Past #6: Jason Horne-Francis - NM have been informed by JHF's management that he will seek a trade to SA [contracted for 2023]

[DarkPhoenix]

Noble:
He embraced being the number 1 pick "very much so"
One of the most determined young men I've been involved with.
Didn't phase him at all.
Wanted the club not to bid on others.
He embraced Melbourne, and North Melbourne, made some good friends.
When I left I thought there was a clear direction for him to take and thought Alastair was a really good signing for him.

The blokes a certified genius.

The first alarm bell went off when he added Francis to his name.

Is this the same Francis that Port delisted in 2001 after a pay dispute? I am sure he will be busting to have Jason play there.

It is more likely Clarkson being caught up in this Hawthorn shit was a bridge too far after a rather crap year.

 

[Flawed Genius]

If he embraced Melbourne then why is he leaving it with both Brady and Chris Davies stating JHF is "incredibly homesick"

**** off Nobes

Rawlings (10am): No, the club doesn't think that the Clarkson stuff has had any effect.

Barrett (3pm): North as a club are convinced the Clarkson stuff has had a direct effect on this decision.

‘North have convinced itself’.

My god.

This campaigner.

Barrett runs with lines he hears, not with facts.

It was even on their bloody show. Absolute cracker.

if by some magical reason this is a “Clarko” thing, I believe it being unlikely, then Mav can suck my balls even more HOWEVER, I think 800k x 4 years is pretty ****ing delicious for an abusive step father and a kid who will turn 20. Oh and a grubby filthy managers commission.

 

[the flying ham]

It's pretty clear from what I've been told today, that the reports of his team mates not liking him prior to this, were accurate.

Care to elaborate Psi?

We can use this to our advantage and site real material damage and press harder (I am sure they already are) for a fast resolution or possibly that he can resume and they will let it happen. Still have the investigation hanging of course. Not sure what the AFL could or would offer as compensation but if there is a direct link then we can certainly ask, and with some weight behind it.

 

[speedy]

Listening to the late trade on trade radio.
In the words of Noble himself, 3 "campaigners" talking a lot of sh!t.

[My Left Foote]

Am I understanding this correctly that JHF is saying that we weren't good enough for him? This petulant kid who isn't prepared to do proper rehab and could have been dropped every week for similar things? I'll be so glad to see the back of him.

Sorry to North supporters. Crows fans know what it's like and this is a bit of a shit sandwich for both our sides. Hopefully you guys can bleed Port dry.

Pretty much what has already been said tbh. Just that he didn't seem to be making many close friends and not the easiest bloke to be with. Generalisations I suppose but it just adds to the other stuff being said.
