pretty sure Aaron Francis just walked past me on the Parade...surely it's a done deal then [emoji1360]

...on his way to the 24 hour pie shop was he?

I for one expect the Crows will be top 4 shoe-in next year.
Yes, their plug and play system stands up well during the H&A when the defensive pressure isn’t there from a lot of teams (including Port :mad: ). You need the class to go all the way and minus Lever and Smith, plus numerous players at or near 30 that are key components of their side, it’ll be 3 - 6th as my guess. Much as there’d be many lol’s id they missed the eight, I can’t see that happening.

I just don't get the Aaron Francis "homesickness" angle. He's from Loxton.
Quiet shy kid from what I understand. Off the farm in the mallee country below Loxton. Brother passed away a couple of years ago. Wasnt a number 6 draft pick for nothing. Worth a look at him.

He has a lot of close friends in Adelaide. Finished high school in Adelaide.
 
Aaron Francis. If he wasn't contracted still i'd seriously look at rookie listing him in the PSD (if that still exists)?

I def wouldn't be giving up a whole lot for him.
 
He Boarded at PAC which means he was also used to living away from home. Lifelong Essendon supporter to boot. Something doesn't add up.

It might mean that he's used to spending time away from home but at the same time, the boarding house becomes a second home in and of itself. I guarantee you that he would've made plenty of close friends whilst in the boarding house, many of whom will still be based in Adelaide. He would have leant on a lot of his mates there for support after what happened to his brother as well.

It’s really like saying Chad Wingard has no attachment to Adelaide because he’s from Murray Bridge.

Loxton is a couple of hours away if you live on the right side of the city.
