As apposed to the JHF golden shower???
it'll be him with Pink, McKercher, Duursma, Stephens and Fisher. Might get lost in the crowd
Over a Jam tin I hear.
Too busy trying to shatter the Jam jar with his fricken laser missiles.
Hard to imagine at the time that we’d come out on top after that debacle of losing JHF but here we are. So good
Are we on top based on the vibe, or demonstrably on top? I'll preface this by saying that I haven't really had a favourite player at any one point ever, and that this bloke is very very close to changing that.
I think at this exact point in time it's the vibe but it's trending towards demonstrably which will always be in the eye of the beholder, I'm sure if you ask Port Powa fans they're as happy with *** as we are with George.
Yeah that's fair enough
I think there was probably no world where we were keeping JHF, and if we'd somehow managed to keep him it would've probably been at the expense of someone else or deeper cultural damage. There is absolutely truth to the idea that others in the playing group weren't fans of him. In general he seems like a high-maintenance personality, that is to say he requires a lot of attention psychologically to keep his attitude professional, something which I think Port will probably have trouble with over the years, especially if they go through a rough patch during his career. Cutting our losses and trading him out when the opportunity was on the table to secure Wardlaw + a future 1st just seems like obviously the right decision to me. There's no point worrying about what JHF could have been for our club, because what we got for him is probably the best we were ever getting out of him.
I’m just talking player to player. Nothing more nothing less. Not about who is the better player either, JHF will be a star, they both will, no doubt.
That's a very good way of looking at it. You're right in that there were so many factors in play that he'd probably never produce for us what he'll likely produce for Poort, and if any of the stuff going around about his behaviour was true, then we really had no choice. I guess I'm looking at it from a purely football-based perspective, in terms of net gain/loss and so on. But you don't recruit players and train and develop players in a vacuum, do you. They come with all their baggage.
He’s our unique player….and gee do we 
it.
