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

[King Corey]

What ****ing pressure. He's not on our list yet.

Clayton can say whatever he likes about unlisted SANFL players.

 

[Tas]

I am fine with what Clayton has said.

Some players need the pressure and the spotlight to help push them, to motivate them to go that extra mile. They feed off it rather than it weighing them down. It is no surprise that a potato like Cornes doesn't understand that. He probably wouldn't have even had a career if it wasn't for his father, the less expectation he faced, the better.

Cornes is a massive troll

Why does a vision of a wrinkled flaccid penis come to mind whenever I hear the name Kane Cornes?

Because it's always after you sho.. nevermind.

My vision of the 5-minute Fireman is that little rogue poo that refuses to be flushed..

You think he’s gone but the annoying little buggar keeps bobbing back up, even after the 3rd flush..

The critics will always hear what they want to hear......comparisons to Voss are comparisons at the same age..Clayton isnt suggesting 18yo JHF is as good as 26yo Voss which appears to be how most critics are wanting to interpret his comments to garner debate....and yes pressure can get to number 1 drafts as it did with Jack Watts who was debuted when he wasn't ready.....this kid has played against men.
I have no issue with the comments.....JHF needs to know the NMFC values him.

I should be worried because our number 1 draft pick looks very good.
He looks so good he has more pressure than any number 1 draft pick ever.
Every article is like a dagger through his chance of continuing being good at footy.
Every post from fans on a footy site he will most likely never read slows him down 1km/h
Some people just find a reason to be unhappy.

 

[Mixed Results]

The "pressure" will be impossible to avoid for JHF, so we may as well embrace it. Clayton's comments are going to pale in comparison to some of the topics the media runs with next year.

The media will decide that Jason Horne-Francis is the face of our club for us no matter what, as he is the most interesting talking point for both them and the casual supporter who would currently struggle to name five of our players. Every single talking point about our club is going to get tied back to him in some way.

 

[Passmore]

The kid doesn't seem to be any sort of shrinking violet . He wants to go at 1 and the hype is off the charts before Clayton's comments.

The genie is well and truly out of the bottle regardless.

I'd actually prefer this over the inevitable "you'll only have him for 2 years" and the speculation he'll return home. Love if they come out with an immediate 2 to 4 year extension to 2025+. That will shut them up for a while.

■ Jason Horne-Francis (South Adelaide, midfielder/forward): “I love his attack on the ball. He’s got so much self-belief he’s going to win it, he doesn’t fumble it, distributes it really, really well and he’s brave in the air – he’ll go back and is fearless. He is confident in what he can do and sum the game up with composure, and he’s one that can get forward and kick goals. He’s been a kid who’s been really dominant right from the first time we’ve seen him at 16. All that senior experience over two years will hold him in good stead as well. He’s ticked all the boxes.”

If JHF wanted the pressure off, he would ask us to bid for Daicos …All reports state he wants us to pick him at 1…

[Lomas]

Good work, but you Dudded Isaiah.

 

[Samsquanch]

I line 'em up. You knock 'em down!

 

[DuckYeah]

Lol Daicos is bont the dog lol he’s almost a foot shorter. Which means he cant do the things bont the dog does

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Didn't Cornes recently say we needed to show JHF he was wanted and we had no other desires at pick 1?

I seriously am starting to wonder if he is legitimately having issues with CTE

The only issue l see is trying to keep a hold on him going to hard and injuring himself...my have to suggest that Noble puts a leash on him for awhile...

I don't think it'll be an issue once he hits AFL level.
Massive step up in talent and pressure.
He'll get roughed up but will fit in nicely.

I think KKs point is that if JHF is attacking the ball as relentlessly as some of the highlights suggest he will and comes up against say a sloane, or any other in and under AFL mid something has to give.

The Horne hysteria will dissipate quickly once Thomas the Tank Engine edges past Petracca next year as the most damaging mid-forward in the comp.

Clayton is entitled to his view.

Jason set himself the task of being the number one draft pick and he's pretty close to achieving it. I don't mind bringing a kid in that sets his own lofty goals.

Hopefully his next goal is carrying the Kangas to back to back flags.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

I think we'll take back to back wins at this stage

It's a fair point. It's one thing to take down a noted paperweight like Darcy Fogarty running with a head of steam, but to come up against a brute like Rory Sloane in the clinches is a whole other matter.
