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

[240volt]

Melbourne are losing everyone so they'll have currency for Dan if he changes his mind.

Who’d want to go to Melbourne right now?

 

[Skindy]

If we win a flag don't all our players immediately become worth first rounders anyways? At least that's how it seems to work for Vic clubs. We should have no issues trading Francis Evans to get back into the first round

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Fantastic news, could had said something 8 weeks ago though to shut it down though and didn’t.

But great news, such an important player for our future

 

[bringbackbucky]

Injuries I can deal with, but it is so frustrating knowing that Dan is fully fit, yet ridiculously unavailable for selection...

 

[dirty2]

If she's from Melbourne - what do you think?

AFL players changing clubs or being influenced by women is a joke. Or a dumb cover-up for player managers who are wheeling and dealing contracted players.

Most guys are stupid and do things to keep there Mrs happy all the time even things that they dont want to.

"Happy wife happy life"

Tried it once... Didn't work.

 

[Coobk001]

I don't believe Dan is going or has ever been going. I understand the club is testing the water again, thinking we might secure some draft collateral, but I don't buy into any of it.

Thoughts on Houston news? Chewy316

Do you still think he's leaving?

 

[gbear]

And he said flat out 'I'm not leaving next year'.

He could be lying though.

 

[gbear]

****. We are really going to miss him this finals series aren't we

Yep

Don’t forget to tag Watto71 too!

 

[chachi11]

I don't think I've ever heard a player say they are leaving during the season. I'm not getting my hopes up on this one..

says he's rejecting offers from rival clubs and is staying at Port Adelaide

[Watto71]

Just typical Vic B.S
Dan said weeks ago he was contracted and not going anywhere

 

[QPower]

Dan is staying…until he isn’t.

These types of player movements are like leaderships challenges in politics…the leader has absolute loyalty from the challenger until he doesn’t and the challenge is on.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Anyway if he did leave we all remember what Crows gave up for Gibbs so Houston should be worth 4 first rounders surely

 

[Grave Danger]

Damn, Dan - you've gone and spoiled our trade/draft period!

 

[PenfoldsFan]

Stoked to hear he's staying on!!

Thankyou Dan.

 

[240volt]

He could be lying though.

When you make it very public you have made a decision then you backflip it hangs with you for life.
He just don’t come across as that sort

I think it means (when translated) that no team has shown a willingness to meet Port's demands as it currently stands.

In Dan's perfect world, he would get back to Melbourne this off-season. But the world ain't always perfect.

This one still has a few twists and turns left. Anyone saying definitively he's staying or leaving right now is either lying or has terrible Intel.

If Luko wants to get to Port, and Port get Perryman as a free agent, the odds Houston moves increases imo.

 

[Portmagpies36]

He probably is happy at Port but possibly its his partner pushing for it more. Nobody knows.

Time to get a new partner then

He wasn’t talking in tongues, made it crystal clear he was staying.
I’m not doubting you but if he does go he’s going to look really bad.
Maybe I’m wrong but I see him as a honest type.

himself in his own words in the media: "I'm not leaving next year"

Everyone else: not convinced.

 

[SonOfKek]

He has said it a few times now. He's not leaving, it was his turn to be put into trade rumours. He loves the club.

 

[Watto71]

I thought the same maybe Dan will be single by the weekend since he is now staying
