I realise that getting a no. 1 pick may titillate some members of the media in the short term, but we already have Thomas who can do things that no one else in the league can and Zurhaar who is probably one of the most left of field and likeable characters going around. Adding to them will be great but it won’t change a thing. North won’t get extra Friday night games until we are bashing the door down going for a premiership.
Listen to how lackadaisical the commentators are when one of young guns flies for a mark, when we go coast to coast for a goal or when Cam kicks a bullshit goal. It’s basically crickets compared to other hyped media darlings.
Horne-Francis will help generate some interest, but most importantly will help us win games.
Apologies for being a downer.
You’re spot on, there’s plenty of X-factor players on our list already which the media will fawn over once we start ‘bashing down the door’ of the top 8/top 4. Thomas, Zurhaar, LDU, Stephenson, Ford, et al.
Not to mention Powell, Phillips, Atu, Curtis who all bring something different to the table.
