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

[Psicosis]

Haven’t been keeping up did noble mention he was in qld now in his recent radio interview?

Yeah, he's back in QLD after 2 weeks in Q-Tine.

 

[Passmore]

Just speculating, what he said was “I haven’t spoken with nm but am expecting to shortly” or something to that effect.
may have received a text from Brady saying your our guy we love you etc… who knows.

Sexting?

 

[gokangas]

Good response. Would love to take him at one but I don't quite understand what picking father sons means further down re points. Reckon he deserves to be number one draft pick. I suppose the experts at the club will do the sums and make a decision.

If we bid on Daicos - Pies will need 2,400 points to match the bid.
If GWS bid on Daicos - Pies will need 2,014 points to match the bid
If the Suns bid on Daicos - Pies will need 1,788 points to match the bid.

Pies currently have picks 36, 39, 41 & 45 = 502, 446, 412 & 347 = 1,707

They are in a world of pain if we bid.

And just a follow up - if they are 700 points in deficit going into 2022 this is what happens to their 1st round pick.

If they finish 17th again - they go from pick 2 to pick 7.

If they have a better year and finish 13th - they go from pick 6 to pick 17!!!!

What is this obsession around going number 1 actually means anything. You think Petracca is sitting around reflecting about the fact he never went number 1?

No, not 7 years on. But at the time, it means the world to a 17/18 yr old.

 

[gokangas]

You know how accurate that rumour is, he said we haven't spoken to him yet.

That was my point ffs.

 

[Passmore]

When GR speaks, the footy world listens.

 

[Psicosis]

The Edmund report this morning screams of North tipping him off to prevent the supporter backlash.

Here it is

Take it to the Paul Roos thread.

Probably good PR if so.

Only really suited as a forward, while I would love for Horne to become a goal-kicking mid that can rest forward.

They had a recruiter on SEN earlier in the year that said “he’s like Selwood in the middle and Heeney up forward.” That’s very high praise.

Surely JHF's performances against men in the SANFL have been more impressive than Daicos' performances at NAB League Level?

Daicos' ranking is based on potential, while JHF has already shown that he can compete against and defeat men, perhaps not AFL level but the SANFL is one of the better leagues.

Daicos was BOG the one game he played for Collingwood’s reserves in the VFL. Still, our blokes shown more but Diacos hasn’t really had a chance.

Any time I see the word “might” in newspaper articles, I substitute “most likely won’t”.

Do you still get a 10% discount on points if they are father/son.

So 2400 would become 2160.

I think its post discount numbers

This is how it works.

JHF “I love the way Fyfe prepares off the field to get the best out of himself”

NMFC “meet your new development coach Boomer, he’s played more games of AFL football than anyone in the history of the universe”

 

[Horace]

No to bidding on Darcys. What if the Dogs don't match (I know this is unlikely)?

That would really worry me, if only for the reason that I would have to dislike Luke Darcy and his stupid commentary a little less.

Daicos yes because he is almost certainly going to be top notch and his old man is from what I have seen and read about him, a good bloke (part of that being a good bloke was he has been quoted as saying it was totally wrong what the AFL did to Fitzroy - or words to that effect.)

There is a chance we only go to the draft with #1 and #20. So a Daicos bid might strategically help our 2022 1st rounder if we finish higher than Collingwood next year.

But in this scenario a Daicos bid doesn't really benefit us at all this year unless we plan to live trade back in during later rounds.

As said previously the #1 mantle for the player we pick is a nice bonus but any means of improving our entire list over the next 2 years ranks higher.

If a Daicos bid means we still get JHF but also cripple one of our early pick peers in 2022 (if we don't rebound quickly) then it has to be seriously considered.

This is not true. In fact "when GR speaks, the whole world listens"

Yep it is too, cheers

This is how it works.

Thats great, cheers

How hard was it for Jon Ralph to get on the blower and ask the question?

He works for the Tigers and we're in a trade war with them.

 

[kool kangas]

l'm confused with the bidding process. If we bid on Daicos and Collingwood match it with their points what happens to their picks? Do we get them and are added onto our picks or are they just made void..

Why North Melbourne haven't spoken to prospective top pick Jason Horne-Francis, and more.

I like how they suggest we have an obligation to the rest of the comp to bid on Daicos first.

Dickheads!
