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...

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
