Come on Gabbo, give us the Pies version!

It’s because we were the oldest ever premiership side in 23 and we haven’t got any younger

Pretty sure Hawthorn (2015) and Geelong (2022) were older premiership sides than our 23 team.

Spot on, those cilantros were ancient

Houston might even stay at Port yet

 

[manicpie]

I want to go to Carlton, boo hoo **** you Ollie

 

[Fat Jesus]

Houston might even stay at Port yet

He wants to come back to Victoria. A deal with us looks likely. Judging by Leppas comments.

Whole thing seems a bit weird.

The fact we've got the "inside running" (to pick 13) with Noble is surely irrelevant to Houston and the CSM team. They know Carlton could give their current first rounder to Port if push came to shove.

That and the fact their offer supposedly isn't as good?

I'll give Edmund some credit, he often doesn't like to insert his opinion, but I can't help but feel he's using a Carlton source this morning.

We heard just yesterday Carlton saying "Houston hasn't yet nominated a club" and ten mins earlier Leppa was blatantly saying we are confident.

I think the issue is that Carlton just aren't willing to pay enough for Port to trade him. And that only changes if they trade their first or can magic a big return for Kennedy and Owies or trade someone else. So Carlton are probably his preference, but he's contracted and can't get there unless Carlton are willing to pay enough for Port to release him.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Edmund would float a pro Carlton update to anyone that listened to the Lucas interview on trade radio yesterday. It’s also abundantly clear that he’s their’s if they cave on trading pick 12 and all this talk about 13 will be for nothing if they pivot on that. Listening to Austin though they want the draft. It’s a real test of the power at Princess Park between Austin v Voss.

And the fact that the Blues are wanting to really go to the draft and aren't wanting to give up what the Power want for Houston.

I think Port will only deal with us now.
They said as much.

Not sure how they operate and what “good faith” has or hasn’t been created between the clubs. The concern will be that when Carlton decide to actually join in and provide decent currency they will have to keep the door open to get the best result for their club.

Either Carlton are just being really aggressive in the negotiations or they genuinely at this stage can’t come up with an offer that is good enough.

The problem with trade period lasting so long is it opens the doors to things happening that may not have in a shorter time frame which can work for and against you.

As much as I hope I am wrong , i am in the get Houston camp, still think there is more to play out here with the Scum, unfortunately.

GC suggested similar in regards to 13 because of Noble. Where Houston’s preference sits (and what I assume Edmund neglected to mention) is that if he wants out it’s Collingwood because of the other moving parts. Carlton has a real shot at pulling the rug out from under us by ramping up their offer, but I don’t see it unless as sr suggested they can get outrageous value for Kennedy and Owies. IMO, the key for Collingwood and why I think he gets to us is our ability to tie the 4 players and three clubs together.

 

[Anzacday]

Is Anzacday still confident, that's what I want to know.

I'd honestly wonder if there would be anyone really in the market for either, listening to Gettable on AFL.com.au they seemed to believe there's little market for a player like Kennedy. I'm not sure about Owies, though. I don't think he'd have a lot of value either.

They'll deal with Carlton if Carlton offer enough, but there list manager is saying they're not going to.

I don’t think their list manager has watched many bris or Zorko games

Please post this outside the trade thread mate.

Fixed.

Sam Edmund having a Full on Sook about Collingwood Fans on this SEN this Morning

 

[Anyonebutken]

Sorry to intrude but Houstons preference would be to continue to play for Port unfortunately we are not based in Melbourne!! and for family reasons he needs to get back to Melbourne so he will be happy to play for either Carlton or Collingwood. Yes he has a relationship with vossy but whichever of the 2 clubs comes up with the best deal for port will get his services. Don't listen to Edmund.

 

[The Majestic]

Don't listen to Edmund.

I don't think anyone but Edmund listens to Edmund anyways.

Dunno mate. It was posted on here earlier this week. Port wanted to deal with us and were upset with Carlton’s offer. Perhaps I dreamt it up. If someone has a link.
I don't have twitter

 

[loki04]

Kane is not completely wrong, I agree that Houston and Perryman will be the new senior players when all of our veterans retire which is important. But our youth is average at best, and we have one of the oldest lists in the competition. I find it strange that so many people think our youth is elite.

Agree seems to be the feel of the avoid the draft mob, either over rating the talent under 28 or not realising the drop thats inevitably coming which we dont have much talent coming through for.

They're mad. It's not a very physical role. You could get a lot of years of elite ball use out of defence - their biggest weakness.

 

[Antz]

Well, if it's true that Houston wants to go to Carlscum, then Carlscum will satisfy the requirements for him to get to Port. I'm a bit deflated because Houston would have looked good in the black and white.
