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

[Engimal v3]

Is that Enigmal in the North gear having his picture taken with JHF?

No that was not me in the North gear having my photo taken with JHF

I don’t believe you.

Harley Reid giving JHF a bit of a drive by, tough talk when you haven’t played a game yet.

The No.1 question being asked of this year’s top pick Harley Reid

For a prospective No.1 pick seen as a flight risk, Harley Reid has surprisingly strong views about the service draftees should give their club.

Sounds like he is just spouting the propaganda that the AFL trains all potential draftees to say before a draft.

FFS why do people keep glossing over the fact that JHF was actually mentally unwell at North. And appears to be in a much better mental space now, back home with his family. Until you are put in that position Harley it is best not to cast judgement.

Not to mention the fact that Norf were imploding at the time he made the call that he wanted out.

Sacked another coach. (3 in 3 years)
CEO 'stepping down'
Board disintegrating.
New coach embroiled in a racism scandal.
Ostracised by team mates.

I doubt there's a #1 pick who has had a worse experience at their new club.

Add failure to diagnose/treat his leg issues.

And all those ice baths!

After watching the Becks doco and seeing how he got absolutely torched for England's elimination from the 98 world cup, really reminds me of the unfair treatment JHF has copped this year. The kid is 19, Becks was 23 when it happened. I dislike Ken to the next level, but his fatherly instincts would've helped jhf ride the wave throughout the year it seemed.

And a coach like McRae or Kingsley would not have? Coach (potentially) supportive of under attack player. What a guy.

Becks had a fatherly Fergie to help him through. Bit of a difference.

My comment was an observation not an opinion, I know Ken's a moron at the end of the day.

Point I'm trying to make is, when a player feels isolated they need that figure to guide them through. The guy can't guide his way through tactics but he knows how to get the players respect (which I don't understand especially after throwing them under the bus when we lost to GWS)

According to our players, he is a replica of Fergie. I'm still waiting to see it personally, maybe in another 10 years

Tbh, those first 3 sound like paradise to me.

But that's different to sitting in a wheelie bin with 24 bags of crushed ice you had to go and get from the Arden Street bottle-o

The shadow on this picture makes Jason look like he's grown an impressive pair over the offseason.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Really hope Horne Francis spends as little time with Travis Boak as possible. Don't want the Mongrel single minded determination to be a winner to be sucked out of him.

It wasn’t sucked out of Pepp

I feel like JHF is on of the few that could actually benefit from that calming influence.

He has plenty of fire in the belly and that will never change. Sometimes it is to the detriment of the team.

The greats learn to channel it and play right on that edge without going over (too much) and losing focus.
