LOL NO. If Rioli demands pick 6 and 20 as people in the media have been suggesting, Port should be requesting 2 x top 10 picks just to entertain Port. Port should not give up Houston unless the saints for example give up picks 7&8 and a future 3rd or pick 8, pick 24 and Future 1st. If clubs want Houston that much, they must be prepared to cough up what he is worth and he is worth ALOT.
I had a laugh at John Noble being worth pick 26 and then realised Gold Coast will probably pay that. He’ll play less than 20 games for them.
Rory Atkins still has a year to run on the 5 year deal the Suns gave him…
If Houston nominated Pies, reckon there'll be a deal that involves Richards and Luko to Port, Noble to Suns and Alex Davies and Houston to Pies. There'll be several pick swaps to even out the deal
Suns to get Noble, 32, Collingwood F1, lose Luko, Alex Davies and 6
Pies to get Alex Davies and Houston, lose Richards, Noble and 32, F1
Port to get Luko and Richards, 6, lose Houston
Something like that could easily work, turning Houston into 6, Luko, Richards would be great work.
Still think Houston goes sadly

Where did pick 6 come from
Whoops sorry that 13 from Gold Coast was meant to be 6. Edited now
Initially started with 13 and thought we weren't getting enough. Also aware 6 will be involved in a deal for Rioli. My idea was a hypothetical 3 way trade (or 4 if Richmond wanna get involved) given there's players that may want to go between the 3.

I'm hearing that too but my feeling is that that's what is coming out because either Dan has asked his management to wait on communicating any offers to him until finals is done (the result of which may potentially change his mind) or there hasn't been any realistic offers that have come that Port would accept so as it stands he's staying.
Rubbish. He’s an uncontracted fringe player not playing first 22.
For port we lost Aaron young, ah chee, hombsch and Austin for 4th round picks.
What’s good for the gander is good for the geese.
Also, you only just offered him a contract , he must of been one of the last guys you pushed a contract in front of. Clearly wasn’t a priority for you guys.
You might have to trade in a top 30 pick.Hopefully we play a little hard ball with him if he doesn't re-sign. Have you seen him play? He has looked like a top 20 draft pick this year.
No he hasn’t. Also, he’s 25 ish isn’t he? Not a recent 18 yr old draft pick.
By the same stupid measure Houston is playing like a generational number 1 draft pick.
He isn’t being chased by most clubs in the comp. There’s 18 clubs, he’s being chased by a couple of clubs, and clubs have interest in him because he’s a fringe out of contract player that will be cheap.
I think you would want a bit more but it is tempting.
So you are saying your source says he is staying but the smoke won't go away so your source might be wrong on a 50/50 call? I swear 99% of people who say they have a source inside the club are just having a throw at the stumps and praying they are right.

Dan isn't going anywhere.
He may leave, or he may not, in my opinion.

Is that 2 x first round picks? There's you're answer.
Rule of thumb: as soon as someone mentions their 'source', they're talking out their arse

Must admit, I put "sauce" in the top 3 things I hate........coriander, Hinkley and sauce. Not necessarily in that order.
