Wowee, good stuff Aaron.

 

[Doss]

That is comfortably the trimmest and fittest I have seen Francis look. Good!

 

[Lore]

Looks like a different person

 

[Stopher]

He doesn't look like a hobo either.

 

[Donakebab]

Get Stringer on the Franga program!

 

[Autobahn]

Sure does

His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit.

 

[Pweter]

I've not seen him play any VFL but is it fair to say he is similar in his playing style to Jeremy McGovern? Sounds like it based on the posts in here over the past fortnight (Francis may tackle a bit more/harder too by the sounds).

We could do with a player like that, a legit 3rd tall boss.

Not comparing talent or potential here, just playing style.

 

[vast]

Well done. Aaron.

 

[DERO]

Far out footy is a rollercoaster ride.

Great to see this supreme talent on track to turn it around. Great stuff.

 

[Maddogm]

Ha ha!! He's even got a bit of definition in his arms (can someone who goes to the gym back me up...is that what they call it???)

Can confirm, they're called arms.

He's an unfit Goddard.

The ulitmate would be for Francis to burst on the secne in the seniors and make the Crows and Port look silly in not taking him last year.

Don't believe what you read. Would you pay top dollar for a broken down horse? Essendon were never realistically prepared to deal..

193 cm who are passionate, have good hands, are great kicks of the pill and play mostly half back.

Francis seems to like it physical more than BJ though.

[AcuteWhistle]

Sure does

Wow, honestly wouldn't have recognised him without the colours on. He must be running out games better by the look of him, no?

 

[BrunoV]

Haynes is a goodish comparison.

I think he's really almost a carbon copy of Hurley who can take contested marks.

He's much more KPP/contested than Goddard.

Better with each game by all accounts. Needs a few more weeks though.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

He look to have almost done an Oliver!

 

[Mootsy]

a Jamie Oliver?

 

[Cold Sober]

As sure as I'm never gonna win lotto, if and when he is ever selected it will only be for one week; then he'll be rested.

Can you recall Goddard doing a contested mark?

Way off the mark / Francis is famous for his contested marking.

Goddard’s contested marks are most often on somebody’s shoulders.

I recall him taking a contested mark to almost win a gf
