In an alternative universe Salopek plays in the 04 grand final instead of Cassisi…
Bolton would be the perfect pick up for us.There was a post in a rumour thread on the crows board a few months ago that we were into Shai Bolton (along with Perryman and Stengel). Could some trade be worked out to get Houston to Richmond and we get Bolton? It won’t get us back into this years draft which appears to be the clubs MO. It would also mean that Bolton wouldn’t get back to WA but we do have a couple of his best mates here in SPP and Narkle. If we could replace Houston with another back flanker in Perryman (a bit of a downgrade but still an afl quality player) and a mid/forward in Bolton could that be better than multiple draft picks?
So far Melbourne are the only club that has agreed tp our request of one low pick plus extras, or two first rounders in the mid-teens. Where the Saints said no, and promptly leaked the story that Dan was on the trade market.One game
Why trade Houston on the basis of media opinions ???My take on list changes.
Significant uncertainty in terms of trade obviously.
I'd expect us to pick up a ruckman in the draft if Soldo leaves. Expect one of Williams or Burton to go.
I think Scully is in danger and wouldn't surprise me if he is chopped. Line ball decision for me.
In:
Perryman
Luko
Richards

In the SANFL yesLooking at our SANFL results, we don’t bat very deep at all. It would be a deadset miracle if we could snag a Premiership this year.
I would rather keep him, like presumably every Port supporter would, but he is very obviously goneWhy trade Houston on the basis of media opinions ???
Houston has asked for the trade and his manager has been shopping him for two firsts (port's request)Why trade Houston on the basis of media opinions ???
Richmond absolutely will not be interested. Why on earth would they trade for a 28 yr old when they are about to go into a mini rebuild. They are going to get a mountain of picks for the departing players to go with pick 1. They will be using all of them before Tassie come in. They know they won’t be contesting while Houston is in his prime.So far Melbourne are the only club that has agreed tp our request of one low pick plus extras, or two first rounders in the mid-teens. Where the Saints said no, and promptly leaked the story that Dan was on the trade market.
I reckon Richmond will be interested after they have harvested all their proposed trades for incoming round one picks.
I don’t think we’ll be allowed to trade our future first (probably a good thing) unless we get get some in.If we keep Houston and then bring in some or all of the following:
- Perryman (FA cost nothing)
- Cumming (FA cost nothing)
- Richards (3rd rounder this year or next)
- Luko (Future first)
- Pickett (not sure how we would get this done)
All very doable except Pickett. That improves our squad out of sight.
Has Pickett requested a trade to Ports yet ? If not, then what’s he waiting for ?

Possibly his partner is settled in Melbourne and would be getting "spoilt" and looked after by those in Melbourne to keep Kozzy there. Which surprises me either way because both are from NT. Kozzy has roots in SA and was apart of the port Academy? Plus his uncle Byron too. All of that and add all the indigenous programs etc that Port do and up in NT that would benefit both Kozzy and his partner. You'd think she would jump at that too. Because my honest opinion is that Melbourne only do mediocre virtue signalling stuff for Kozzy to keep him satisfied enough. I don't buy their fake shit tbh. Port clearly is genuine.
