Carlton fans are worried Walsh's ongoing back issues will limit his ability to play at his best and Cerra's repeated hamstrings will limit his ability to play at his best. 

Houston may find that it challenging to align Port's value on him with what draft pick/s clubs offer for him. 

Carlton are far from perfect. They are just a safer bet than us right now.

Hawthorn - picks tied to Barrass, the Dogs - no need for back flankers, the Pies - ageing but high quality, no first rounder are the Melb teams I’d want to join right now. 

Port won’t get what they want, but the might get close to it and if they’re far enough down the track to replacing him they might have to do the deal. If Port are serious about keeping him they might have to abandon their free agency plans very quickly.

    Had a yarn with a Port supporter this morning in regard to why Port didn't contest the charge to get the 5 weeks downgraded

     

    I believe that Port are certain that Houston is leaving and had no reason to have his suspension shortened to help out his new FC in 2025

    Looks like your Port fan is wrong, Port challenged the suspension.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Houston is a Dee next year.

    If he doesn't have his charge reduced at the appeals board, then I reckon you are spot on 🙃

    They are contesting it?

    And have great lawyers 😁

    Apparently Dan Houston is good mates with Jack Silvagni FWIW.

    Ultimately if Port are asking too much, interest will cool.

    I also think a deal will get done and also think he will be at the Dees.

    It's all just media speculation at this point to get clicks.

    If Port are looking to bring in either Perryman or Cumming then they will likely need to let Houston go. I highly doubt we will be trading 2 first round picks without getting something in return.

    Plenty to play out and it will probably go deep into the trade period.

    If we get Houston it's guaranteed that we play Adelaide in Adelaide next year... in fact they'll probably give us the same back to back Adelaide games [censored] they did this year.

    Happy with that if we gets the same results (only not to back up after 5 days again)

    But maybe that was just 'rumoured' to help with negotiations and forcing us to pay more for a supposedly reluctant player.

    I didn't think of that, is it something you might do Sue or something someone did to you?

    Not saying it doesn't warrant five weeks.

    But certainly stating how unjust it was that Maynard got zilch.

    Seriously wth?

    AFL is a poor joke at times.

    Houston’s appeal failed, let’s hope Port take the long way to the GF so he doesn’t miss R1 for us.

    I suspect the majority of this forum will be hoping we keep our high draft picks instead :laugh:

    What's more likely, Houston staying at Port, or Port winning a flag under Ken?

    I think it's a bit of a posture game at the moment, it seems MFC, Ess, Carl all aren't willing to meet Ports asking price trade wise, either they soften or he stays.

    Port have been known to soften around this time of the year

    Do people think if Port do make the GF he might want to stay.  That feeling of missing out?

    Hopefully we get him, if we win this weekend and end up with pick 9-10 I'm happy giving thst up for him.

    Pick 6 or 7 is overs but sometimes gotta give that up to pry someone out.

    Two first rounders is laughable and just Port putting up an initial price.

    we're going to have pick 5-7 before nga and academy

    i'm loathe to trade it

    if we can split it into two and trade one first rounder for him, fine

    i think our 2025 1st rounder is 100% on the table with tairon ah-mu and kalani white set to come in

    The likely 2025 crop is also a tall one, so we can go all in on mids in 2024.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
