reports are he wants assurances he has a spot, preferably in defence.

So essendon need to commit to Francis back, Hooker forward if all are fit by the sounds of things.
I'd do that. I like Hooker at either end (sure there is a joke in there), and don't like Francis forward.
Francis, Hooker, Hurley with Saad,McKenna and one other in defence?

Who else is played back?

Ambrose has been in ripping form. Makes his opponent earn every touch and his intercept marking seems to be steadily improving. Francis needs to improve defensively because right now the Hurley/Gleeson 3rd and 4th talls is more effective defensively.
 
Gleeson and Ambrose
So one tall needs to come out

Either drop one. Or Hooker can go forward.

Does that mean he's likely to be on the trade table? What do you think Essendon would ask for him?

No we don’t want to lose him but I guess as he’s uncontracted so can force a trade if he wants. The ideal thing to happen is for a club to convince Hurley to leave and give us a first for him.
 
King kicked most of his goals on Hooker
but you are right. Francis and Sicily don't work in the same side.
Yeah definitely not a target of ours, Hartley would be a good fit for us though. Francis had a stinker last week, he got outmarked a few times by king, might not of kick all his goals on him, but he had a pretty poor game

bound to happen to a kid yet to play 25 games.
just gotta keep him in that spot and get him to 50 asap.
 
Still no news on his contract? It's sounding more and more likely he wants a trade

Why?

He said he would sort it out when the season is over.

Our season is still alive until most likely Thursday night.
