Dual All-Australian Dan Houston wants to play for Collingwood, according to The Age, with a potential three-way trade between them, Port Adelaide and Gold Coast on the cards.

The deal could involve up to four players with the Magpies’ Joe Richards keen to join the Power, his teammate John Noble wanting to get to Gold Coast, and the Suns’ Jack Lukosius looking to join Port Adelaide.

But as it stands Gold Coast has rejected the Pies’ offer of a future first-round pick and John Noble for selections 13 and 23, according to the report. The Pies’ plan was to make that deal, then send pick 13 and Richards in exchange for Houston, but the Power are said to be unlikely to accept that offer.

The Suns would prefer to deal with Collingwood over clubs like Carlton (who have offered future picks for pick 13, which they would on-trade for Houston) and North Melbourne (who have offered their future first-round pick) because of Noble’s request to head north.

But they also want Collingwood to have the assets to land Houston, because that would provide Port Adelaide with an additional first-round pick, so they could happily send out their future first-round pick for Lukosius.

However the report stated the AFL has told Port Adelaide it will not need special approval to trade its future first-round pick, as was believed to be the case due to the Power using just two first-round picks over the last four years. However in one of those years they traded for 2021 No.1 pick Jason Horne-Francis meaning he is effectively considered a used first-round pick.

While eventually these players may move to their preferred clubs in separate swaps, they are all intertwined and could end up moving in the same mega-deal.

Mega deal?

Mega Death (by a thousand cuts) more likely.

I just want an uncomplicated deal that deservedly maximises our return for Dan.
We can deal for Richo and Luko separably once we get some picks for the likes of Soldo, Clurey, Wiilliams, et al.

Would Jakob Ryan be more valuable then #23 or #29?
Port get #13 Richards, Ryan, for Houston.

Another shot at the trade

Trade 1
Collingwood : Pick 13
GC : Noble & Pick 36, Pick 52 & Col. FP2 (Similar to what we did with Freo last year)

Trade 2
Port : Pick 13, Col. FP1 & Richards (Col. need permission to trade out both FP1 & FP2)
Collingwood : Houston

Trade 3
Port : Luko & Pick 23 (We take on full salary)
GC : Port FP1

Net result :
Port Gain : Pick 13, Col. FP1, Pick 23, Luko & Richards
Port Lose : Port FP1, Houston

Then we try and trade Col. FP1 and Soldo to St Kilda for Pick 8
