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

[Roosurgence]

As for Skinner you would think a few clubs might be interested after that type of performance?

Does us not giving him a crack this year go against us or would he be happy to look at us again?

With Taz going he would be in line for game time, so maybe that plays to our advantage?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Another week of Horne watch to come with the Prelim next weekend

 

[winalotroos]

GR any chance of a video of JHF of todays game.

also is it true he is playing in a pre GF game next week.

 

[Mr north man]

Based on what I have seen today with Skinner just pick him up with a late pick, now the Taz is gone.

It may come down to him or maybe Archers son for the late pick in the ND

 

[RossHenshaw]

Any offer for Pick 1 would have to be so absurd that the opposition list manager would be instantly committed into an asylum.

This kid has power and runs both ways. Not only that he can play forward, in the square or out on a wing.

Lock it in Eddie. The phones been taken off the hook and we aren’t accepting calls.

He has a natural 2nd & 3rd effort not many in the AFL have .
I also saw him cover ground so quick from offensive forward pocket to defensive back pocket very late in the game when Norwood were coming strong without an issue .
That’s after I reckon he hardly came off in the 3rd qtr . Would love to know his time on ground % .
Reckon would be in the 80% ‘s

It'll be on my page as usual.

As for next week, I would think he would be playing with the Panthers. He'll be given the choice.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Nah, he turned it over and sold his teammates into trouble a few times in the third quarter and that's what I was referencing.

Gee , I’ve been watching a certain 200+ gamer getting away with this playing for us doing that for years …..

Archer will probably be a rookie pick. Shaping to be another 50 pick draft and Archer ain't in that top 50.

Don't think it's a difficult choice tbh. Prelim with the guys you've been with for 2 years or a glorified hit-out

Have a word to him. No doubt you’re on nickname basis by now.

:O sh*t song. :stern look

That was the moment I switched off.

 

[ferball]

You liked that at the time didn't you GR.

Amazing recovery.

He's already shaping to chase the ball before he hits the ground.

But today was the first time I watched him play a whole game and what impressed me the most was how much of the stuff he did that won't make highlight reels. I dunno if they call everything he does a 1%er but we used to years ago. So many times he kept chasing, and even tho he wouldn't catch the other guy it was just enough pressure to ruin what would have otherwise been an easy entry into the 50.

His repeat efforts, defensive acts and 1% are absolutely elite. He does it every week.

That sort of play is infectious and now we’ve got the best two I’ve seen in the Jnr system with Will Phillips and Horne.

 

[Souup]

Around mid last year, JHF was easily one of the best players I've seen come through under 18's for a while and clearly the best kid in this draft class - I honestly thought we'd show enough improvement this year to not be in contention. The fact we're just about guaranteed to draft him is insane considering the talent we've already got. There were times this year where he appeared to have stagnated but he's really elevated his game at senior level over the last month or so.

I'm not sure most North fans totally understand what we're in for with this list we're building.

Exciting times ahead is an understatement.

[Intothewind]

It's so good having pick #1 and being able to watch the player we are going to draft in action before he gets to the AFL . I've never watched a SANFL game with such interest, or enjoyed the pre draft analysis so much.

I hope it never happens again .

 

[giantroo]

The explosion from this contest

 

[shinboner magic]

I’d be starting him on the wing and push Lmac back to the backline

Have Powell/stevo on the other wing

 

[Sillygit]

so south adelaide are into a prelim now next week?

 

[Moti]

Agreed.

Dumont or JHF? Tough choice
