Dan Houston

[240volt]

No I thought YOU would be mad? Is it that time of year that Port supporters are happy to watch their best players walk out the door?

Fortunately you don’t have many good players in the beginning, that’s why you’re 15th.

Is Cal Twomey on a retainer to PFC? Has been PUSHING this Houston narrative continually like he's got some vested interest.....

My point is ... He was shopped around! He hasnt chosen Melbourne as the ONLY team he is willing to deal with - as some have suggested. His agent is currently negotiating only with Melbourne, merely because they are they only team that has made a serious offer.

You're missing the point here completely.

He was shopped around weeks ago - teams have already have ample time to make a serious offer. Multiple clubs made serious considerations to getting him weeks ago. St. Kilda wanted him big time and Steve Silvagni leaked this entire story to the media when Houston's agent told the Saints, "no." It eventuated that Melbourne were willing to pay him what he was after, and they also haven't been scared off by Port's 2 first round pick price to get Houston via trade.

Things may have changed, but as of around a week ago, his camp had narrowed things down to Melbourne only and his agent was in negotiations with only the Demons.

Still early days though isn't it? Why wouldn't his manager continue to field the best offers? Still plenty of time until the trade period.

I wouldn't consider it early days at all. The "trade period" is where the deals officially get done. But negotiations are being had between list managers and agents 12 months of the year.

Might a team come from no where and enter the race for Houston? Sure. Do I expect it? No, because if that were the case, why wouldn't they have made an offer all those weeks ago when his agent did the rounds to gauge interest to get him back to Victoria in the first place?

Goes back to my comment from weeks back.

Is his contract front ended and the drop off in the money in his contract starts about now?

Watch Melbourne step out of the race, we move Dan for unders like pick 10 by itself or something.

There goes the 2 first rounders if Melbourne step out of the picture imo.

Hoping this means he stays and doesn’t just mean two shit teens picks from another club for him…

 

[Chewy316]

This has certainly escalated quickly.

Melbourne always seemed an odd choice but there's generally reasons why players pick certain teams that none of us are privy to.

Will be interesting to see how it eventuates from here.

Is it possible after playing them last week in an empty Gee while witnessing Goodwin's gamestyle he thought FCUCK THIS? lmao

Lol negotiations probably started when Melbourne were sitting in the top 4 back in May. Now they look ripe for years in the wilderness.

It just means St Kilda/Richmond step up

He might as well go to Melbourne if those are his other 2 options.

Doubt either would offer their first.

Who would want to go to St.Kilda?

I mean, apart from Dougal, Logan and Riley, that is.

I guess another boring off season. Was excited to get back into top ten this draft.
