Was just looking at the grand final footy record and it has Francis listed at 194cm. Interesting If it's correct
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.

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
