Agree about holding back on Francis-Horne. Would like to note, there is a young WA player named Angus Sheldrick who did a number on Francis-Horne and out performed as best on ground. Has really come on in recent times. The number one at present Horne may deserve. But in the long term may not be
Why we should all be holding our horses on Horne-Francis
I am originally from WA, been in vic for past 14 years. So I have watched with interest the possible prospects for West Coast. My post is not just about Francis-Horne. The kid deserves his current status at number 1. I would also go as far as to say a few local WA kids have been touted above Sheldrick. E.g. Amiss and Gorringe.
It comes down to what clubs need too. But I can’t go past the second efforts and inability of top quality kids unable to answer Sheldrick in full flight. And a kid who covers the whole ground with repeat efforts, and forces the opposition to give away frees to try slow him down. Gets kneed in the ribs while in the ground and bounces straight up keeps playing without a care.
There’s a temperament you love to have and see at any club. One to watch, that’s my main point.
