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.

I hope not. 


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

Think Port end up with pick 13 Dub.

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

This may all have to do with the TV coverage to ensure a large viewing.

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.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
