What you’re really saying here is that you don’t think we can get 12 for Noble because our F1 and 12 is going to be better than any competitor aside from North. If Rioli is getting 6 then Noble gets 12.
In a normal market Houston and Petracca aren’t far apart, but there’s a rawness to the Petracca one that would make Melbourne particularly difficult to work with not to mention that Port would still have the golden trio. Take Petracca from the Dees and it’s time to rebuild.
It’s so cooked isn’t it
If you think Noble is worth pick 12, Rioli pick 6, then Houston is worth pick 2-3 at least. The only one who can satisfy that is North who have offered their F1.
Seriously have a read of what you've been saying. You say Houston would instantly be our second best player behind Naicos. Do you then think we would be willing to trade out any lesser players like Moore/JDG for a F1 projected around pick 10 in a weak draft plus whatever draft capital on traded from a Noble equivalent? It would be the equivalent of us trading Moore to Carlton for their F1 and Kennedy.
Realistically we're not getting Noble for pick 12 without other picks involved and most likely our F1. We would do well to get Pick 12 and 20 for Noble and our F1. That's barely more than we gave up for Schultz and not enough for Houston.
I mean you’re not projecting a real ‘want’ vibe so sounds like you wouldn’t even want to part with one first rounder.
If we were seriously interested there are ways to make it work. Trade extra capital to get access to pick 12 this year, trade our future 1st with later picks coming back so we have capital for McGuane etc. We can get creative with it.
Anyway it doesn’t sound like that’s the way the club is going, so be it. But let’s not pretend we’re not missing out on an elite player.
And actually if I can’t appeal to your rational brain let’s try the emotional one. What is the biggest thing that Carlton struggles with with their gameplan? It’s creativity off half back. It’s either boundary kick to Curnow/Mckay/TDK or it’s a 1-2 with Saad with a predictable running pattern. Put Houston there and assuming Cripps stays at his level and unfortunately they’d actually contend next year… now if we get Perryman and it forces Port to keep Houston it’s a job half done

Almost everyone wants a Ferrari, but almost everyone only have money for a Kia.... in this case you just make sure you buy the right Kia.

Petracca >>>>>>>>>>> Houston. When Houston wins a Norm Smith I'll apologize for this post (which he won't ever do). Be happy it looks likely we're going to get get Perryman. I'll take Perryman any day of the week over Houston, who has never indicated he wants to go to Collingwood, while furthermore the last thing we should be doing is give away future first picks.

That’s why I only potted him for playing Madge Ben Crocker and brown brothers going sideways and backwards
Hi lads. Not sure how much weight to put on the Houston rumour, but if true & given your limited draft hand, would Harvey Harrison possibly be put on trade table?

Apparently according to Essendon supporters, MacKay was going to add the finishing touches to a premiership this year. Not only did Essendon not win the premiership this year they failed to make finals. In the Essendon games I attended this year, MacKay spent most of his time standing at the full back line gazing at the stars while the ball spent all its time down the other end of the ground. Not bad for a guy on a million dollars a year. So you honestly think Houston is going to mean the difference of a premiership next year at Carlton? Think again. There's a reason Cripps polled 45 votes in the Brownlow medal, mainly because Cripps has next to nothing support from the other Carlton mids when the ball is bounced.I mean you’re not projecting a real ‘want’ vibe so sounds like you wouldn’t even want to part with one first rounder.

Maybe we would be better getting a replacement recruitment officer?
I hope you’re right but I think you’re wrong. Essendon has not won a final in 20 years and their ladder position has been hugely inflated the past two seasons. Carlton is not as far as I’d like, at least until Cripps slows down, and solving their HB challenge would be their top 2 priority I’d say with bringing some pace in the midfield/wing. We’ve got injuries as one of the reasons for our underperformance this year, they do too.
Let’s just say if we’re not getting Houston I would rather see him anywhere else than Carlton.
Houston would be another N Daicos in the backline. It was what was missing off half back for most of our year. Petracca would be like another slightly more consistent and prolific DeGoey. Don't get me wrong I would like both but if I had to pick one it would be Houston and that is before we take into account the 18 months age difference and the extra draft picks needed to get Petracca. The Norm Smith is a bad argument. It make Petracca automatically better than Daicos, Cripps, Ablett Jr etc. Use the AA advantage if you have to.

That’s because Collingwood rock.
Sure. If he was happy to go although he is coming off an AC and will miss most of the year. I agree that Port would likely target our SA talent: McCreery, Harrison and Ryan to name 3. They have already targeted Richards as well.

Even if they are similar standard. I'd prefer Tomlinson, because I like Moore deep and central and that's where Billy plays because he gets completely lost and can't play anywhere else.

Their not similar. Tomo is a much better player who can actually rebound and read the play much better.
