Past #10 Aaron Francis

[sataris]

Francis becomes a Swan

It's done.

 

[caesar88]

Good luck to him, hope he goes well

 

[RUNVS]

My first dog was named Aaron. I loved him so I hope this is a good sign.

 

[sataris]

First of all.

How dare you.

 

[Milanista28]

Hope you can unlock his potential, good guy. Death of his brother clearly rocked him as a young lad, maybe out of the bubble with you guys he'll feel comfortable and be able to focus.

 

[Bloods86]

Happy with that, just a drop of 5 spots. That future 4th is hopefully going to be early 70s, at which point clubs are starting to pass anyway, so haven't really lost anything there. Couple of years later in comparison, but hopefully another Ted Richards

-esque story by the end of his career.

 

[RilesMacca]

A good get, keen to see how he gets on. Being out of the VIC bubble might be the cure for him to show his potential. Hopefully he'll create some healthy competition with Gould to be higher up the pecking order.

 

[sataris]

Will he take Naismith's #10?

 

[BarneyBent]

Pretty good result, didn't end up overpaying. Dodo going soft?

 

[Millky95]

Welcome to the Swans. Hope he puts in the work and plays some good football

Wonder how long the deal is for

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Welcome AyFray!

Run around after OFlo & build a tank mate. We'll need you covering some ground & playing a team defence which seemed completely foreign to Essendon the past few seasons.

Good luck!

 

[SSwans2011]

Good pick-up and seems like a commendable and perseverant guy, and the kind you want at the club. Even if he's not best 22, he's an upgrade on the depth that will be delisted.

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

Excellent trade by the Swans, I think Francis has a lot of ability and I have every confidence our coaching staff and club will help him achieve his potential!

Great addition to our defence, should help Rampe play even smaller now, as almost the Nick Smith role we have been missing!

Welcome and all the best Aaron!

[Heeney2Franklin]

Sydney player now get behind him!

 

[Zach Package]

He’s an enigma, but if anyone can unlock it I suspect you will be able to.

A side that consistently presses the ball carrier gives him the best chance to just back himself and go win the footy and distribute.

Best wishes to him, wouldn’t of thought there’s any animosity there, as has been previously said he’s had a bit of a sad upbringing and we just couldn’t give him the TLC.

 

[emblurr]

Yep I hope you guys can bring out the best in him.

 

[Nuggetz]

Goodluck to the young man. Hopefully he can reach his potential & in turn be a beneficial acquisition for us. Another player competing for a best 22 spot, building great depth. We'll need it for another tilt at the premiership.

 

[RocketBooster]

Could be the chance Francis needs and Swans will the beneficiary. Price is cheap enough not to complain

 

[BloodySwan]

Excited about Francis. Have watched many games of his time at Essendon and he's never been able to unlock it all. Has all the tools, excited to see what he delivers

 

[Kapers]

Look forward to comparing the Francis trades over the next few years.

 

[Cadsky]

Welcome to the swans Aaron. Looking forward to seeing you run around in Red and white

 

[The King!]

worth a try at that price

 

[ghostdog]

Always hoped Frank would put it together. He has shown glimpses of brilliance and elite skill and he doesn't shy away from contact. Really hope he can fulfil his potential because I want to see the player he really is, and he deserves to find joy after the **** he went through starting his career. Good luck, Franger!
