My Boy Draft 2022: Pick 29, Mr Bultitude

So we did end up drafting a KPF last year after all.

I do recall someone posting on Blitz about his height being 194cm, might have been after talking to Aaron's father.

Had him at 94kg aswell gonna be a beast next year

If Francis can end up a holding down a second KPF position in the next year or two it allows us to play a spine of Hooker - Hurley - Daniher - Francis. IMO that could be far better than when we had Carlisle forward as he has so much more potential forward ability than Jakey.

not sure what's meant by 'potential forward ability'. carlisle's issues were hardly that he didn't have potential as a forward. the guy ripped games apart at time playing as a tall there.

Carlisle absolutely could have been a genuine forward if he didn't crack the sads. Issues were all mental.

Anyway, that's for another thread.

Built like Tarzan, played like... uhh... whatever the acceptable suggestion here is that isn't sexist.

George of the Jungle. Played like George of the Jungle. Although maybe that's more appropriate for Hurley always running under the ball.

How 'bout that Aaron Francis!

Dude this comment is ludicrous.

Carlisle played some ridiculously good footy as a forward at AFL level. Francis has three really good highlights as a forward at VFL level.

Carlisles game against Dogs was probly the best forwards performance we have had since Lloyd

Or the 18 clunks against Collingwood - as Doss said, issues were mental

Who destroys a man first next year? Ambrose or Francis?

Carlisle could've become the best player in the competition with the right attitude.

Still might!

 

[Milanista28]

Still might!

Will become an elite backman again, Won't become the best player in the comp unless he switches forward.

 

[Rack Watts]

I don't think Carlisle has it between the ears. Has the talent though. The newly formed chip on his shoulder may help?

* Carlisle, it was Reimers vs GC.

 

[Rack Watts]

Ah Kyle Reimers, speaking of limitless talent with no brain.

 

[Loonerty]

How did the topic turn to Carlisle???

This is Francis' thread guys.

I think it's because they are both swingmen, and Francis was taken with the pick we got with Carlisle. They'll be forever compared.

Hey, hey, hey! He kicked 8 goals in a match ... once.

It's that kind of attitude that's holding back our players

 

[Vindicater]

Sounds like he has lost some weight and been working hard.

Can't wait to see him dominate in the years to come.
