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

[ClintEastwood]

I was at the game tonight. The booing of him is definitely bizarre.

It is bizarre, but people are sheeple. Just follow and do something because some others did it ahead of them. Most of them would have zero idea why they're boing.

There was plenty of Essendon and Melbourne fans who stuck around. Plenty of crows too.

Its gonna be like the murali no ball and the goodes thing. The more people get told not to boo the kore they’ll do it. Straya mate

Nah can't relate, fair enough of he was late 20s but to rip into a 19 year old, weak as piss

 

[dirty2]

If it was me... And I was getting boooed I would love it... Hope he does as well!

 

[davo999]

Not his best game but reckon he won us the game by standing up when we needed someone to stand up

I was at the game tonight. The booing of him is definitely bizarre. A teenager is homesick. Yet you have older, more mature footballers wanting to go home and it’s fine? And then it becomes a weird small pile on. You can’t say it was North supporters tonight because there’s not many of them unless they all made a special effort to get to the game tonight. Was it a mix of visiting Victorians who are somehow in sympathy with North (farken weird) in the crowd and maybe jilted crows supporters? Who knows but just weird but more so, comes across as plain dumb.

Mate, De Goey doesn’t get booed like jhf

Exactly.

Our supporters are cheering him louder every chance they get and I'll bet he is getting loads of support from the players and coaches because of the booing. I reckon he might just start to feed off it and it'll make him even more determined to play well.

Personally I hate that we're even bumping this thread after each game. It's just not required, he's coming along well and every single game doesn't need a running commentary.

I think playing a big part in the last quarter to help win is worth a little bump..

 

[Rendaw]

About ****ing time

 

[Cam1870]

Can't believe I'm going to say this but here it is... Well done Ken

 

[RossFC]

That's the best shit I've heard from Ken in a long time. wow.

 

[dirty2]

So... Ken does have balls...

 

[hammo24]

Finally Ken actually stood up and said something. About damn time.

Jobs on the line gotta do something

Wow I’m so surprised Dermott doesn’t see anything wrong with people ragging on a 19 yr old.

I agree. People dont boo sh*t players.

 

[pastmyprimus]

The more you see him the more you believe the hype - he’s a once in a generation player

 

[jakey]

Clutch. Has taken on the R Gray saving Ken's arse role in the team.

 

[OneGreatClub]

I agree Kane has riled them up but still no excuse

 

[OneGreatClub]

Not being booed by Port fans though

Club and everyone need to make no comments about it and it will subside.
The more hehe gets booed, that means the more he is getting the agate!!!!!
So it's a sign of acknowledgement that he is on top of his game every time it happens.
He should be thinking "Hey. Im getting under their skin, so I must be playing ok Bring it on, you imbeciles".

I’m sure that was what Ken was saying to him after the game.

 

[jakey]

Yeah Kane can get ****ed. 50% or the problem and if he really cared about the kid he'd shut the **** up.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Its amazing how clueless the commentators are! "Why is JHF being booed? ... "I dont know" blah,blah

Dont they see what narrative King, Lyon, and many others in the Melbourne media have built around this kid, as the "deserter of North Melbourne," and by extension, Melbourne Victoria itself. In a constant barrage of focused news articles, social media posts, TV interviews and commentaries, and also by Radio, they have villainized him!

So now, opposition fans have grabbed onto the narrative of JHF, the turncoat deserter of a Vic club in need, booing him to unsettle him.

This really needs to be pointed out to the rest of the media, commentators, etc ... His mental health stands to be affected. Imagine his mother sitting there seeing that? ts a total disgrace!

Good post

This is the first time in years I can remember 'Angry Ken'. Well spoken and I think he's aiming half of that at David King.
