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.

    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...

    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

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
