Traded Jason Horne-Francis [to Port Adelaide in multi-club trade]

[philthy05]

Are GWS looking to use picks 3, 12, 15, 18 and 19 purely for the draft? Or do they want to get some players in via trade?

Maybe we could upgrade pick 33 or 43 for one those later picks and offer up Byrne-Jones or Bonner?

We genuinely need to trade away a player for 2nd round. Can't see it happening another way.

Hayes, Drew, Bonner, DBJ, Farrell. DBJ with most value in that lot perhaps as an All-Australian and club BnF although he was off it best this year. I know he just resigned but yeah either him or Drew

In all seriousness North have actually done fine out of this deal. So have West Coast. GWS showed up, bent over and handed over the lube to make it work for everyone else, and I salute them for it.

Yeah I think north have done well. What more can you hope for to get for a player that wants out than a similar pick + a future 1st on top. That’s a good deal.

Also west coast, despite people knocking them to get out of pick 2 and the private school vic boys and into hewett territory , whose not far behind, if at all those vic boys plus get another pick. That’s good for them.

Ports given up a lot, but the fact we get future 2nds and 3rds back helps a lot,

In the end rozee butters jhf Bergman sinn to look forward too in our midfield.

I really rate that group of players as a future midfield. High end young talent there.

You’re gunna be real mad when we pull it off

Think WC are sitting pretty personally

 

[King_Tredrea]

Think WC are sitting pretty personally

Lol. Hopefully no trade is done cause Rioli will absolutely get to us in the PSD

 

[Wargreymon90]

How’s the cheek from Port thinking they can grab three of the leagues hottest young stars for a couple of midrange first rounders and half a granita

Rioli is neither young or a star

 

[Rich01]

So he had more than a couple of nice passages of play?

He’s got talent, no doubt. Whether he’s shown more than in his under 18 year is debatable.

But there are questions on his professionalism and the way he’s conducted himself over the course of the season that we didn’t see until this year. This has been widely reported and also seen him dropped for his behaviour.

[spudmaster]

I can see Clarko rocking up to the Horne-Francis household with his battered acoustic and giving his very best rendition of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to seal the deal.

And a puppy.
Never forget to bring a puppy!

Again. Third highest ranked player 18 years of age. In a crap side, when he bratted up. Port can’t try and pry him out and then say he has issues.

This is not ‘nam Richo, there are rules

Not suggesting that Lebow.
Two picks worth the equivalent of pick two and a fringe player is enough.

Not if we say it isn’t

 

[Rich01]

Not if we say it isn’t

Yep, that’s just my view. Its obvious that North fans with significant skin in the game think he’s worth much more than that. It’s understandable. Will be interesting to see if the club has the same view come trade bell time.

 

[Brian McGee]

I agree that Riverboat Ken will crack, he's staking his whole career on this now.

Clarkson will be coaching us in Rd1 next year, having taken up the reins on November 1 as contracted.

Mate I really hope that Clarkson does come back and coach you, from the level of anger and venom being spouted about jhf from your fans I think you could do with a bit of a positive story. It doesn’t sound like many of you are really enjoying footy that much at the moment, which I totally get.

 

[Handyandy]

North just need to nail their draft picks & they win this. If they get 2 first rounders & something it’s not bad. Jhf might not end up being so great

I'm hearing we're moving to the keep Jason stage now.

Clarkson going to pull out the whole 9 yards, using his contacts to get the best sports psych from the NBA/NFL, offer to move the family over, they'll do the freakin' Kokoda Track together etc.

If Port won't come to the party with a good player, we're keeping him.

You wonder if this wasn't Clarkson's play the whole time.

Agree to his trade request last week knowing Port would try and lowball, then say no dice, and say see Jason, we did the right thing by you but Port just wouldn't pony up and they left you high and dry.

But don't worry, its a different North now and then work his magic.

he could get moved in with one of the coaches? I am sure the afl would love that

 

[Watto71]

North don't see a young star they only see draft picks to try and become a decent club before Tasmania come in
Their support couldn't give a shit about JHF

 

[Malibu#27]

He was valued at 3 first rounders last year

He now has a year development into him and is still under contract

Three first rounders with your pick 19 (before father sons and academy selections) coming back, with one of the first rounders at about 15.

(I’d hate for people to misread what you were saying)

It’s also worth noting that last year before being drafted - given you had pick one that JHF was effectively under (AFL) contract to you in that no one else could take him if you selected him at one.

 

[bh90210fan]

Rioli is neither young or a star

How dare you

 

[Crow till I die]

Doesn't look like Port are doing anything to improve their draft hand other than repackaging it in weird mega-trades and pointless pick swaps. Might be easiest if we just ask for it all and work out what to do with it ourselves.

JHF for 8, 33, 43, 53, 57, 60, F1, F2 (assuming the AFL allows them to use F2).

Using Suma Magic's brilliant new pick value index (which is based on past trades) and assuming F1 and F2 are 12 and 30, that all adds up to 3271 or Pick 1 + Pick 35.

Is that enough?

Edit: I didn't take into account the lower value of future picks. It is probably just worth pick 1.

Yes it is, but would you rather a 1 year old ferrari or a toyota camry, a suzuki swift, a subaru liberty and a bunch of hyundi's (the ferrari being pick 1 in your scenario)

Im actually referring to Richmond’s offer

I didn’t refer to that ones as they didn’t offer you three first rounders.

The other clubs probably ganged up on Port and wanted them to chuck in a future 4th

Clarkson?… November 1?.

Bahaha.. anyone that thinks that Clarkson isnt right this minute working behind the scenes and having his say in every little aspect of North’s current happenings is naive to say the least..

Its not like the bloke is locked up in a maximum security prison with his phone access restricted!.

Clarko will most definately be the one that makes the final decision on whether North trades JHF or not..

Clarkson will be looking at it three ways

1) Yep, if we are getting a kings ransom for him I will trade him.

If not

2) I will coach him next year and back myself to turn him around and make him stay.

And if he still wants out after that..

3) I will make sure we get a bloody good deal for him next year.

Its pretty obvious by now that Clarkson is a very shrewd operator that will do anything and everything he can to get results in his favour.

Note: this wasnt a dig at you or your comment.
