Analysis Pick 1: Jason Horne-Francis vs rest of the field

[andana]

Haha, give me the name of a single one of them you would select in front or JHF??

he is a class above, just pick him.

I'm not in favour of picking anyone from WA ever. Just going on that one game there were a lot of better WA players possibly because many of those players play together every week e.g. East Fremantle had about six colts players in the side.

Why not WA players?

Going on recent history Im sure our WA scout will come up with a few similar to swaggy G and his Perth FC team mate. Stephen Pears,Jeremy Silcock
Troy Polak, David Muir, Sam McFarlane, Adam Hay, Clayton Lasscock, Christian Woodley, Rod Tregenza, Chad Jones, Brent LeCras, Justin Perkins, Josh Smith,
Warren Benjamin, Declan Mountford.

Say goodbye to Hayden no problem. I like Zurhaar, good for a rookie pick, not an all australian.

Andrew Swallow.
Daniel Wells.
Cameron Zurhaar.

You have to kiss a few frogs along the way.

We could put up a telephone book length list of Victorian players who failed to make the grade too.

Might have to stop drafting out of Vic.

When’s Vic Metro due to play at this stage (pre and delays which will happen)

Just so long as we stay away from QLD kids.

That is all true but is it worth all the hassle and expense of bringing them to Melbourne. Any Vic player who doesn't work out can go and catch the tram home.

Now that is the real danger.

Any wonder Trent has looked a little off this year....

 

[andana]

This may not be the thread but we need to be more ruthless. 18 teams and maybe one more on the way means unfortunately anyone injured for long is a luxury to carry on the list.

Out if interest, I just googled QLD’s Team of the Century - is it a bit of a stretch for them to include Aker and Voss?

Yeah, real hassle with Bell, Cable, Glendinning, Krakouers (x2), Laidley & Abraham

Aker moved up there as a teenager, I think Voss did too. Probably have to allow it.

If we ruled out all the kids who'd developed elsewhere the QLD TOTC would consist of Declan Watson, Braydon Preuss, Corey Wagner and Josh Williams.

and Graham Melrose

 

[Psicosis]

I’m sure GR will bless us with a video soon, but for now…



He’s elite defensively & he’s elite offensively. His scope of improvement will be balance between defence & offence (the opposite split of most 18 year olds). If Noble can get him to become a 25+ disposal midfielder, look the f*** out.

 

[shinboner magic]

When’s Vic Metro due to play at this stage (pre and delays which will happen)

Maybe 2024

I remember a recruiter for Hawthorn saying that when the selected Cyril Rioli they had found that he was way better than what his stat's suggested as he would get into great positions and not be used by team mates.

Not saying that JHF is this, but maybe some people who have watched him live could comment on are his quiet games ones where he still gets into good positions but not taken advantage of

Nick Riewoldt pretty stiff. Moved there at age 9, played all of his juniors there

Oof is he ever! Wonder why they’ve disqualified him.

When’s SA next scheduled champs game?

Hopefully can see Horne turn it on next time vs his draft class
