News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

[port_adelaide_1870]

this has leppitsch written all over it, leaking a proposed deal to the media, with as active he has been in the media.

But Cal nearly always accurate.

Port. You are ........... the weakest link.

Actually looking a bit better for Port now , looks like Pies handing over pick 36 also. It’s a strong draft this year also.

 

[Anyonebutken]

We must be looking at splitting 13 probably with Sydney for 19 and 21, that would ease the pain a bit as your getting 2 high draft picks on top of luko and Richards. They are saying a player picked at 20 would be equivalent to a pick 7 or 8 in previous drafts.
Don't know let's see how it pans out but Atkins is just a waste of a list spot

 

[Hammer#8]

Just cancel the trade now, this is a farce

 

[SC_Power]

I have no words...

So 36 and 39 is a push
Similarly Atkins and 58
Similarly 13 and F1

Leaves Lukosius Richards 29 for Houston plus Ratkins salary.

I dunno how I feel about that. Probably dirty.

Better? The latest version of the trade is even worse for us.

It has us handing over 39 and 58 but only getting 36 back?

What's the point in that?!

Oh yeah start of with x2 first rounders as a minimum, but Rakins and pick 36, that’s just as good

RORY ATKINS LOL ARE WE ON CRACK?

It’s looking worse than even you expected

Not really, not in trade period

 

[Schulzenfest]

This trade is so bad we're getting ragged on by Aunty Donna for it

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

**** off campaigner

 

[YoungsterPA]

That is honestly one of the worst trades I’ve ever seen, please for the love of god don’t be correct.

It'd look okay if Houston was out of contract and we had to deal, but we just don't have to do it. We can just keep the best halfback in the league and not trade him for nothing.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

We can only hope someone at port has some brains and sees the negativity and stops Cripps before he makes a even worse trade than he did last year

Yep for our pick 39 and 54. Wacko.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

**** off campaigner

I do blame Ken

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

If we are giving up our F1 then WTF is the point of Ratkins coming in??????

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

get the feeling the after yesterdays meeting Houston’s manager strong armed us into accepting that Houston would not be coming back. Just have a hunch.

 

[Chachi]

Out of interest, who do people rate as the better player out of Houston and Luko?

Wow pick 36. All good now

 

[Schulzenfest]

As funny as it is to laugh about Atkins, that's distracting from the real issue. The real issue is we've essentially traded contracted dual AA Dan Houston

for a return of Ratugolea, Soldo, Richards and Atkins, all of whom could very conceivably not even be best 22 next year, while also giving up a first round pick for a guy who couldn't get a game for Gold Coast at the end of the year. This is the sort of trade Collingwood were making when they were in salary cap trouble and desperately needed to get rid of players in a fire sale. We're making it when we hold all the cards.

Even if you took the future first rounder out, it's not even a great deal, it's just adequate. We're basically losing the trade by a full first round pick. From a bargaining position where we held all the cards.

Out of interest, who do people rate as the better player out of Houston and Luko or are they about equal value?

Great question

Well bloody asked

 

[PAFC66]

In the end Leppitch will be laughing great start. What a basketcase we are.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

What is even this question.

Who is better Daicos or Jace Burgoyne
