Houston was a 2023 All Australian.

Houston is tracking towards a 2024 All Australian as suggested by Kane Cornes who is on the committee himself. I note that he wasn't in the mid season mock All Australian sides but appears to have stepped up his game in the second half of the year. Champion Data have him as the top 5 best user of the footy in the league. 

Imagine having an MFC player that is in the top 5 users of the prune in the league.

Last year against Essendon, Houston kicked what I consider to be the best after the siren winning goal behind Mal Blight in the mid 70's.

To be potentially a back to back All Australian means you're a player at the absolute peak of your career and clearly an A to A+ grade player. That in anyone's language is worth a pick 7.

The risk I concede is that Houston is probably having the best 2 seasons of his career, and may not be able to replicate them again if he were to cross over to the MFC.

Cornes is doing what we'd hope Lyon would do for us.

Pump up Houston's value so Cornes' club gets a premium return.

For as much of [censored] Cornes can be wrt to his style of journalism, he does at least try to make no secret that he still loves his club and will use himself to push an agenda. The way JUH has escaped scrutiny is another example.

I heard Lyon try real hard yesterday morning as to why Gawn shouldn't get a 7th AA jacket. I couldnt beleive it.

How JUH escaped scrutiny? For what?

Just general attitude problems, inconsistency etc. Kornes has really been the only one defending him in the public forum. If he had been a player at any other club, he would have been all over him. Case and point H.Reid and his comments around his fitness earlier this year.

That makes sense. JUH’s last month has been very impressive and his year overall has been pretty good.

only from a media narrative

he has no sway or involvement in negotiations

he's also a pear legend and jason cripps' close mate, so unsurprising he'd want to see them 'do well' in negotiations

meaningless medja bleating at the end of the day

Of course, I just meant creating pressure from the media end.

Agree with all this except the Kalani "might choose us". Crazy sort of wrist slashing mate.

Experiencing the full spectrum of the emotional scale means one can TRULY appreciate the good times. 

Living in lala land means one is avoidant and what ever will you have living in Lala land to compare to? 

Moony and I sleep sweetly knowing that after our weekly nightmares, a lala dream is on the horizon.

Dan plays well at HB. A pick early to mid 20's at best for a 28 year old HB..

Spending 1st rounders on 28 year old HB's a few years before Tassy comes in borders on stupidity.

ANB is a way better player and does it in tougher field positions.  Would you expect 2 1st rounders for ANB?

Just some perspective.

 

Sounds like we're trading for him and we're probably going to have to make peace with the fact it will cost us pick 6.

Maybe if we split the pick, he ain't worth a top 10 pick, around pick 16-20

Its game playing ATM. No way we give up an early 1st rounder. The MFC would clearly understand that. We may split our early pick.

May was traded for a pick 6.

I hope we aren’t that dumb.

You do not trade pick 6 for a 27yo half back flanker, unless their name is Corey Enright. Dan Houston isn’t in the same universe.

Future first and change or they can get stuffed.

 

He’s a very good player and should command a good deal for Port. I think he will clearly make us better but won’t help us win a premiership. Personally I think and hope we try and get an extra pick in the top 25 rather than giving these picks away.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
