Can anyone shed any light on Fabian Francis and his football future?
The word in W.A. is that he was coming over to play for South Fremantle and would be ready for the 4th May game.
However, I have heard since that he may be getting cold feet about the move west ???
As far as I was aware he was working off field for Freo this year, which also involved playing for South.

The latest I have heard from his family up here in Darwin and connections at the Port club are that Freemantle have reneged on some of the conditions (main one being the level of pay) that were originally agreed to for Fabian to be an assistant coach and development officer.
He is still in Adelaide at the moment and I've been told he is currently training with the Port Magpies - maybe one of the Port regulars here can confirm he is training down at Alberton at the moment. It's been suggested he is looking at playing with the Magpies in the SANFL this year - which would be a huge pickup if it occurs. There has also been some rumours that Norwood and one other club are chasing his services for this season.
As for next year there are suggestions he is wanting to resume his career with Port in the AFL - as to what happens only time will tell.

Dont know where Fabian is now but he was here in the west either last week or the week before and had a run with the Dockers.Rumour had it that he would play round 6 in the wafl.Me thinks after seeing him on the tele that he should change his to FLABBYAN.Very portly indeed.Certainly has been in a good paddock.
