Player Watch Jason Horne-Francis - Part 2

[GoPorts]

Smart business given it was looking like he was hawthorn bound at the end of the year

Which Cornes told you that?

 

[Jonts]

Can we ask Luko to take a pay cut for the same years for under performing? What happens when JHF is injured for a long period of time can we get some cash bsck

I'm all for giving him more cash
But also add more years so the club gets something out of it

Everyone here likes port to be ruthless but this is the opposite. JHF would be top 5 in the not going anywhere camp at the club

Fully agree with this. Would be fine giving him a pay rise, he deserves it, but add some years onto his contract while we're at it.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Then you remember he plays for Port!

 

[KanesBurner]

Yeah, I know right.

Imagine an organisation giving a payrise above contract that rewards performance?

Imagine the message that sends to others in the organisation?

Insane. But it's a whacky idea that might just take off.

Same as Port paying their players full contracts during covid rather than the 80% most clubs did.

Keep your people happy in an industry that’s becoming easier and easier to get up and move elsewhere.

It is actually one thing I didn't notice until Rozee said it and that is the Hornet doesn't get too emotional anymore but keeps on playing hard.

He hasn't given away too many dumb free kicks all year.

I noticed in a few articles recently on the AFL website, Top 25 players and Top 15 Most Exciting players or something to that effect and the Hornet should be on both of those lists if he continues with his form.

 

[Janey]

I noticed that Josh mentioned that he had matured, and Jase agreed, in the post-game press conference after Saturday night’s game. Another tick for Josh's influence I suspect.

Cameron at 6?

So it’s not a 2026 top 25, obviously.

in danger of becoming incredibly overrated. He is a moment's player and rarely puts a full game together.

I assume your correct, he has been sub par apart from that 1 game he kicked 10

He is so overrated its not even funny

The website says schoolyard rules… everyone is fit, who do you pick?

I’d suggest that Bontempelli over Daicos would be 90% of neutral fans’ choice.

Zak gets marked down because of lack of goals, but somehow Daicos’ average performance in contested ball is ok for a #1.

The Hornet has to put together a dominant season in the midfield before he gets in there.
