The Pies can have him

F1 and second rounder at least

He won’t be the difference although a good player

    It’s really disappointing.   Dees had him interested and it was likely we were his preferred destination.  Now he’s off to probably either the filthy Pies or the arrogant Blues.  FFS.  This whole Petracca & Oliver mess has caused us damage.  It’s a mess !!!

    Not for mine. Pick 5 plus trade to get another first rounder and take that to the draft. Much better for the club long-term than another player in his late 20's (or getting there). 

    We're going to be losing a LOT of our key players over the next 4-5 years, starting with Melksham and McDonald next year, May the following year, Gawn and Viney the year after that.

    VIC POWERHOUSE ALL BUT RULED OUT OF HOUSTON RACE

    Carlton appear almost certainly out of the race for dual All-Australian Dan Houston, as Collingwood’s bid for the Power star strengthens.

    The Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph reported on Thursday morning that given the Blues’ assurance they will head to the draft with their first-round pick, their ability to acquire Houston at an optimal price for Port Adelaide seems long gone.

    Subsequently, it now looks as if only the Magpies and North Melbourne can move him out of Alberton.

    And while the Kangaroos are obviously behind the Pies in the pecking order, their favourable draft hand and openness to trade a future first-round pick leaves them still in the hunt.

    Joe Richards’ request to leave Collingwood for Port Adelaide has assisted the Pies’ negotiations on Houston significantly, with Ralph also reporting that “extensive meetings” have taken place between the Power, Magpies and Houston’s management in the last 24 hours.

    Houston has not officially nominated a club of choice, but it is the understanding of most at this stage that Collingwood is a preferred destination.

    Interesting how the whole AFL media fraternity are ramping up Houston to the Filth for steak knives and a future 1st.

    I think you will find Joe Richards to the Power is what will get the deal done with 13 and whatever else.

    Seems like the Pies are going all in to try for another flag now. They will be in bad shape when Tassie sucks out the best of the draft and trade market in a few years time.

    Agree, as they have one of, if not the oldest list in the AFL.

    They won't be able to replace the older players with high end talent on Tassie's arrival.

    So, looking like a 3-team deal between Pies, GC and PA

    Players involved would be Noble (GC), Richards and Lukosius (PA) and Houston (COLL) with obvious pick swaps

    I’m sure we would be. But zero chance the Suns would take that deal

    Im sure we would be offering a better deal than that for pick 13 also

    GC want pick 13 to go to Port, so they can freely trade their F1 to GC for Lukosius.

    <aybe or around the same but the Pies won't have that offer accepted.

    Collingwoods F1 is unders for pick 13.

    It's not often that decent players want to get to the Suns. They'll "overpay" to make Rioli and Noble happen like they did with Weller.

    GWS and GC still have draft picks out the ying-yang because of the flow on from their concessions and players leaving. Draft picks are less valuable to them because they have plenty.

    F1 + Noble probably gets 13 + 29. A good deal for Collingwood.

    They have 12 players that will be 29yo or over at the start of the season 2025. I'd say they are putting all their eggs in the one basket

    De Goey also will be 29 in March.

    Maynard 29 during finals next year.

    Markov 29 in May.

    They are going to cop a big talent hit over next couple of years.

    Prob lucki Houston doesn’t want to come to us cause we would prob give pic 5 (cause we are easy to deal with) which would be not a good outcome for us.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
