Analysis Pick 1: Jason Horne-Francis vs rest of the field

[AnEmptyChair]

Remind me never to give you any rum anytime soon AnEmptyChair...

All it takes is some delicious craft beers, my friend.

Actually, wait, imagine how I treat my friends...

His positioning is AFL level.

Positioned himself on defensive side of contests when in defensive 50.

Should have received at least 8 more disposals as the release player to players that were under pressure.

His teammates are not aware enough to use him and instead try an around the corner defensive hack kick out of defence.

He will be cleaning up at AFL where other players are on his wavelength.

In terms of play, he’s literally Gary Ablett Snr.

Absolutely, I mentioned this as well about 3-4 weeks ago.

I was ready to go…

When Jase kicked the goal to put us in front (or close to it?) I ran down the isle pumping my fist. On the way back up the isle I lifted my Panthers tshirt…

Thoughts on #4 from south?
Kid looks a winner

Joseph Haines. He goes alright down back but is 29.

I absolutely love him.
For a team in ‘the window’ he’s worth a look. Won’t happen. He is probably my favourite South’s player (outside of young blood).

Is a very good intercept mark. Would make a very handy intercept defender. I assume his height is why he hasn’t got a look on an AFL list.

I can see why you love him!
Plays with heaps of composure and rarely beaten. Great kick. Some of those kicks when he went through the corridor set up his teammates.

Every stoppage he bursts through at top pace but was rarely used. I had visions of Goldy feeding it to him on a platter before he bursts through HF to launch attack after attack.

Jesus!

Enjoy the ride guys, you’ve landed an absolute superstar. Complete footballer.

Yep , JHF will be a great well earned number 1 pick for the NMFC
(Much better than your number pick 1 in McGrath) and without the drug cheating .

Want that shirt

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

24 touches, 11 clearances and 3.3

Wrap it up

Watching the replay so haven't checked the scores. I'm excited after reading the above. Loved the way he went into bat for Matty Roberts. Would be awesome if we could recruit them together but we don't really need another mid and probably don't have a pick in the Roberts range.

 

[Kanga Glory]

After last nights performance and reading last nights comments JHF has gone from Kingston town to Winx and Kingston town was a champion.
Picking JHF will be more than a gun footballer, marketing, sponsors and supporters.
If his projection continues we will be a very very happy bunch of bias supporters.

Jesus!

Absolutely. He should have racked up 35 possessions if his teammates weren’t so selfish.

He made perfect position for handball release possessions all night.

Hurry up draft night!

 

[Hojuman]

Not many goal assist's though. He'll pick that up l suppose playing VFL for a year or two getting his body right.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Powell
Phillips
Horne Francis
Simpkin
Ldu
Thomas

Boy oh boy

When's the intra club?

Leaving Cunners and Jed out of it for now would love to see this match up

Goldie - Simpkin Thomas Phillips

CCJ - LDU Powell HF

Round 1 - they all will play but the starting 4 will be

Goldie - Cunners Thomas Simpkin

Wings - LDU and Powell

HF - Jed and JHF

Starting bench - Phillips...and maybe Lazzaro.

It's fair to say we are stacked for mids now!

 

[joegreen]

To play like that in a preliminary, in the last quarter, the will to win, competitive, aggressive. Moments win matches. He'll win games off his own boot. Built for hard, contested, finals footy.

So clear the number 1 pick. Outright.

Cmon Brady, just announce it now!

 

[lockheed]

We don't have a good attacking wingman, let's try him in his spot first.

Isn't Stephenson a good attacking winger, when he plays that role and is on his game?

This x 100.
Well said.

remember that u18 game a while back, aka "bradys worst nightmare"

those were the days

 

[SMaturin]

Tell you what though, the difference in level between state league and AFL was ridiculously apparent.

SA would have had a maximum possession chain of 4.

Their mids could not release a handball for an overlap or a clearance at all.
