Would love to hear how Bomber fans view Francis. Every time I watch him play he honestly to me leaves a lot to be desired in terms of defending and kicking.
He can take a mark though, unfortunately I’ve seen him in a few contests where he goes third man up and drops the mark or doesn’t kill the ball and goes behind for a goal.
One thing Essendon have been great at is drafting key backs, Hooker & Hurley are still A grade defenders but Ridley looks a future star and Zerk-Thatchers looks a good player too.
Never felt once Parish or Francis have lived up to their draft potential. But Francis has a lot of talent just seems to lack the footy smarts at this stage of his career.
