Jason Horne-Francis shares a lot of qualities with Dustin Martin: explosiveness, a dominant presence when he's on, ability to turn a match on its head with a burst that lasts only a quarter... but also a highly noticeable lack of running out four-quarter performances. Dusty managed to win three Norm Smith Medals and become a legend of the game after many years of not quite putting it together, and the Hornet may beat a somewhat similar path by the end of his career if he can reach his potential. For now, though, he is a dangerous floater who can't be relied upon every week in fantasy.

Jason Horne-Francis is in countless fantasy teams as the #1 draft pick and brightest footy prospect for a generation, with powers of impact and accumulation rarely seen in junior ranks. In the seniors at North Melbourne for his first game, he was used off a half forward flank, which is a well-worn path for draftee midfielders to ease them in to the rough and tumble of playing against adult bodies. As he is not going to be on-ball and North's midfield can tend to get smashed when not playing Hawthorn, fantasy coaches may experience some turbulence in his early scoring.
