Waiting for our impending finals exit.

Haha probably

 

[Beerfish]

Surely they can't sit on it for a month???

You never know.

It was apparently agreed to on the same day Redman signed. Not sure why it hasn't been announced yet.

Wasn’t it reported that he was close but then lost his spot and wanted to reconsider his options. If it was from Tom Brown or McClure then ignore

 

[yodellinhank]

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE CONFIRM THESE REPORTS

I was going to ask you?

Yeh dunno, same bloke that told me Redman signed before it was announced said that Francis signed as well (same day). Unless something seriously went wrong, I assume they're just waiting to announce it.

 

[DERO]

HE IS GOING TO ADELAIDE YOU FOOLS

You're going to Adelaide.

 

[ghostdog]

All these re-signings are awesome.

 

[The Donners]

All these re-signings are awesome.

It’s a show of faith. Even if some of us have lost a little... depending on whether we win or lose each week!

So true. If they players are content, that speaks volumes for the football dept things that go on that we know nothing of.

 

[Cold Sober]

Fingers crossed they sign him and soon.

 

[fishardansin]

You're going to Adelaide.

 

[ghostdog]

Francis has played well tonight. Hard at packs and the ball. Elite disposal to find the corridor at times. He can only get better.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Yeah after watching tonight's game I couldn't get a contract in front of him fast enough. He's a gun

 

[eDPS]

Has gone past Hurley yet Hurley will be on far better coin than him next year

 

[Goat Hird]

really talented

 

[fairbump_playon]

There’s a whole other level in front of him.

 

[Blind Turn]

Best part of our night was watching this bloke announce himself as the real deal. Another solid preseason will see him in our best handful of players next season.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Took a step forward tonight. Obviously he's one of my favorites so I've been pulling for him to come good and tonight he showed just how good he can be.

 

[eDPS]

Just look at his time on ground and it’s really positive to see him not look gassed near the end

A bit pre season and he should be huge for us next year

 

[vast]

must keep.

 

[Vander18]

What an interesting cat this guy is....pretty sure he believes he’s the best player on the field every time he runs out. For all the homesickness and other stuff, his self-belief as relates to footy is Buddy-like.

Made some blues with positioning and timing tonight but cracked in, took the game on and on balance was very good.

 

[Zach Package]

Hope for Aaron’s sake he hasn’t put pen to paper yet.

He has the chance to be a genuinely special, transformative player

 

[eth-dog]

3 years. Please.

 

[Loonerty]

Clearly our best last night.
