Is it time to cut Horne-Francis some slack? I Grundy struggling to fill Gawn's shoes? I First Crack 

I'm a North supporter and I don't hate Horne Francis at all. He's just a kid from Adelaide and he will be a very good good footballer. Honestly I think he is a better fit for Port Adelaide than North Melbourne at the moment.Both Port & North are winners in the Horne Francis trade with North getting access to Harry Sheezel who.I.think will become as good of a player as Nick Daicos. They also got George Wardlaw another top liner draft young gun as well as gaining 2 first round draft picks in the 2023 AFL draft. Port are a couple years ahead of North in their journey development but I think in 2 years time the Roos will become a very good side.They got blown off the park by Brisbane on the weekend but their first 4 weeks of the 2023 season was lot more competitive than the games they dished up in the last 3 seasons.

I'm confused why non-Norf supporters would be booing him. Did he doing anything dirty during the match?

Good to hear you blocks comment on the merit of non-Melbourne clubs with positive out comes !

He is fucken 19 years old! Don’t boo him he doesn’t deserve it he just wants to come home and play footy

I feel like the horn needs a fresh start maybe he would be a good fit at the West Coast ???

Cornes started it? So it wasnt ziebell and zurhaar taking potshots at a 19yo on social media? So it wasnt north fans creating pages dedicated to calling him a sook and a flog days after he requested the trade?

I was starting to feel sorry for Horne Francis, the booing is garbage. But Hinkley saying 'he made the courageous decision to come home' .. was too much.

He is 19 and the point is fair, but he's also got a 5 year contract extension at a 6-700k per year. That does come with some scrutiny. But it is getting a bit much lol.

If he can take the plaudits he can take the criticisms, 100% comes with the territory of being a number one draft pick especially leaving after only a year, port Adelaide and it’s media cronies are pathetic.

When did everyone start treating booing like it was the worst insult in the world 😂. Making a mountain out of a mole hill. Constantly drawing attention to it will only prolong it.

I'm a Crows supporter and find the hate bizarre, especially from people who don't follow the Kangaroos. Not sure if he'd get the same scrutiny if he was a Melbourne boy coming home from Gold Coast Suns...

Will not be last yoing player to get jeered by people at a football game it is still part of what happens at football venues

The kid is 19 years old still a kid and wanted to go home. What is the big deal

He is on 700k a year for 5 years at age 19 good on him the Bogans on 50 grand a year can boo all they want he has last laugh😂

interesting, when Judd left the West Coast to go back to Victoria, he was hailed a conquering hero.....but when an SA guy leaves Victoria to go home, then he's considered evil.

What are other clubs doing booing JHF? Leave it to North supporters thanks.

He didnt like Melbourne, sorry but does everyone have to like Melbourne.

Journos are worse than any fan. They whip up headlines and then try to pass it off to fans.

Vic just showing there class . It's not the roos alone it was all vic booing .

Nah mate, keep ragging on him. No one has ever left a non-Vic team to head home back to the almighty Victoria. How dare he choose to leave the state of Victoria to head home. Shame. Keep booing guys, Victoria needs to stand together. Don't let one guy tear apart your state!!!!

North hasnt even played Port yet so how are North fans booing him? lol Port played the Bulldogs, it was bulldog fans booing him.

this is no different what they did to Adam goods. but he got more coverage

If they can't handle the booing now, what about when Port go to Tassie to play Norf in a month. JHF acted like a spolied little mummy's boy, and that's why people are booing him. Aussie's don't like whingers.

David King is a joke

"He's 19 years old" and? Like my mum use to say "play with the big kids. Get treated like a big kid"... Booooo jhf ya w⚓

Nope. I call for more of it actually. The kid is the most gutless wonder since Buckley and seeing that wanker cry after 2018 made me smile too.
