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

[Rendaw]

Wow King is such a pussy just deflected everything

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I think we all need to keep in mind that so far, JHF has been wholly unaffected by any booing. It's a huge story for the media that was driven by the media to begin with and neutrals booing him are just idiots. I'm glad Ken stood up for him, I don't think it'll encourage too many more to boo him and I think it'll start to die down once the media are bored of the story.

He's an incredibly focussed player on the field as shown by his last quarter. This'll just end up one of those things like "oh remember when JHF was booed for a bit?". Does anyone even remember Tom Boyd in a Giants jumper? Now imagine a career twice as long. It's easy to get caught up in the moment, but time will always do its thing.

I love the booing of a 19 year old, GAJ, Judd, Cousins, C.Cornes, Rucciutio, Goodes, Buckley and Ackermannis were all Booed. We are Port Adelaide, Love us or hate us and that's fine by us. JHF will wear the Boos as a badge/sign of respect.

Yeah I don't think that is true at all.
Has he battled through it while trying to just focus on playing? Yes.

You really think that Ken would be at the press conference if it was just water off a duck's back to JHF?

Yep, someone should ask JHF if he’d like the nickname “boo” to stick it right up the “smooth brains” as Festerz memorably called them a few posts back.

We’ll see if keeps it up? If he does he knows what he’s doing. If he drops off he’ll go down a censorship hole.
He will not do the right thing & take ownership of his role in this issue.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

how do you 'drown out' people booing?

I mean seriously, tell me how?

Because I was at that game. And what we did was let that young man take hold of the game by the balls and deliver a last quarter in a come from behind victory anyone would be proud of.

That's how brave kids respond to bullying. And thousands of Port supporters letting him know what they thought.

You should have been there to see it. And hear it.

Because I can tell you it was a heck of a lot more satisfying than worrying about the couple of hundred cowardly smooth brains who thought that booing a kid on the field is what supporting their team is about and who rushed to leave without a whimper when the game ended.

And on top of that, who expected it at a Port v Bulldogs game? I didn't. And when it started I heard a lot of shouts of Shut the **** up you morons.

There was no booing at the SCG, so I thought it was just a special case of Collingwooditis.

It was talked about on the Sunday Sports Show on 9 which included an English rugby league player who was a bit bemused about why you would boo a young kid for no reason that affects your club. But he said it could be the making of JHF, to prove the critics wrong.

JHF has already said he wants to be the best player in the competition, this will just give him more ammunition.

 

[Brian McGee]

Hinkley’s comments were more aimed at the media than the booing, which is really just a symptom of the constant narrative around him every week. If the media pull their heads in a bit it will slide out of the forefront of people’s minds.

 

[Lefti93]

I agree. People dont boo sh*t players.

I laughed and cheered James Rowe in one showdown. Devo when they delisted.

A kid deciding that living in Malbun is not for him is a massive affront to all Victorians. There must be something seriously wrong with him if he doesn't want to live in the sporting and cultural capital of the known universe

King is as much to blame as anyone for this bullshit. But he also has a point about Kane stirring it up as well.

Kane has on twitter and other social media platforms purposefully and deliberately poked and poked and poked. I have no issue with North fans fighting back. We would too. I would have no issue with North fans boo-ing their hearts out when we play them. We would too.

Have they gone too far? Yes. We would have had fans that would've too.

But Kane has made it broader than just North and Port for his own benefit and it is now impacting on a young man.

Kane needs to STFU
King needs to STFU

If they both do that, they might miss out on clicks and profile. But it would benefit all who are actually involved - Port, North and most importantly, Jason.

 

[PJ Power]

Kane is a massive hypocrite. Buckley effectively called him out for it this morning by pointing out how he went hard at Ginnivan early last year. Not surprisingly Kornes showed minimal contrition. Similarly, Kornes is the master of hyperbole and premature writing-off of teams and coaches. He does it shamelessly for the “hits” and publicity. He’s a dreadful analyst so it’s the only way he can make an indent on the footy media landscape. Yet, he goes relentlessly at Tredrea who had a much better rationalised case than any Kornes has ever put up.

Arguing with Kornes would be like arguing with an idiot, who also happens to be self-absorbed with no sense of conscience or self-awareness. You could win the argument by triple knock-out and he still wouldn’t concede defeat.

But of course David King is blameless

North great launches withering attack on ‘whinging and sooking’ Horne-Francis

North Melbourne great David King unleashes extraordinary takedown of ‘whinging and sooking’ Jason Horne-Francis​

In a scathing outburst, a Roos legend has given a staggering assessment of the former No.1 draft pick’s attitude and lack of fight.

So JHF argues with a teammate and North lose 11 games straight, can’t just be coincidence.

[bow and arrow]

I wasn't at the game but am I being naive. It's our home game, why weren't the booers at least drowned out? Where was our crowds support in the first quarter?

Drowning!

That's a disturbing number of murders from that source lol

 

[Macca_1870]

Ignoring all the media bullsh*t over the summer, North fans have spent this period acting like the jilted ex-boyfriend who uses any platform to have a crack at the girlfriend who left him (and is trying to move on), all the while claiming that he is "much better off without her". Jilted ex-boyfriend then has to take things one step further and gets all his mates on board to slander her - none of whom are smart enough to realise that they look silly sticking up for him, and that their mate was as much the problem.

Girlfriend, meanwhile, has since moved on and is thriving.

 

[Power freak 2008]

I just saw the King deflection. He blames Kane Cornes for promoting the ice bath theory. As if that's when it started. His expression was also seething
because he knew Ken Hinkley was talking directly to him. It was beautiful. Pure Gold

 

[VineValerian]

Bottom line:

Jason went nuclear in the last quarter. We won.

Non-Port supporters sooked it up, and scurried off with their tails between their legs. Losers!

End of story!

As long as we all continue to support him and get behind him, he'll be ok.

Maybe a banner in the crowd this week, along the lines of:

"Jason - you are a Hero! Way, way better than the brain dead morons who wish they could be half as good as you. Keep on sticking up the losers".
