AFL: It has been reported that Port Adelaide would trade Dan Houston to the Melbourne Demons in return for two first round picks.
Craig McRae is refusing to put a line through Collingwood’s premiership defence and says “we’re not there yet” on deciding the futures of his ageing stars.
Magpies champions Scott Pendlebury, 37, and Steele Sidebottom, 34, are having regular conversations with McRae as the season goes on, but the coach said those talks were about “the now”.Craig McRae says it would not be respectful to begin talks on the futures of star veterans Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom.

“Funnily enough, when it’s a premiership list it’s bulletproof, and then when it’s not, it’s got holes everywhere in it,” he said. Collingwood sits a game-and-a-half outside the top eight with the lowest percentage of the top 13 sides ahead of Sunday’s clash with Richmond.
