If only Burton was as good at being a Football Manager as he was a player...

Had some pretty big brain fades as a player
Perhaps it was an omen ?

May have been posted elsewhere as I’ve now heard it from two different people....but Worsfold’s wife and kids apparently were already back in WA and the whole lot planned to move back regardless of the result tonight. He’s out of Bombers, big chance of going to Freo in some role (not necessarily coach).

Rutten in at bombers with some level of assistance.

Mrs W didn't want to live in Adelaide. Tried Melbourne, however has been back in Perth for a long time. Nothing to do with tonights results

 

[hey shorty]

So I guess we will find out on Monday that Francis wants to be traded to Adelaide.......

Or not.

What? He was better than average. Way better.

He was shit. One of the dumbest campaigners to play the game. Couldnt do the simple things, always had to make a meal of it.

 

[hey shorty]

He was s**t. One of the dumbest campaigners to play the game. Couldnt do the simple things.

He wasn't **** at all. Had some brainfades for sure but he also has a highlight reel matched by few in a AFC jumper.

He could take a mark. Thats where is football ability ended.

 

[King Elvis]

Jenkins would be on a fixed contract, for sure.

Bonuses for B&F and goals
Etc.

I have seen variants of the Worsfold story over various platforms

But Rutten? Caroline Wilson has been pushing this hard but to me it doesnt make sense. Externally at least

Blake Caracella has a better CV than Truck . I thought Caracella moved across , or was hired early , because he saw a senior role coming his way. I would be staggered if Caracella moved to Essendon just to be someone elses mentor

But footy people do strange things

 

[Geoffa32]

Watching Essendon last night made me think Jenkins is a a good fit for them.

They move the ball.quick and Daniher to come in to take the best defender.

If Keath is gone, I wonder if Jenkins could be part of a trade to get Francis.

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is Daniher going to Sydney?

 

[moogerfooger]

Seems likely. Jenkins for Francis?

Yeah at one stage he and mattner were seen as the best wingers in the game.

 

[Geoffa32]

100% this. People talk about $500K as if its a monster contract. And yet to get unproven players out of GWS and GC, Victorian teams are regularly paying kids well in excess of this.

People need to realise that a $450-500K contract is actually middle of the road in 2020. In fact you could argue its under market value for a 2 goal a game KF.

I got shot down a while ago for suggesting Jenkins was a bargain. A guy who consistantly kicks 35 plus goals a year on $500k is rare.

The only reason I would move him on is his link to Crocmedia.

Is he any good .....I'm genuinely unsure

I always find it entertaining when players say they haven't made a decision about what they want to do and are leaving it until the end of the season...then 2 days later decision made!

The decision couldn't have been that hard to make!

 

[Crowbots are dead]

Reckon that 75% of rumours in the no comment thread are cow poo . The problem is working out which ones.

 

[70lethal]

Does Francis get out of a jog?
Gibbs mark 2?

I wouldn't bet on it - kid can play, and doesn't need to play mid, so running isn't so important

Don't think he wears long sleeves.

As a 3rd tall I would want him getting to as many intercepts as possible and I didn't see that last night on lots of occasions.
Has the ability no question, not sure about the desire

Do we really need to trade in a 3rd tall??
Surely that role would be to a youngster trying to learn the trade before he became a kpb

That thread was pretty funny when they start talking about how they'll get Crouch for less than $500K a year, won't have to even give up a 1st round pick and we'll potentially pay part of his salary as well.

There is a 0% chance of any of those things happening.

I tend to agree

He seems to have so many great qualities, just needs to find his spot in the right structure.

+1

Has taken some of the best overhead marks ever by a Crows player. IMO only Modra clearly beats him.
