Port Adelaide list manager Jason Cripps has categorically rejected reporting on the club’s board becoming involved in Dan Houston trade discussions.

The Power were a crucial part of the three-club, five-player deal which was confirmed on Tuesday, which saw Houston head to Collingwood, John Noble go to Gold Coast and Port Adelaide gain Joe Richards, Jack Lukosius and Rory Atkins.
