He averaged 16.5 disposals, 3.0 marks & 2.9 tackles.

Horne-Francis is a consideration for season long fantasy in 2023, he will likely see increased opportunities through the midfield at Port Adelaide than what he did in 2022 at Nth Melbourne which should provide genuine upside scoring potential.
He’s likely a late round option in standard draft leagues but keep in mind any substantial midfield increase with a willingness to potentially take him earlier than expected.
