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.

Looks like he forgot to include Butters or Georgiades in his tweet? Whoopsie. Same mistake Twomey made. I'm sure he'll get that typo fixed up soon.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Saw Fabian Francis today at Coles, he was on his phone and shaking his head furiously. Make of that what you will, North fans...

Mate have you seen the price of groceries lately? I’d be shaking my head too!

 

[Wild Bill]

Pick 13 this year, pick 13-ish next year and a small upgrade of pick 30-ish for 44 and 67 versus pick 8 this year, pick 8-ish next year and pick 33 outright. Yes, that's a big difference.

Had Melbourne tried to trade Jackson last year, they almost certainly would have gotten something more equivalent to the JHF offer. This year they took what they could get. Take note. If you want to maximise JHF's value, the clock is ticking.

What if Freo do a Port and take a tumble? What if Port rise?

Unless you're Doc Brown - hold off on predicting 2023.

 

[Saltiga]

I'll believe it when I see it, because North + West Coast really seem to be getting shafted in the reported deal.

Haha Farang69er just rode his push bike into a tree!

I'd take it from a North POV

 

[Freomaniac]

I personally don't believe JH-F should be worth as much in a trade as Luke Jackson, but it does seem likely North will get a better deal for him than what the Dees will get for Jackson.

I mean it's a sad and really regrettable situation for North and their supporters, hut its not like they are going to be fleeced by Port.

And there is no certainty he is going to be the 'generational talent' people predicted he would be before and after he was drafted anyway.

Hopefully North drafts absolute future guns with the picks they get for JH-F (seems unlikely at this point Port will throw in an required young player)

So Freo traded pick 13, Freo 2023 1st and North's 2023 2nd.

What does north Melbourne want in return for JHF?

 

[Schulzenfest]

What if Freo do a Port and take a tumble? What if Port rise?

Port only rise if we're throwing in Hinkley to replace Clarkson as part of the mega deal.

 

[jdeezy]

Should've followed him out and seen it he put his groceries in an MG or a Mazda, would've really gotten to the bottom of this.

 

[Farang83150]

Marc McGowan....
TR saying it's only Nth, GWS and port involved.

 

[Saltiga]

So Freo traded pick 13, Freo 2023 1st and North's 2023 2nd.

What does north Melbourne want in return for JHF?

Pick 2, pick 8, future 1st and Butters.

 

[Wild Bill]

No idea.

Rozee was top 6 in AFL Coaches.

Gray has been a non factor for 2 years atleast.

Boak, Dixon, Jonas, Lycett, Gray, Aliir Aliir all dropped away - yeah 1 young player was good. Couldn't carry these aging stars.

 

[Wild Bill]

Pick 2, pick 8, future 1st and Butters.

I don't want Butters. Not after what he has shown the last 2 years.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Looks like he forgot to include Butters or Georgiades in his tweet? Whoopsie. Same mistake Twomey made. I'm sure he'll get that typo fixed up soon.

Those are pretty good picks for North actually. Pick 2 and a F1 (and I assume others)

 

[Wild Bill]

Port only rise if we're throwing in Hinkley to replace Clarkson as part of the mega deal.

Easy to blame the coach - most fans turn on the coach instead of blaming the players. Fans get star struck and let the players off the hook.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I don't want Butters. Not after what he has shown the last 2 years.

OMG I would gladly give up pick 10 for Butters, absolute gun (one of the most courageous players in the AFL)

 

[PAFC_FOREVER]

Boak, Dixon, Jonas, Lycett, Gray, Aliir Aliir all dropped away - yeah 1 young player was good. Couldn't carry these aging stars.

Boak very good
Dixon injured early, came good later
Jonas meh
Lycett injured all year
Gray old and a non factor as I said
Aliir injured early came good later.

Like I said. No idea. Our problems were an inefficient fwd line, a lack of gorilla defender and no Ruck.

And the Coach....

 

[PAFC_FOREVER]

I don't want Butters. Not after what he has shown the last 2 years.

LMAO

Gold.

I think I'll just ignore everything you post now.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Port only rise if we're throwing in Hinkley to replace Clarkson as part of the mega deal.

How do Port fans feel if it turns our Cuddly Ken was actually the deal breaker to convince JH-F to come to Alberton ? (Granted that is very unlikely)

 

[pjcrows]

Can we have him?

 

[Schulzenfest]

How do Port fans feel if it turns our Cuddly Ken was actually the deal breaker to convince JH-F to come to Alberton ? (Granted that is very unlikely)

I'd be happy for the club to gift him a bottle of red to show our appreciation for his assistance with landing JHF at his exit meeting.

 

[PAFC_FOREVER]

I don't think it's unlikely. It wouldn't be the first time.

However, club is bigger than anyone. He knows Ken won't be there another decade.

You just know, landing JHF, he’ll get a new contract before rd 1

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Wait I’m lost, did we just go “we don’t like your ruling and we are trying again with the mega trade” or did we change something?

 

[Schulzenfest]

You just know, landing JHF, he’ll get a new contract before rd 1

If you want to get back at us for landing JHF, posting stuff like this is the way to do it. Well played.

I'd feel satisfied that Daddy Donuts had a positive impact on the club in his final year, then I'd continue to push him and Koch out the door.
