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

[DocSholl]

JHF plays wing very very well.

He's just so disciplined positionally.

 

[r_boy]

JHF plays wing very very well.

Think cause he gets 1v1 opportunities with a bit of space around. So damaging in that situation.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Must be watching a different game

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.

 

[Flawed Genius]

I reckon he's played all of centre square mid, wing, and half-forward today. Nobes has said a few times about wanting versatile mids. He's perfect in that respect.

He ticks every single box

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Skinner is having a ****ing absurd game

 

[Sillygit]

alright, Norwood have to have money on Skinner breaking some sort of intercept mark record

 

[Themanbun]

North recruiters probably came for the JHF and stayed for the Skinner.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Skinner is David Dench out there.

18 year old playing with senior players - gets called for hands over the top. That decision is as much on the senior player as it is on the kid.

His kicking has been immaculate today.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

15th orgasm of the day

Saves me checking how many disposals he's had.

 

[Ligma]

I don’t actually know how many disposals he has had

16 disposals

Not just that one. There were a couple of other kicks that were either direct turnovers or just long and a bit directionless.

Again, these aren't criticisms, just observations. He's been outstanding overall. However, I do disagree with you that his kicking has been immaculate. He looks like a 100 meter player in terms of his burst and then long kick, but I wouldn't say his kicking has a lot of craft or finesse, and I've noted a few draft watchers have said something similar. It's by no means a weakness but it needs a bit of polish in a professional environment.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

16 disposals

Must have been one bad one then.

Possible decent hall coming up for North 2021.

Yeah I disagree, his action is good & every time he's got on a burst he's lowered the eyes & hit a target (bar one that was a shank).

The fact he has been rated top 10 at league level for efficiency by foot this year, would suggest he has addressed it compared to previous years.

Of our young mids, with a few years in the system, I'd expect him to be a better kick then all bar Thomas (potentially WP who lacks the penetration though).

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

He would be a free agent, wouldn't need to wait for the draft.

:O Shit song. :stern look

Skinner: 13 marks, 18 kicks, 21 disposals.

North recruiters probably came for the JHF and stayed for the Skinner.

#44 Roberts (18 year old ) not bad either

 

[Roosurgence]

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.

Brady can take the calls. Im sure he could do with a laugh.

 

[shinboner magic]

Came for Horne, liking Skinner's game though.

Yep grab those two and Roberts at 20 to play half back.
