Player Watch Rookie Pick #45 (2015) - Dan Houston

[Ford Fairlane]

27K 9H 12M 2T 2.2 in a losing side at Port's bogey ground.

And he had time to make a young fan's day before the game.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Awesome game by this guy last night, if only he’d kicked that last goal from outside 50.

 

[TeeKray]

Haven't seen him play that well in midfield before. Not just winning the ball and kicking well but really good physical stuff as well. He's clearly been working on his craft and it shows. If he stays focused he'll be an asset.

 

[robbo1981]

Another 5yr contract were the player has gone to another level yes sir may it continue

 

[Power Raid]

He is looking like the natural replacement of boak in time

incredible determination!

 

[davo999]

Glad I saw him as a genuine utility in 2017 . Got shot down at the time but I can pick em . See a midfielder in Farrell too in the future if anyone believes me that’s another story but check in ‘24

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I've been saying for years now that he belongs in the mid and is the best talent we have on our list, and one of the best players in the AFL. This year could be the year he actually shows it.

Houston was a no brainer but I don't see any AFL position for Farrell let alone the ability to play many roles

but yes, let's check in 2 years

Farrell has a future as a winger, maybe a part time small forward if he can fix his tendency to go missing when playing forward.

 

[Macca19]

That was one of the best games anyone has played for the club, he was that good.

Without doubt, nearly dragged us across the line.
Just imagine if that last shot he'd had from outside 50 had been a goal and we'd got up and won.

the midfielder, from the dependable halfbackman, very exciting. Great performance

 

[Port85]

If there was ever a typical port player first game after signing a massive contract extension, this wasn’t it.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

No point wasting a drum roll.

Houston working out that the forward line is ass and becoming the forward line himself by pinging everything at goal when in range was alpha as ****

 

[Marat]

Supreme all over the ground - if you could clone one player you would have Houston on the half back flank, running through the centre, and as your attacking mid size forward (noting he was a full forward in his junior days) . So much hype around so many others who continue to underwhelm whereas Houston just continues to get the job done. Should be first picked every week in my book.

Our new forward strategy should just be kick long bombs straight over Ken's cluster****.

Surely my buddy would be equal leader in the Brownlow count

Rookie Pick #45!

It never stops amazing me. Draft Level Tom Brady.

I don’t think he went “home” over the preseason. If he plays like that all year he’s an AA for sure. - and if he plays like that next week I’m putting $5 for a Brownlow.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Our new forward strategy should just be kick long bombs straight over Ken's clusterfu**.

Definitely. For me the biggest thing is that the player going for goal at least shows they're willing to take responsibility to win.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

That was a perfect captains game if he was one.
