back. How can you believe that you will get the best out of a player after you have denied him a very profound desire: to go home to family etc.
And you can't hold the market to blackmail, because...the market is the market...and you can only get what the market decrees you can.
So I think that the trade was inevitable, and PA did the best they could in those very difficult circumstances.
...and they did get Lukosius (who I think could be very good), and Joe Richards who, most of us here believe, is a very promising prospect.
