Player Watch Jason Horne-Francis - You were always one of us

[afl2004]

Judging on last year's brownlow he should be 22 votes already lol

Really need the umpires to keep an eye out.. already players are scragging, hanging on, basically tackling him before he gets the ball. If the umps are actually watching he'll draw free kicks like crazy. There's virtually no one who can match his first few steps of pace so they hang on for dear life.

I've already given up caring about his treatment by umps - the amount of times he's had his head ripped off in tackles and been held on to in contests without being awarded a free is ****ing ridiculous. One of those situations where there's no doubt there's been a directive from AFL House to not give any benefit of the doubt to.

Not likely a directive. Just gossip amongst the umpires.

He often drops a shoulder and changes direction with the aim of charging through a tackle right before some of those non-calls for over the shoulder. I get why the umps don't call some of them. He's not ducking, but he is initiating the high contact on occasion.

He’s no Harley Reid though!

He’s no Dean Gore either.

 

[jakey]

I haven't felt this way about a Port player in a long time.

 

[StuMan]

Just about the only player in this team who isn't a complete coward.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Hahah rare Jedi sighting

When Rozee comes back he has to play forward. JHF clearly our best mid. The best of the 3

 

[PJ Power]

This man is head and shoulders our best player. He is the one guy who keeps going regardless of what’s happening around him. Take a bow JHF.

By far the best.

 

[pstew2dstew]

Give norf another 1st..

At least fund em new ice baths

 

[Jonts]

I'm going to be like a broken record but on 800k a year this guy is a steal

Will be AA winner this year

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Climb on my shoulders and I will carry you home.

It feels like we've robbed them blind.

He kept us within 5 goals all game. Where were his mates for three quarters? Houston perhaps with his finishing. Farrell pretty solid. Burgoyne and Boak were competitive. But boy, any chance of our midfielders helping JHF?

They killed us around the ball until the end. That's just mental.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Stood up the whole game and tried making things happen when no one else was.

 

[ibd77]

JHF's win. Kept us in game when we didn't deserved to do so.

 

[TeeKray]

He's our best player and our on field leader.

He’s a steal at any price because he’s our best player and could name his own price

 

[PJ Power]

If he can keep doing what he did today, he might just be the kryptonite to our football club’s Hinkleyfication.

I had this exact thought in the second quarter. He's the antithesis of the culture Hinkley has established.

Throwing Rozee in the trash because of 1 or 2 average games is absolute crazy talk. He's one of the best players in the comp
