That doesn't look great for Port. They've gone from wanting 2 first round picks to taking one, some hot and cold players, and giving a future first. 

Also wasn't North offering one of their early pics? Wasn't Dan initially saying he doesn't mind who he goes to? Was that just to appear accommodating because he is in essence requesting this trade for more $$ and a bigger contract

Yeah I thought Port were copping a bad deal there, if you believe Houston is worth 2x first rounders. 
 

Sense GC & Coll were keen to bundle all the deals together and Port realised late that giving up that future first rounder just didn’t make sense.
 

Collingwood will need to give more than fringe players and a future first rounder to make this work.

Hoping Collingwood get desperate now and do something silly to get 13 from Gold Coast, then trade their F1 too.

Possible.  Wright is well out of the picture now and Fly is on record as saying he wants players, not picks.

Nothing would satisfy me more than watching Macrae leave Collingwood in tatters in 2 years with an old list, no youngsters and no first round picks, all the while we've gone all Baby Demons and won a flag.

Really hope that the Suns refuse to trade Pies Pick 13 if it’s not part of a bigger trade. Pick 23 is more than enough for Noble and they have other takers for 13.

Do we make a cheeky offer of pick 9 for Houston?

That's worse than the Pies offer. Plus Houston doesn't want to come to us, so move on.

Is Houston actually any good or overhyped cause of the draft?
He's never caught my attention.

CEO.
I've no doubt that BC would operate by the letter of the (AFL) law as regards player payments but if there are any loopholes, and I've no doubt there are, he'd find them.
An example would be the prospect of Clarry going to Geelong and taking a pay cut. I mean, really?

I'm sure Brian Cook is an ethical man. The PwC bloke, however...

Yes please.

But I know that ship has sailed.

Absolute gun.

Reigning 2 X All Australian and has previously kicked the winning goal after the siren from 55 meters out in wet conditions are probably an indication

Right you are Colm. 

Confusing tweet from Morris, he goes on to speculate about 13 to Pies in the Noble deal with Suns. 

my brain hurts

Meh ... Just looked and he's 27yrs old.
When I think of Port it's Wines, Butters, Rozee and Horn-Francis who come to mind.
Not Houston.
Must be an accumulator, someone who gets the ball a shedload but does nothing with it.
And if he was any good, I'd know who he was and Port would be better than they are.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
