My Boy Draft 2022: Pick 29, Mr Bultitude

A game for utilities. My how it's changed...

It was Francis's selling point in the draft, he dominated in all positions and I believe he can still do that eventually at AFL level

 

[Runk]

I remember the only utilities we had were Peter Bradbury, Tony Elshaugh and Nobby Clarke.

Pretty sure he said Power forward that can rotate through midfield or third defender.

Thought this comment from Dodoro was a bit strange.

Wonder why only third tall defender?

I would imagine it's because he would want to see him locked down on a gorilla. DPS would be able to confirm but I imagine he's more the Fletcher mould.

It would be to use him for his best trait and that's to intercept mark, his speciality isn't to wrestle and stick on an opponent, when in defence he can intercept like crazy.

Look at how Roughead has been able to work through the midfield quite effectively at times.

Most of the young KPP's seem relatively mobile coming through these days; easy to see how having an aggressive bloke that's around the 100kg mark pushing through the centre square is going to cause some carnage. Even players like Hawkins are working a long way up the ground now.

 

[Killer_Mike]

Yeah, stay at home forwards or even Full backs are finished.

Something I noticed Disco say was "full forward" in relation to something, then he corrected himself and said "tall forward" as their is no full forward any more.

I think it was Disco anyway.

It's further reason why Hartley is toiling away in the VFL when most expect him to be playing seniors.

There is no chance - zero - that we drop Langford for Francis.

Nada. None.

193cm and 92kg of raging ranger! Just hope he plays forward will help Hooker and Joe immensely I reckon

Obvious inclusion after his game last week. Franga is an absolute freak.

"And the Frangzac Day medal goes to ...'

I wouldn't expect 4 quarters of consistent, refined footy BTW - but I would and do expect some seriously exciting glimpses of WTF-factor (this is like x-factor but more explosive and makes you spill yr beer)
