Traded Jason Horne-Francis [to Port Adelaide in multi-club trade]

[philthy05]

Are GWS looking to use picks 3, 12, 15, 18 and 19 purely for the draft? Or do they want to get some players in via trade?

Maybe we could upgrade pick 33 or 43 for one those later picks and offer up Byrne-Jones or Bonner?

We genuinely need to trade away a player for 2nd round. Can't see it happening another way.

Hayes, Drew, Bonner, DBJ, Farrell. DBJ with most value in that lot perhaps as an All-Australian and club BnF although he was off it best this year. I know he just resigned but yeah either him or Drew

In all seriousness North have actually done fine out of this deal. So have West Coast. GWS showed up, bent over and handed over the lube to make it work for everyone else, and I salute them for it.

Yeah I think north have done well. What more can you hope for to get for a player that wants out than a similar pick + a future 1st on top. That’s a good deal.

Also west coast, despite people knocking them to get out of pick 2 and the private school vic boys and into hewett territory , whose not far behind, if at all those vic boys plus get another pick. That’s good for them.

Ports given up a lot, but the fact we get future 2nds and 3rds back helps a lot,

In the end rozee butters jhf Bergman sinn to look forward too in our midfield.

I really rate that group of players as a future midfield. High end young talent there.

 

[Rich01]

That is JHF for roughly pick 2 in value.

Why is he worth more than that? His value from when he was drafted has dropped if anything.

 

[Del191229]

Comments like these are pretty embarrassing mate. I get it’s frustrating that he has asked for a trade, but you can do better than this I am sure.

Which bit is inaccurate?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Why is he worth more than that? His value from when he was drafted has dropped if anything.

He was valued at 3 first rounders last year

He now has a year development into him and is still under contract

 

[Del191229]

Even if those highly defamatory comments were actually true all that does is make the Kangaroos look worse for still picking him.

Which bit is defamatory?

 

[Brian McGee]

He was valued at 3 first rounders last year

He now has a year development into him and is still under contract

You know he wasn’t. It was 3 with an end of first coming back. So 2 and what turned out to be a 6 pick downgrade.

 

[King_Tredrea]

So, North on day 1 came out and said 8 and F1 is not enough for JHF. West Coast have said 33 is not enough for Rioli. So in what logic have you come to the conclusion that without players going out that these same picks are enough to get both players across?

Rioli will be PSD. They can say whatever they want on Day 1, that has no bearing on whether or not they end up accepting the deal

 

[The Nostradamus]

Rioli will be PSD. They can say whatever they want on Day 1, that has no bearing on whether or not they end up accepting the deal

Lol we’ll just take him in the psd before you

Then next year you can try get both off us

 

[Rich01]

He was valued at 3 first rounders last year

Three first rounders and the first pick of the second round back (as North fans constantly remind everyone).

He didn’t have question marks on his professionalism back then. Value has declined because of that. No guarantee he will be elite.

Not sure how much development we have seen from him in his year at North. A few games with some excellent passage of play. Anything else that suggests progress over his stellar under 18 year?

 

[King_Tredrea]

Lol we’ll just take him in the psd before you

Then next year you can try get both off us

No, you won’t. No one else will be taking Rioli

 

[Del191229]

8, 33 and next years first most certainly gets it done

I'm hearing we're moving to the keep Jason stage now.

Clarkson going to pull out the whole 9 yards, using his contacts to get the best sports psych from the NBA/NFL, offer to move the family over, they'll do the freakin' Kokoda Track together etc.

If Port won't come to the party with a good player, we're keeping him.

You wonder if this wasn't Clarkson's play the whole time.

Agree to his trade request last week knowing Port would try and lowball, then say no dice, and say see Jason, we did the right thing by you but Port just wouldn't pony up and they left you high and dry.

But don't worry, its a different North now and then work his magic.

JHF is not fond of Al Clarkson. He won’t be going back to North Melbourne

Cos of unfounded allegations?

He was in awe of him prior

The deal will absolutely get done, and Clarksons career is done

 

[Del191229]

How do you know? He was saying the opposite recently.

It's the playing group that's his problem, they all hate him for stuff he did well before Clarkson.

 

[Rich01]

I'm hearing we're moving to the keep Jason stage now.

That would be the worst result for all parties, but particularly North.

A deal will get done. The posturing of posters from both sides in this thread would be nothing like how both clubs are acting to work together to get it done.

 

[Del191229]

I agree that Riverboat Ken will crack, he's staking his whole career on this now.

Clarkson will be coaching us in Rd1 next year, having taken up the reins on November 1 as contracted.

After all the shit north supporters have said about him and probably messaged him. With the players probably hating him, you actually think anyone him or north want him back next year. Nah

 

[the big lebowski]

Not sure how much development we have seen from him in his year at North. A few games with some excellent passage of play. Anything else that suggests progress over his stellar under 18 year?

Well he was the third highest ranked 18 year old in the afl according to champion data. Almost second. In a team that lost by 10 goals every week.

And he had a better first year statistically than

Judd
Fyfe
Danger
Petracca
Cripps
Pendlebury

To name a few.

 

[Del191229]

I agree the players hate him for his weak squibbery and disgracing himself on field, especially after they stuck up for him and he repaid them with this crap.

But we're not selling him cheap, we've got the best coach of the modern era and he's going to have a proper crack at getting the best out of him unless Port pay up.

Delusional, Clarksons own statement said he will not return Nov 1. He needs to defend himself. His career literally has a good chance to be over

I can see Clarko rocking up to the Horne-Francis household with his battered acoustic and giving his very best rendition of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to seal the deal.

 

[Rich01]

So he dropped down a couple of spots from his original draft ranking of one.

 

[bh90210fan]

How’s the cheek from Port thinking they can grab three of the leagues hottest young stars for a couple of midrange first rounders and half a granita

So he had more than a couple of nice passages of play?

You’re gunna be real mad when we pull it off
