Carlton fans are worried Walsh's ongoing back issues will limit his ability to play at his best and Cerra's repeated hamstrings will limit his ability to play at his best. 

Houston may find that it challenging to align Port's value on him with what draft pick/s clubs offer for him. 

Carlton are far from perfect. They are just a safer bet than us right now.

Hawthorn - picks tied to Barrass, the Dogs - no need for back flankers, the Pies - ageing but high quality, no first rounder are the Melb teams I’d want to join right now. 

Port won’t get what they want, but the might get close to it and if they’re far enough down the track to replacing him they might have to do the deal. If Port are serious about keeping him they might have to abandon their free agency plans very quickly.

Had a yarn with a Port supporter this morning in regard to why Port didn't contest the charge to get the 5 weeks downgraded

 

I believe that Port are certain that Houston is leaving and had no reason to have his suspension shortened to help out his new FC in 2025

Looks like your Port fan is wrong, Port challenged the suspension.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Houston is a Dee next year.

If he doesn't have his charge reduced at the appeals board, then I reckon you are spot on 🙃

They are contesting it?

I wouldn’t be surprised either.

And have great lawyers 😁

Apparently Dan Houston is good mates with Jack Silvagni FWIW.

Ultimately if Port are asking too much, interest will cool.

I also think a deal will get done and also think he will be at the Dees.

It's all just media speculation at this point to get clicks.

If Port are looking to bring in either Perryman or Cumming then they will likely need to let Houston go. I highly doubt we will be trading 2 first round picks without getting something in return.

Plenty to play out and it will probably go deep into the trade period.

 

If we get Houston it's guaranteed that we play Adelaide in Adelaide next year... in fact they'll probably give us the same back to back Adelaide games [censored] they did this year.

Happy with that if we gets the same results (only not to back up after 5 days again)

But maybe that was just 'rumoured' to help with negotiations and forcing us to pay more for a supposedly reluctant player.

I didn't think of that, is it something you might do Sue or something someone did to you?

He plays for Port.

Not saying it doesn't warrant five weeks.

But certainly stating how unjust it was that Maynard got zilch.

Seriously wth?

AFL is a poor joke at times.

I read it as get ready for the Houston boos from Crow fans for knocking out one of their own. 

Houston’s appeal failed, let’s hope Port take the long way to the GF so he doesn’t miss R1 for us.

I suspect the majority of this forum will be hoping we keep our high draft picks instead :laugh:

What's more likely, Houston staying at Port, or Port winning a flag under Ken?

I think it's a bit of a posture game at the moment, it seems MFC, Ess, Carl all aren't willing to meet Ports asking price trade wise, either they soften or he stays.

Port have been known to soften around this time of the year

Do people think if Port do make the GF he might want to stay.  That feeling of missing out?

Hopefully we get him, if we win this weekend and end up with pick 9-10 I'm happy giving thst up for him.

Pick 6 or 7 is overs but sometimes gotta give that up to pry someone out.

Two first rounders is laughable and just Port putting up an initial price.

we're going to have pick 5-7 before nga and academy

i'm loathe to trade it

if we can split it into two and trade one first rounder for him, fine

i think our 2025 1st rounder is 100% on the table with tairon ah-mu and kalani white set to come in

The likely 2025 crop is also a tall one, so we can go all in on mids in 2024.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
