Player Watch Jason Horne-Francis - You were always one of us

[Cam1870]

As port v NM will be such a ratings bonanza I think we should play NM twice next year. In fact let's play them 10x... for the good of the competition

 

[Janey]

I know our club isn't perfect, but in all the years I've been following Port I have never seen any of our players treated so disgracefully, by other players or the club as a whole, when they have moved to another club, whatever the reasons. Whenever we play against teams with ex-players our guys always have a chat after the siren goes, on social media they pretty much always wish players the best when they move on. It pays dividends.

 

[Chrizzt]

We can rule out increased Norf traffic as to why BF is struggling

To be fair, their Board has the third most posts of any club, behind crows and Carlton

 

[Kickpuncher]

What number would suit him best?

If I had to guess Id say Butters will inherit the 9 and JHF could jump into the 18.

Or he could just don the 6 again.

I said similar last night. I would be embarrassed and disgusted if port players carried on the way North players are right now.

But how they only have 6 supporters

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Give him #9

 

[manureid]

Love how many times the Tinpot Adelaide media had to ask him questions about the Crows.

 

[johnny999]

Suck a big fat one norf you good for nothing impostors..as if we were going to send you a player like Butters to your pathetic organisation..can’t wait to give you another thrashing next season you poor bastards

True.

Although fair to say that Troy Chaplin's 2012 departing email to Port players made future Tigers v Port games he played in....spicy.

Their poor behaviour is exacerbated by the professionalism show by both Port and Amon

Incoming players have to earn single digit numbers at Port. Giving a rookie Robbie's number straight up would not sit well with me.

 

[Adz2332]

Love that he has some swagger about him. Reminds me of Buckley

 

[longdonkey]

Bombers/Geelong:
Out: 22 + 42
In: 25 + 33

Luko was very over rated, he has hardly set the AFL world on fire

Luko playing out of position - mobile CHF in a winning team he'll be a different player.

#1

Give him a few years though

 

[Harlott]

There it is. Stability!

 

[Lagooner]

No they don’t. Sinn got 8 straight up.

This is fine in theory but Ryder, Burton, Sinn and Motlop didn't have to.

Powell-Pepper #2
Sinn #8

Yes: he may like number six (with Motlop retiring)

 

[Festerz]

No they don’t. Sinn got 8 straight up.

Yeah well spotted guys. My bad.

An off the cuff gut post that wasn't thought through.

Take that post and burn it.

Compare the pair. This mega deal was the largest ever, involving 4 clubs, 14 picks, 2 players and picks 1, 2 and 3 were shifted in this deal, when 1, 2 and 3 have never before all moved in a full trade period.

deal in 2009, was before future picks could be traded, involving 4 clubs, 8 picks, 3 players and only 2 first round picks moved. Its complexity was why the AFL mediator was called in to try and get it over the line.

I don't know if any other deal(s) sits between these two deals for meganess and complexity, but if there is I reckon it would only be one maybe two others.
