Correct call by North IMO.
You don't walk away from a generational player which JHF is by all reports.
I actually think you'll find that one of the Victorian draftees will overtake him in a few years after they see more development and exposure. JHF has the advantage of prime time attention that has vaulted him up the rating more than if the other states draftee hopefuls had the same time in the spotlight. This is why I'm so optimistic that we will find some absolute stars this year that have slid far higher in the draft than that would in previous years. Great year to have proven talent scouts and recruitment geniuses at Richmond. North are foolish to give up three potential stars for one.
