Or is it his manager told him there was less chance Adelaide could get the deal done?

I guess we can say the same about Ablett, only 1 club wanted him, right?

Agree he has a terrible attitude, likely to create a terrible culture at port
Might compete with our senior amateur leagues

It's good of you and quite a few other Crowies to be able to bring yourself to say so. I can appreciate how vomit-inducing it would be, if it were the other way around.
With Selwood, Dangerfield & Scott’s ego on board I am surprised the plane got off the ground. Seriously though every club does it. Crows/ ports try to lure sa boys home. VIC clubs try to get theirs home. Hawks have been leaching off us for a decade or more. Sure wc/ freo are in the ear of spp/ georgi. Negligent if not.
Finlayson has been a much better get for them than I was expecting.

OOf, ---> thread
Port picked up some very solid players all contributing in games this season.

Great bump.
The shadenfreude was great to go back over.
First the OP getting owned within 24 hours, then posts like this predicting JHF to be a good player at best, without the temperament to be more and suggesting he could end up in the SANFL

You are not wrong
JHF is a decent player but he’s not doing anything elite
We still got a good deal for him but agree the deal 12 months ago was better
Just thankful we didn’t wait til this year to trade him
Finlayson and Aliir dominating.
Chuck in JHF.
It's the Swans who can't attract players.
Nothing since Buddy ten years ago now.

How long since anyone went to either Sydney or GWS?
Do you think cost of living is impacting the ability of them to attract players?

If you'd entered the comp 20 or 30 years earlier than you did, you wouldn't have had that problem for decades.

Your club?
No big names to either in the last ten years.
I think COLA plays a small part but mostly it's lack of footy culture and smaller crowds etc.
Why move away from home?
No really compelling argument for NSW teams to attract players.

I didn't say he will be playing in the SANFL. I said the SANFL is a very ordinary league and kids who are relatively good players can perform well becasue the league is largely made up of failed players or those who are washed up and been delisted from the AFL.
But JHF is good and is showing he can be a very good player. Just not the generational talent that was predicted off the back of playing in a poor league.
We robbed you and made off like bandits
.Pick 8 and pick 17 or 18 is all it will cost us.
The kid is just 19, actually may have just turned 20 yesterday and he'd already be in the top 10% of players in the comp. Imagine how good he'll be once he passes 50 games.
Fancy a bullflog supporter starting a thread like this. Aged real well for them.

We turned your pick 8 into wardlaw. Gave up JHF and got wardlaw and your first rounderWe robbed you and made off like bandits

And you could have had phillipou had you kept the pick and traded for JHF this year instead
Point being you should have waited a year to go for him to get a better deal and we would have been screwed as he would have been out of contract
Haha have a listen to this turnip!

How many players in their second year play at an elite level?
Oliver was a rare example. This thread shows just how unrealistic peoples expectations are.
Butters and Rozee are only forging into elite status RN.

We absolutely would not had gotten a better deal than pick 8 and 15-18 for JHF and Rioli.
I don’t know why you North fans are still so bitter, we won, you won who cares. JHF is a port boy, has won us a couple of games and is consistently playing his role in a team that is top of the ladder. Wardlaw has shown signs of an elite player. Enough with the bitter ex girlfriend vibes from your mob
