The Dan Houston Thread



Recommended Posts

Would be a very handy addition. Houston's inclusion at half back would free up Rivers to become a permanent mid. He's a great kick and would provide plenty of run.

At his age he should come pretty cheap too

You think?

He won't be cheap imo.

I guess it's what you are thinking we will have to give up for him compared to his quality level. All Australian last year. Contracted for another 2 years.

The contracted part worries me, you'd be giving up a lot for him

But looking at your avatar, we have the ability to draft guns with later picks and rookie selections. Maybe it's time to get some ready made players with our first round picks in the teens to beef up the midfield and overall playing list as the kids develop!

Gun. You’d happily give up a 2025 or 2026 first rounder for him especially with us having F/S and academy players coming through in those years.

Two first rounders for a guy who's 27??? Yeh, nah

And highy, highly assumptive that f/s draftees will nominate us. Kalani White is by no means over the line

But we could get 15 McVee's with the picks we'd give up!

I’d be more interested in trading for him if Harrison is dead set on getting to SA it shouldn’t matter Crows or Port.

The club already knows where Kalani is playing.

My bad, I thought he was 30.

Not sure where I got that number but I thought I heard it said he was.

Interesting that we're interested in another half back. If Petty was set on returning to SA and we got Houston and their first rounder, we could make the best of a bad situation.

Would rather keep Petty though.

We have, actually, in the context of this year's carnival. A bit underwhelming, it has seemed. I sometimes wonder if 'his footy' has been less about Kalani and more about Jeff...

i think he's a 16 year old very tall, very skinny kid who has already played 'up' in a very strong allies side

he's rated, clearly

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.

    LAST DANCE by The Oracle

    Forget the wishful thinking from Magpie fans who think their team can perform yet another miracle and somehow snatch a place in the 2024 finals series when their team takes on the Demons at the MCG on Friday night. It ain’t gunna happen. They can whistle Dixie through their non-existent front teeth but the fact of the matter is that both teams have run their race. The game is a dead rubber — for each of them, this will be the last dance of the season.  And given the history between the two

    RED FACED by Whispering Jack

    The wind and the hot unseasonable temperatures together with lights turned on mid game at People First Stadium conspired to leave many Suns players and supporters red faced and gasping for air as the Demons proved a number of points on their way to a nine goal triumph on Saturday afternoon in the Carrara sunshine. Melbourne is the only non-Queensland team to taste victory at this venue in 2024. This surely leaves a number of journalists and media mavens red faced after they rushed to pass

    CRASH LANDING by KC from Casey

    The Gold Coast is putting on a fabulous extravaganza this weekend in the form of the Pacific Airshow. Residents in this part of the world have been treated to a magnificent aerial pageant with a jet-powered spectacle of acrobatics and the excitement of sky diving in the skies over Surfers Paradise.  Meanwhile, the AFL matches at nearby Carrara have been relegated to the status of a mere sideshow to the dare-devilry in the air although it should be said that the Casey Demons managed to get i
