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

[AnEmptyChair]

The whole points system is a ******* debacle.

Eh, it might not be perfect but I reckon it's better than what it was, where teams could simply match the bid with their next pick.

Like most people, I love the idea of father/son picks and it's really unique to our sport, but it's pretty ridiculous that it and the academy access exists and something needs to be done about it to make it a bit fairer. The points system is probably the best we're going to get for as long as it continues to be a compromised draft system.

They should get rid of the discount at least in my opinion. You still get to select your player you just need to cough up a few more points.

The rule regarding picks in draft = available list spots was a good one.

Stopped teams just absolutely loading up on late picks that are equal to the value of a first rounder.

Complete and utter s**t that it’s gone now.

My position on academies hasn’t changed. They should all be AFL run and every player available to all clubs.

They’re an absolute rort designed to benefit the ‘growth area’ clubs.

I don't mind F/S and (lol) even northern academies. The other academies aren't necessary. That's just the AFL shirking its responsibility to grow the game.

But the Northern ones make sense. Maybe give the Northern clubs the opportunity to match one bid on their academy players in the first one and a half or two rounds and all the later bids.

F/S should stay.

Bit of a bruised ego for Darcy from that incident methinks...

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

The amount of coping that's happening on Social Media is truly something to marvel at. Poor Jason already has so many flogs hoping that his career falls apart before it even begins.

I love the father son system. Academy not so much.

Funny, because Fogarty was regarded as the best thing since sliced bread during his draft year.

Has done SFA in his career to date.

He went pick 12. Bonar was pick 11.

I thought it was back this year? Was something in The Age the other day.

They beefed him up too much and he doesn't have a tank now. Will kill his career.

I’m actually impressed it’s still on at 1%

And to think I was sure it’d be one of the boomers that commented on that… still on 1%

Also I know full well how pathetic it is that I know this is before posting it…

Don’t @ me.

As a bit of of a timewaster, i went to Youtube and had a look at the AFL Generation Next highlight vid's for Callaghan and Daicos, followed by GR's 10 minute Jason Horne package, seriously, it was like watching a couple of maidens at Stony Creek, and then the Cox Plate

“It's dangerous”: Have the Roos put too much pressure on the likely top pick?

North Melbourne will almost certainly draft South Adelaide prospect Jason Horne-Francis with the first selection later this month.

Probably an unpopular opinion around these parts, but I actually somewhat agree with Cornes there. I didn't like Clayton's comments at all.

 

[Ry009]

There's pressure on pick 1 regardless, a few articles arent going to make a massive difference in the grand scheme of things.

With that being said, it is Cornes and SEN, so they're trying to milk whatever content they can.

Agree with you. Seemed so unnecessary, surely just play a straight bat???!
