It's a very poor request from Horne-Francis and I can't think of too many professional sports that accept this nonsense from their athletes. He never checked into North and I doubt the Clarkson situation ever factored into his decision.
Port will try and get him on the cheap but it should be their first rounder this year and next and North will still be receiving unders.
Dunkley for all his carry on rocked up with the right mindset throughout this season.

A genuine forward like Thomas should tempt us.

How do we feel about that?
Should tom Boyd have served our his contract?

Absolutely. I keep reading they want mature players to bring in. I’m sure we could find someone to add to a pick.

It's not exactly unprecedented though. Buckley did the same thing 20 years ago.

How about a low start to test the water: Pick 37, Lachie Hunter, $150,000 per season towards salary. Was there a rumour on Schache to North too. If so, steak knife bonus.

I would too, not sure they would.
But… If the rumours are true, if TT says it’s Clarkson related, his trade value drops a fair bit.

From what I have heard McAsey hasn't even performed strongly in the sanfl so would we would be more or less taking a chance on a mature draftee. I wouldnt say no but if he was 190cm would anyone be interested?

He made it clear before he was drafted where he wanted to go and Brisbane backed that they could change his mind.
Tom Boyd is closer to the mark.

Could we manage to get him focused? Talent wise he would be a great addition.

I read plenty of commentary about JHF being a flight risk that would likely return to South Australia at the first opportunity.

In fairness to Tom, it took close to $7m to pry him out of GWS

It did to get him interested into coming too us. Pickering said he was never staying in NSW though.

It's a tough situation. Clubs at the bottom need to bring in top end talent but are typically not one of the better organised clubs.
Players on the talent pathway are made aware of the risks that go with the territory of entering a draft but while they understand it some of them don't think it should apply to them.
North need to say to Port we want pick 8 and your future 1st or pick 8, a suitable player and your future 2nd.
Would Drew be forced of being a regular player out if Horne Francis was to arrive?
