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

[winalotroos]

Pineapple has no place on a burger or pizza

On a burger I agree, but pineapple on a pizza, hmmmmm

 

[winalotroos]

So I pop into a thread about who we are going to take at the first pick in the draft and naturally it has evolved into a debate about burgers.

I'm pretty minimalist for what it's worth. Great beef, bacon, cheese, and egg. If I'm feeling fancy a bit of mustard and horse reddish.

Chicken burger must be thigh meat, not breast.

Interested in hearing views on the best burger joints around town. Beer and Burger Bar and 1090 Burgers both in Swan Street Richmond are very good. Balwyn Canteen do a very good job.

OK Swan street just up the road

Easeys burgers in Collingwood and the owner is a big North supporter

I like old school hamburgers but am also partial to smash burgers.

Btw George Motz, the Burger Scholar, is an interesting watch on youtube, if you want to broaden your burger game.

I used to go to Dannys in Fitzroy and loved them.
Ive moved down to the Bellarine and not found a good one yet.

 

[ferball]

The best burgers ever were at this shop in Jerilderie but it isn't even there any more and hasn't been for over a decade. They made great ones at Wadeville too but the people who made them have sold up and moved on.

 

[gokangas]

Anyone here remember Bell Burgers on Bell St Pascoe Vale back in the 70s? The burgers were very flat and huge and named after Laugh In sayings and characters like the Bet Your Sweet Bippy and The Devil Made Me Do It. To this day the best burgers I ever had.

Cold, shitty, chainstore burgers pretending not to be confectionary are not food.

Plenty of good real burgers out there.

With the trains on the roof yeah? Around the corner from work, don't know why I've never partaken.

I remember the burgers that they used to sell at the twilight drive in theatre in lillico. Still to this day can remember the taste of the iceberg lettuce steamed against the fried onion and the Pattie. Real toasted bun as well rather than that crappy suger laden buns that all the chain burgers use.

Ha, lets start a non-Victorian NMFC fans thread, where can talk about things like how nice the weather has been.

Hopefully they're still going strong in a couple of weeks.

AFL Draft Power Rankings: New No. 1 emerges as we close in on draft

ESPN.com.au's expert Chris Doerre has revealed his AFL Draft Power Rankings for the month of October and we have a new player at the top.

www.espn.com.au

1. Jason Horne-Francis
Best position: Inside midfield/general forward
Height, weight: 184cm, 78kg
Recruited from: South Adelaide
Projected draft range: 1-2
Plays like: Toby Greene
September ranking: 2
Rationale: Finishing the SANFL season off with a bang, Horne-Francis' preliminary final was the performance of the season, and one that will stick with draft watchers for a long time. Over the last month of the season, Horne-Francis has arguably developed into the SANFL's premier and most influential player. What separates Horne-Francis from Daicos is his application and influence defensively, with his aggression, pressure, tackling, second and third efforts and run back in support elite even by AFL standards.
Strengths:
Consistency of application defensively
Pressure applied to the ball carrier
Strong tackler
Aggression
One-touch ground ball winner on the move at speed
Aerial marking
Contested marking
Impact per possession
Contested ball winning
Proven against senior state league opposition
Versatility to impact games both through the midfield and up forward
Scoreboard impact
AFL ready-to-go game
Weaknesses:
Inconsistent production
Inconsistency of impact offensively

Plays like: Toby Greene

Now why doesn't that say Hugh Greenwood

Great idea!

Now I knew this was going to be an average season for draft picks, but I didn't know it was going to be this dire.

This is even better:

13. Bodhi Uwland (Gold Coast - Academy)
Best position: Inside midfield
Height, weight: 185cm, 84kg
Recruited from: Gold Coast
Projected draft range: 40+
Plays like: Luke Hodge
September ranking: 11

Rated at 13, likely to be picked after 40 and compared to a four time premiership captain.

Superb.

The guy that owns the place is a mad north supporter goes to all the games even interstate, when we could.

Gibcus ranked at 20 is interesting, if he is still available at our second pick it would be a no-brainer to pick him.

‘Plays like’. It means playing style not ability.
