UPDATE, 3:54pm: After earlier stalling, a five player “mega deal” involving three clubs has finally been done which will see Dan Houston go to Collingwood and Jack Lukosius, Joe Richards and Rory Atkins land at Port Adelaide.
EARLIER…
A deal that would’ve seen wantaway Power star Dan Houston land at Collingwood has been abandoned.
According to news.com.au:
Dan Houston was on the brink of being a Collingwood player, but Port Adelaide wasn’t having it.
The dual all-Australian Power player was linked to joining the Pies as one of five players included in a trade that also featured the Gold Coast Suns…
AFL Media’s Callum Twomey however later reported on Monday night that the deal was pulled off the table by the Power.
The deal would’ve seen Collingwood land Houston and pick 58 while the Power would’ve walked away with picks 13, 29 and 36 along with Jack Lukosious, Joe Richards and Rory Atkins. The Suns would’ve picked up John Noble, Pick 39 and two future first-round picks (one from Port, one from Collingwood).
Houston’s future now remains up in the air with less than 36 hours left in the trade period.
