You can pretty much guarantee at least one of those will be injured at any given time so I don’t think it’ll be an issue.Abundance of tall backs.
Brand, BZT, McBride, Ambrose, Hooker, Hurley, Francis, Cox.
Someone's playing a position other than backline. I hope it's not Brand.
Yep. It's quite sad that that works too. I'm giving exHawks conditioning guy the benefit of the doubt. As Truck inherited, so too did exHawks conditioning guy.You can pretty much guarantee at least one of those will be injured at any given time so I don’t think it’ll be an issue.
A few will be retiring and some won't make it.Abundance of tall backs.

Certainly looks physically a few preseasons off, which could really hammer your confidence I imagine.Brand so far this off season has been off the boil by all reports
Francis 2.0Certainly looks physically a few preseasons off, which could really hammer your confidence I imagine.
Francis 2.0

Did his brother die too?Francis 2.0
Did his brother die too?
Agreed. Calling someone behind the 8 ball Francis 2.0 isn't needed.....comment probably not needed.
Moving on.
DELISTA 196cm, 18yo Key defender who hadnt kicked a ball in anger within a competitive setting in over 18 months struggles to keep up with seasoned AFL players in his first season...
Stop the presses.
I never knew that Francis brother died. That’s extremely tough stuff in the late teens. When in Aaron’s career did that happen?Agreed. Calling someone behind the 8 ball Francis 2.0 isn't needed.
Francis brother passed away. It's about time people stopped bagging out his first few years at the club and accept grief is a campaigner of a thing.
A year before he got drafted iirc. Four boys I think, but Hayden was the one he was closest to and was his greatest supporter. They apparently had plans to move to Queensland together if Aaron got drafted to Brisbane, which was Hayden's favourite team. The rest of the family supported the Bombers (including Aaron). I believe Aaron had Hayden's name in texta on the inside wall of his footy boot.I never knew that Francis brother died. That’s extremely tough stuff in the late teens.

Yeah I didn't know either. I thought his brother had been un-well at some point (but I assumed had recovered), and Francis was dealing with mental health issues.I never knew that Francis brother died. That’s extremely tough stuff in the late teens. When in Aaron’s career did that happen?

AFL Draft 2015: The reason Aaron Francis plays football
Draft prospect Aaron Francis was still wearing his premiership medal when he saw his dying brother, Hayden, hooked up to machines in intensive care.www.theage.com.au
I believe it is "he was well behind his opponent so could not affect the contest"Cody Brand
“Brand played key back for most of the game. He had a couple of big contests where he spoiled really well. He got led to the ball a few times, which is something we’re working on with him. It was really good to see him out there working hard, getting used to the pace of game and learning.”

'led to the ball'... As in he isn't good at reading it himself? Isn't that supposed to be a key trait in defence...
