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

[Long Live the King]

[

Got to keep reminding myself he is only a kid and not set too high an expectation. The recruiting team should hit their KPI bonus this year.

There's still plenty of ambiguity to the way he's speaking though. Doesn't want to totally give it away ahead of the event and I don't think he's supposed to.

Agreed - Just speculating for the next 7 weeks. Nothing else to speak about.

Happy to trade JHF back to Crows.


Lets call it the Carey deal - after two premierships and at 31 trade JHF for pick 2.

Iit would want to be more than two premierships in the next 13 years.

They literally used a picture of Horne-Francis for the cover photo of the article

I certainly can’t remember a better highlights package show casing a kids footballing ability

 

[RHLK]

10 mins of highlights (thanks GR) and I've spotted his obvious weakness - can't kick a torpedo.
Goes alright otherwise.

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Let's be honest here, this has to be the most complete package of 'highlights' ever put together by a 17/18 year old draft prospect, against men ffs. I can't think of one player who has come close to this.

Defensively he is an absolute animal, he hunts to hurt and is like a ******* heat seeking missile on the ball carrier.
Fitness wise he runs his absolute arse off but still has plenty of scope for physical development given he was doing what, one session in the gym a week? Pfft.
His leap is nuts. His marking is excellent. His pace is very good. His intensity is off the charts. His decision making seems proper good, his game sense seems on the money. His hands look neat and his ball use is very good. The only thing I can criticise is his kicking action could use some work, but his execution on both feet seems more than solid anyway.

I mean, * me, this guy is a lock as an AFL top echelon talent. No doubt.

Its a great year to finish at the foot of the ladder boys and girls. A great year.

It's like a Carey highlight video - there's so much of it almost becomes blase and numbing.

You contrast that with someone like Daniel Nielson

's highlight vid and it's like comparing a visit to the Ararat Art Gallery to the Louvre.

(Not knocking the Ararat Art Gallery by the way - it punches above its weight).

Thanks a lot GR. I'm pumped to see him in the blue and white next season!

type mocking, I actually think JHF plays like Ziebell with wheels, and a cooler head.

Greenwood looks taller.

 

[winalotroos]

I am just sitting in front of the TV waiting for Draft night to hear his name called

 

[El Triggso]

Who’s excited about the day giantroo can put together 10 minutes of this content in a North jumper?

(Excellent job giantroo, this will bring a smile to all shinboners who watch it)

 

[SheezNuts]

That highlights video is absurd

 

[DuckYeah]

Nah he didn't if you listen to it. I'd like him to.

It’s responsible and respectful to Hornet.. no need to pump the hell out of tyres after Hornet did that part himself..

 

[DuckYeah]

Phenomenal work O

 

[Bren]

That highlights video is absurd

I hope he is still available at our pick

 

[Lomas]

Amazed that he was still on the board.

 

[Lomas]

Just showed my 7yr old this, and he is now running laps around the outside of the house to be as fast as him. Double win.
