Strategy Jason Horne-Francis: North trade him to Port for massive unders

[radiojake]

so North effectively traded 2 x consecutive #1 picks, for picks #2 & #3 and Port's first Rounder next year + chump change

They gave away their F3 too.

Silvagni's response is interesting

He said that he would have held Port to ransom and would have demanded an unbelievable deal or held Rankine for another 12 months.

We know what he would do as he did it with us and Gibbs

 

[ams4crows]

100% - I understand that West Coast need as much youth as they can, but giving up a top 2 pick is ridiculous for what they got in return

Not when if they held pick 2 It would have been a Vic metro kid who probably would leave a shit west coast 8 12 give the most likely 2 WA prospects.

 

[Peter Doherty]

If Port Power miss the 8 next year and Collingwood and Freo are top 4, they then have a poor draft hand next year.

They will then likely look to move a player out for a pick.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Stephen Rowe and this thread's negative energy spirit bomb is not enough for Horne-Francis' desire to come home.

Good trading by your mob, but your depth will be non existent soon with no draft picks in the first 3 rounds the next 2 years.
Also better hope his performances in the future match the hype to justify the cost..... our bid to get JHF last year would've cost us Rachele, Rankine and Dawson

They've still got 33 this year

 

[Plugger46]

If only the Crows realized it was that easy

I got a lot of backlash from other members last week for saying that we just sit on our hands every trade period...
Port have gotten two really good players and didn't really give up to much to get them...

Pick 33 now turns into Estava
once again they win the trade period while we jut sat on our hands to get Rankine...

At least Reid is not Rawlings. That is diabolical.

Rankine is a bloody good get though

Jokes on them, soon they'll have nothing but the best young stable of midfielders in the league. Lol.

 

[GameofSloanes]

It seems West Coast got reamed in the deal

They must be planning for multiple delistings and need additional picks under 40

 

[ams4crows]

I can't believe North just gave up Cadman and Horne Francis. For Wardlaw and Sheezel.... And like pick 13 next year???

 

[DJ75]

So North gave up 4 first round picks (the 3 we offered plus pick 2 this year) for that?
Bahahahahahahahahahha

Just fold them already. What a joke of a club.

From our perspective- thank God they did.

 

[Danger in Texas]

1. Port
2. Daylight
3. GWS
4. West Coast
5. A shit-ton of daylight
6. North

 

[GROTTO]

They did to get Rioli essentially chucked in for free.

GWS - even
Port - winners
North - reamed
West Coast - reamed

I dont care, Port may have JHF to add to their midfield.

But we still have Matt Crouch.

 

[ams4crows]

For Ratagolea

Remains to be seen, but possibly.
Still wasn't good enough to make the finals

Esava isnt AFL standard. There's a reason Geelong didn't play him.

Rioli is a bog average player.

JHF though.. well played Port.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Will be used in a Ratugolea deal.

As I said above, Power still do have a 2nd and 3rd next year (Collingwood's and Freo's).

Cadman mustn’t be first on their board

That makes the 1 to 2 + first rounder part make sense. But JHF for 3 and chump change? Wtf

Cats have already said 33 is not enough or have I missed something?

It's nowhere near prime.

They'll make finals before we do, and are now miles ahead on building a premiership list.

Project a showdown in three years time- their third best midfielder likely better than our first.

 

[ams4crows]

Good on Port for absolutely stealing JHF for a packet of chips.

Shame on North for being inept at basically ever facet of the game

 

[FR0GGY]

Rawlings now driving around in a new MG?
