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

Houston is already a whipping boy and he doesn’t even play for us yet

My mail is that Houston is off to the Saints. 5/6 years at $850 per year.

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
