My Boy Draft 2022: Pick 29, Mr Bultitude

Aside from his slipping over, he's actually done OK in a position he's not really made for (taking the number 1 gorilla). Considering where he's come from fitness and mental health wise, he's holding it together. Whilst this season will be tough for him (until Bambrose and Stewart return), it could be the making of him.

If stringer returns this week, hooker needs to go back to provide that cover and guidance.

Cant see how stringer, jones, wright and hooker all play fwd 50

If Truck didn't send Hooker back to stop Dixon, he is literally never going to send him back. Looks like Aaron is going to be minding the monster forwards until Stewart/Ambrose is back.

I agree, but I also see what citizen-erased is saying re the forward line with all the talls. Remember that before Hurley was struck by his infection issues, Hooker was training back and Hurley forward.

Ambrose is meant to be playing forward

true. but doesnt change the fact he needs to go there.
No FB options. AA FB sitting in the fwd line. Only we'd see this as a conundrum.

Francis was fine. Barely made a mistake playing Dixon.

would be the only players I reckon get close to stopping Dixons on the lead in all of that space.

Frang seems to slip over more than any other player in the AFL.

I was going to say second, but half the time it's Tippa just throwing himself around.

Love him, but gee, he frustrates me with his bump first instead of tackle and the going to ground. If he could improve in both these areas he'd be ever better than he is.

So you’re saying... if he could improve, he’d be better? I like it.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

He doesn't even need to not play key position, just not on the most dangerous tall forward. That gives him licence to sag off, intercept and rebound more, impact other contests as the third man up and limits the damage of his occasional lapses - and in turn frees Ridley up more too.

Absolutely monstered King

One of best games for the club.

A great performance

Toss up between this and his 2018 game against Port at Adelaide Oval for his best game. 2018 game for better highlights, this for being rock solid

 

[Blind Turn]

He will be even better once he is relieved of the duties of minding the key forward.

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

Just needs to continue believing in himself. Outstanding game from Francis today

 

[Yoda_]

Played within him self and did the basics outstandingly well albeit against a young raw KPF.

* it was fun to see him get the baseball mitt out and dominate the air again.

It feels like it's been a while.

 

[Don35]

Bloke can play. Not a coincidence that the Perceived best backs in the comp are always in the best teams

 

[fishardansin]

His attacking/risky kicking is less so now that the game has opened up.
