Wouldn't that be likely to injure him? 

We should get the bloke that can throw the house!

TDK is a nice player, but I reckon they're going to shed a highly paid player soon. He's a difficult one, because they've already got two star forwards and a good ruckman, if I were them I'd be trying to turn TDK into another mid or even a Houston.

All reasons why we should throw the house at him

Meh.

We have way more pressing needs.

Like elite mids to support Viney, Clarry and Trac.

And half backs to help our transition game.

Houston and Cumming are still good ideas, Cumming is preferable given he only costs TPP.

Some on ground support for Max who can play forward……I’d be taking mids at the draft.

Isnt it just funny how, when it was Melbourne FC - a sure thing - it was 2 first round picks. Now its supposedly possible with Carltons Pick 11. Heck Doggies and Pies want him and they dont even have a first round pick.

With Trac and Kozzy re-committing. 

Doesn't surprise me that Houston may still pull the trigger for the deal.

Kossie never uncommitted it was over blown by the media.

Just the media doing their work to get all the good players to Cats, Blues or Pies.

According to an AFL and Gettable (paid partnership) Instagram post made 4 hours ago, he’s talking to four clubs… Pies, Dogs, Blues and Saints.

Perhaps we're looking elsewhere and moved on from someone who like him who would cost and arm and a leg and way too much for someone closing in on 30 years of age?

Hopefully it’s a sign that we intend to go to the draft with pick 5.

If trac is serious about his commitment to us then he should be organising a catch up with Dan and (re)sell us as a destination.

Hard to fathom that Houston basically nominated us as his preferred club until we imploded and went all MFC on everyone. We could had a 2 time reigning All Australian, a top 5 user of the football and arguably our best recruit in the Goodwin era.

Another reference below in relation to Houston's initial intentions - being the MFC as his club of choice before we stuffed everything up.

How do you know this is not just Port and Houston's management having a sook because we pulled our initial first round pick offer? 

Carlton don't want to take pick 11 for him, but we are expected to trade pick 5?

He may well still want to come to us, but Port may have cracked it and said its pick 5 or we won't trade.

You do realise that Houston has a say in the matter? We are out of the race. End of story.

I'm only going by separate reports from Jay Clark and Cal Twomey that the player himself has essentially changed his mind. When you get the same information from multiple media sources that are independent of each other you'd probably think there's validity in the claim.

In any respect, Houston is worth a top 5-10 pick given his recent achievements, and if he did nominate us (which he won't at this stage), then I'd be willing to trade pick 5 with a bit of change coming back our way due to his age.

Carlton should stump up pick 11 outright for Houston if they desperately want him.

It’s definitely Houston that doesn’t want to come to us anymore, all picks are on the table this year, including our future first

We want to take pick 5 to the draft. When we started the conversation with Houston our first pick was somewhere in the high teens. Connect the dots.

All picks being on the table,  and all picks being traded for all players is not the same thing.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
