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.

JHF really tied ports arms as well though telling us only 1 week before trade period that he wanted to be traded. Could had planned to offload one of our better players from a long way out if we had more time and find a suitable positional replacement for that player we lose. Only having a week to decide who to trade/ where to/convince the player/get talking and get a good deal was always gunna be not achievable.

In any case the AFL declining our offer sucks but I’m sure north and port will get it done. North would still prefer to get something for him this year

I think Bergman is also OOC 2023 unlike Sinn who looks to have already signed to 2025.

Bergman was reportedly keen to move back to Victoria according to some media reports 6 or so weeks ago, so unless he agrees to sign an extension at Port, PAFC really should consider packing him for JH-F if that is what it will take to seal the deal.

But we will see what happens eventually, got no doubt he will be at Alberton next season, but it will be for a deal that North feel satisfied with.

 

[Watto71]

It would be a bad look if JHF decides to stay at North or go to Adelaide next year and becomes an AA, while Port could have had him but refused to add one of their fringe young guys.

Take Drew

Didn’t take long for you to turn on him…

I’m just stating facts, the situation has made it hard for port

I’ll forgive him when he is our norm smith medalist champion

Hey, don't be mean to Jason, he's been under a lot of pressure lately.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Does Fabian have to give back his MG if the trade doesn’t go through?

Can some of you North posters please stop with the Fabian Francis troll posts
and antagonisng of Port Adelaide and their supporters (least on this thread)

Wasn't funny the first time around something like that was posted here, and it adds nothing helpful or constructive to the conversation.

Leave the families and domestic scenarios out of it if possible. Not needed.

I’m not trolling. Fabian has been given an MG.

I think Essendon would be keen.

he wouldn't nominate Port if they hadn't been in his ear for a long while. Simple as that.

8, F1 and 33 is legit a great haul. We aren’t coming close to a flag next year.

I would also do Bergman instead of 33, but a F2 from north would need to come back

Lol, it's a shit haul.

You want to poach a first year no.1 draft pick, you pay overs.

Something funny in the water at Alberton?

8 + 6-12 and 33 and north can really load up on talent. Can turn a shit situation into a win.

Or they could just hold him to his contract and force a bidding war between Adelaide and Port next year?

Yeah perhaps. Or they could get some talent in now. I actually rate their list and with a few more talented players they can shoot up quickly

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

To be fair I’d return an MG if it was given to me…

 

[Powerade 08]

From a good source: Port deal has fallen through but JHF still wants to come home.

Crows are putting a deal together (will need to trade one of their young stars).

Well, one thing's for sure, they're not going to be low-browed by Port, who went and offered contracts to players that were overs compared to what their current teams are offering, then refused to pay the price to trade them in.

Nobody's going to be wanting to ask for a trade to Port for a fair while if they **** this up.

Rachele or the crows can gtfo also

Unless they feel like offering Thilthorpe or Dawson.

Would be much easier. Rachelle and future first. Done deal.

He can F*ck right off. Stay at North and ride it out the mummy’s boy

Sure, when the Port fans stop saying nonsense about how we're "moving to Tasmania" or the like.

I'll wait.
