Player Watch JHF - Jason Horne-Francis

Remove this Banner Ad

But the total crowd at Hobart is only 500, AFL lies and says it's 5000 just for the optics! Tasmanian guvment can't wait for North to go back to the mainland, they're getting no bang for their buck in the next three years.

JHF one of the smartest players going around, smelt a rotting corpse, got out at first opportunity. Nick Blakey gave them a wide berth by not nominating as a F/S.
Didn't they throw ridiculous $$ at Kelly (GWS), Martin (RICH) & DeGoey? And still couldn't land either even when it was at a time just after their recent finals success. If they couldn't land one big fish then, then they would definitely not anytime soon after being in the dungoens for the last 6-7 years regardless of having the messiah as head coach.

JHF would be leading the brownlow by 18 votes at this stage. What a gun!!
Based on last year's flawed voting, I'm inclined to believe you.
I think it will show he hasn't polled as well, because Miles Bergman has been down on form so the umpires are only noticing Jason when he gets the ball once in a scoring chain, not twice.

RN the only chance they've got of luring players in is by paying them more money from a team that are likely to not play finals, or a player that's not getting a game.

No big name player is going to willingly go to North even for money at the prospect of another 4-5 years of failure. It's not like North are selling anything worth investing into.

They could snare a Boak, or a Pendlebury, and bring in a few games to help them win games while the younger players develop.
 
The evidence is this:

Games played between North and Port outside of Victoria since JHF trade = 100%
Games played between North and Port inside of Victoria since JHF trade = 0%

remove your head from the sand and understand the optics around this.

They played in Tassie in JHF’s first year and as I pointed out, we also have played in Tassie every away game against North since COVID. Coincidences do happen and you’re gonna need more evidence then that to prove it’s anything more than a coincidence.

Surely Adelaide Oval might be a good place to play more than occasionally.
We wouldn't pack Noarlunga Oval against the Kangaroos with car parking on the boundary with the current level of interest of North games.
 
Love watching this guy play, absolute gun - but needs a bit of humility. Or, get chirpy against the good sides, when there's a chance of a bit coming back your way.

Whilst he is still young, we don't mind this but as he ages, he needs to start maturing. At this stage, I don't think anyone has really tried to antagonize him yet to see if that puts him off his game.

He's been completely humble and not chirpy at all against any other team though has he. He's just giving it back to the Roos boys who were targetting him and chirping towards him.

Got no issues with him standing up for himself.
