Player Watch JHF - Jason Horne-Francis

[RonSon]

He's a downhill skiier, looks very impressive when the whole team is running riot but when playing against a good team, looks lost.

I'm salivating the prospect of next year when we get phillips to tag him out of business.

I'm salivating at the prospect of JHF kicking 15 goals on Phillips next year.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

1 of only 6 players in the comp averaging over 20 disposals and a goal a game.

Those being Bont, Petracca, Heeney, Warner, J Kelly and JHF.

Pretty good company to be in while being 2 years younger than the next on the list.

Well there's Sheezel.

Accept he averages over 27 a game and 1.4 goals a game as a midfielder. Not far off JHF in clearances now either and he spends half the time in the middle he does.

 

[JimmyBC]

He'l kick 5 or 6 in a game resting forward at some point he's as good as Ricciuto was dropping forward.

Yeah no he’s not actually. That’s using selective stats/rounds and ignoring his first couple games as a mid where he didn’t kick a goal.

He moved into the midfield in round 8 against the saints with 13 CBAs. So he’s not actually going at 1.4 a game and meeting the 20d and 1 goal a game as was being referenced (he’s going at 0.88 goals per game for info).

Great young player obviously but again not sure the need to bring him into the thread when it’s not relevant at this time.

meanwhile back in the real world. 1:06 onwards

15 touches, sure, over 2 matches.

See Clayton oliver for comparison, hornes francis is nowhere near the player oliver is by the way.

Port adelaide average age 25.4 years

North Melbourne average age 24.9 years

And how many port players over 30 vs north?

Try that

Well that backfired.

Yesterday, port had 1 player over 30 play (Boak).

North had 2 (Corr and Shiels)

Compare what exactly? You're really clutching at straws now mate, give it a rest

Clutching at straws, your club is the desperate one try to top up and stay afloat around the 8, we just have to sit back.

Now i feel bad, i didn't realise i was arguing with a make-a-wish kid

Don't, you just support port.

 

[Total Power]

we just have to sit back, let all the Priority picks and AFL handouts do to the job. Eventually we will get it right.

EFT.

Imagine what a success story will this be. Will this be an AFL corporate premiership if you win one?

So if gws win one too, it will be a controversy, what about brisbane lions winning 3, is that corporate premiership or Bulldogs

GWS/GC are expansion teams. Lions were a new team too. What's your excuse a century old club that got their rattled tin can out all the time?

 

[bomberclifford]

You'd be wrong IMO.

Ok. I guess you have much more experience watching a bad team than we do.

 

[Malibu#27]

Not necessary, see nathan buckley, michael voss type

At the same age as JHF is now, Buckley was in his debut season for Brisbane, so JHF has time on his side.

That's a decent point

Buckley Debut:20y 244d

JHF Debut:18y 272d

Why did Buckley debut so late? Or was that just the ordinary back then?

Different time.

But also I recall Buckley had some injury type issues at Port before bursting onto the scene as a 19yo.

There were still 16yo debutants back then, so who knows.

True, but we can't all exist to win reserves premierships.
