Strategy Jason Horne-Francis: North trade him to Port for massive unders

[Golumless]

I disagree.

Luko - 20% chance he plays at the Crows one day
Rankine - 10% chance he plays at the Crows one day
JHF - 0.00001% chance he plays at the Crows one day.

This one needs to be more of a watch and admire from afar situation ... he is a jet and a half. His value from the start was way way above the #1 pick. He will only increase that value. His price will be sooooo high that there will be no reason for him to move. North will pay him and no team that could fork out enough to pry him away.

We should have tanked to get to #1, we didn't. Now North have him for life. Hopefully it doesn't cost us a premiership or two over the coming 10 years.

There is no way to know any of those percentages that he plays to the Crows, nor is there any guarantee his price will increase. There have been many prospects who have come into the league, seen as can't miss prospects, and who proceed to stall out (especially at rebuilding clubs).

After all, it only takes one injury, a poor fit from player to club or even too much expectation for a career to begin to unravel.

lol. I didn’t think you would take the percentages as fact!

Just using some figures to show what I think the relative chances are for each player.

I just don’t think he is in the same category as Rankine and Luko.

 

[Brenton Davy]

He must be wondering what kind of shitshow he has landed in at the Roos. He must be looking with envy at Adelaide’s recent form. Has he signed an extension yet?

Don't think he has. I expect he will though.

They’d have to offer an absolute shitload to make up for having to front up to that shitshow every week. Noble will be lucky to survive next season.

s**t show or not take some realistic representation of where our Crows sit at

Barely any players leave the club they are drafted to after 2 years.

 

[ams4crows]

He should leave first chance he gets, no point wasting a career at North

WTF are you talking about tanking as if it was an option, not only illegal but when a corrupt footy operations team runs the club it corrupts the playing group.

Just nonsense.

Some of us thought the same about our list the last 2 years. North did a similar big list turnover of their senior players like we did in 2019 just last year.

 

[ams4crows]

Do I think JHF will end up the crows? No, I don't, but he absolutely should not stay at North. Anywhere else will be better for his career.

North is a dumpster fire of a club

Horne-Francis puts contract negotiations with North Melbourne on hold

The No.1 draft pick has stepped away from talks.

t.co

Who's ready to get their hopes up?

He would choose Port over us due to his step-dads connection IMO.

 

[Redline]

Yeah agreed, he wont come to us and to be honest we are not that far ahead of North, perhaps with a slightly better Coach.

Feels like the AFL can't afford for him to leave North and while they can't do it publically they will do everything they can in the background to stop it from happening.

Port will find a way, but I don't think they could get him and Luko either.

 

[MITSUHIRATO]

I think he's just waiting out a decision on Noble.

Will port have the currency or the cap space?

They'd find a way to get it done. They've never been afraid to trade a player with high value.

There's rumours of Amon and Georgiades leaving this year, and if they miss finals, they may find a few more wanting to leave.

If they miss the finals.. or make them and bomb out again..

You’d have to think Boak and Gray will go..

Amon sounds like hes gone but who knows..

They lose Georgiades and they’ll get some half decent picks.. although.. WC might have pick one in the PSD and a thus a heap of bargaining power..

No way WCE are going to give up their first for Georgiades, you'd imagine they'll try to do what we did with Dawson.

Ah my bad just saw the first half of you last sentence, I entirely agree with you lol

 

[I Lost My Keays]

You’d be mad not to enquire about getting him over, the cost would be crazy though.

 

[Bob Neil]

Break the bank.

If west Coast played their cards right, they should be looking at both Georgiades AND McDonald from Sydney over the next few seasons via hard nosed trading when these guys next come out of contract and in the meantime, use their high draft picks to restock their midfield and then look to bring in some key defenders via later picks / rookie draft / state leagues.

I think we will be battling Melbourne for pick 1 next year
