Welcome to Collingwood - Dan Houston

[Big T]

Even better — he was favouring Carlton but they stuffed it up.

Umm… pick 3 in a super draft with guaranteed generational talent on top of their list. I don’t think they stuffed up.

We did well to get our man, but the blues will be very happy right now.

Super draft now
Paddy Dow says hello. They’ll stuff it up

Yeah there’s been lots of duds in recent times at pick 3 like Judd, Martin, Didak, McCluggage, Rankine, Sheezel etc.

I’m happy to land Houston but let’s face it, if we somehow got pick 3 we’d be partying like it’s 1999

[Culprit]

We now have 2 players that beat Essendon with a goal after the siren on the list

Thank You for my morning laugh.

I recall nothing to party about in the 1999 season

Tex will be terrific.

FWIW I was talking to a couple of Port supporters who are well involved in AFL and have played at SANFL level. Their take is that we definitely won on this trade - Houston is an absolute gun and they are spewing that they have lost him.

When you look at Freo just basically handed over 10 and 11 for Shai Bolton, I reckon we have done OK.

2023 AND 2024 Dual AA. Don't usually cost under 2 first-round picks.

Thats a hefty price regardless of his talent. We've been questioned over the cost of Schultz, and now Freo have done the same. So we'll see if they are as cocky now with the "thanks for the top 10 pick" comments.

He was drafted by the Port Adelaide Football Club with their third selection and 45th overall in the 2016 rookie draft.

Let's not go there, please!

Happy to have Dan join our list.

Not to piss on the parade here peeps, but please note he still has two games suspension to serve for his bump on Rankine.
He served three of those five matches during 2024 final series:

So I guess that counts him out for rounds 1 and 2; or... 0 and 1... or whatever Dildo balzes up in the pending 2025 fixture

[Charlie Oneeye]

I hope they dont have another round zero,

Occasionally I want to check our game day opponents 'In's' history, to see whether the player had come from injury or omission. Then I have to do a brain F. to correlate the round number lol

Incorrect, he has already served 4 of the 5 game suspension: the final regular season round, and 3 finals. His suspension came from the second last H&A game of the regular season.

[stui magpie]

Saw him on 7 news tonight, was an Okleigh Chargers team mate of Jordy and Darcy so already has relationships at the club.

^ Media report Nick Daicos was a big factor in getting Houston. How does Nick know Dan?? Bit of an age diff...
