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

[ams4crows]

Which was the big question to me as to how genuine the offer was, or whether it was to put Sydney to task

If we pulled off the pick 1 deal we would have taken Dawson in the preseason draft

 

[Crow till I die]

If we pulled off the pick 1 deal we would have taken Dawson in the preseason draft

or North Melbourne's 2nd rounder that we would have got back in the deal?

 

[Sanders]

Let's just hope that Nobes is at the negotiating table.

Can't anchor on the Horne-Francis deal.

Let’s not forget how bad he was at that deal.

First, second and the equivalent of Ben Davis.

He didn’t get a second first round pick because Geelong wanted to use it to trade to Carlton for Lachie Henderson

Well its official now..

 

[CharlieCrow]

Let's not kid ourselves - it will be Port.

 

[Bernie L]

I'm yet to see this guy get one right.

I can't help thinking that JHF next move is of extraordinary consequence for so many people.
Just imagine if he recommitted to North. It's literally a life buoy to the struggling club. Thousands of supporters affected and the club can use the extension as a foundation for future talent attraction and retention.

If he wants to leave, it's life threatening to the club...in my opinion.

It's actually a very difficult position for a teenager to be in. He might want out, but if it leaves a disastrous effect behind. Nobody would want to be "that person".

We are suggesting that this is North's Dangerfield moment which is somewhat right. It's actually closer to their Chris Grant moment. The future of our club wasn't threatened by Danger leaving. Their club looks desperately precarious.... just like the Doggies did back in the day.

This dilemma makes for great BF banter, but this trade matters more than most.

i don't think it's that meaningful if he leaves. They'll be adequately compensated and it's not like they're losing a heart and soul player, he's only been there for 5 minutes.

 

[relapse]

Let's not kid ourselves - it will be Port.

If he leaves North then I'm about 99% sure it will be to Port.

There's way too many emotional ties there.

More at Fremantle than Port

reckon we can offer a fair bit more $ and have more capital to get a deal done. Need Port to win a few more games and finish in the top half dozen though.

Plus we're only about 4-5 goals a game better than the two worst sides in the comp. Barely out of rabble territory ourselves.

Nah his step Dad Fabian Francis who he loves so much he changed his name to include his, was an inaugural Power player.
He'll probably end up there. But if we could jag him it would set us up for 10 years.

but our coach is a great guy and he can go into his office and talk about life and stuff.

What emotional ties? His old man didnt exactly have a great ending there, he didnt barrack for them growing up, and he lived / played as far away from them as possible in Adelaide. It will come down to who has the most $ and future, and if this year what satisfies North’s demands (likely 2 first rounders a d a player). Still might be Port, but this idea he has some greater tie to our mates down in Alberton is purely false.

Don’t you think it would be appealing to him to go a top 6 if they can make it happen

to speak to him on why he chose Crows over Port, from all reports loves it with us and confident he made the right choice.

they need to be able to satisfy Roos though. All players buy the sell if you're offering a fair bit more than others. Not that we necessarily would.

Well, that's fine by me. He actually looks and acts like a Port player. I'd rather not have someone with his carry-on at the Crows, especially at a grossly-inflated price. Port can go through all of that.

Needs. BBQ at Kirky’s instead of Roo

Thought he met with Port Power Mother’s Day weekend when he flew home without telling Norf

That needs to go to the rumours thread

Didn’t that make it here? I’m not on here that much, thought it was here I read it? Must’ve been messaged to me by someone then. I didn’t think much of it as it didn’t surprise me

Could be mistaken………… that’s a first for me

 

[Sanders]

Doesn’t do the team things, won’t work defensively, doesn’t accept coaching, argues on field with teammates, ill-disciplined: expect a suspension this week…

This guy is a train wreck waiting to happen unless he starts to pull his head in and accept that talent isn’t enough

He clearly wants out, and Noble’s North is a terrible place to learn professional standards and behaviours but he’s a head up his ass diva out there at the moment

Will the penny drop?
