Rehab and conditioning for this guy, ease him in late in the season, get another preseason into him, then let him loose in 2017.

Yup chances are he'll never debut, cut the fat now.

 

[SherbertLemon]

And so it begins.

 

[EnolaGay]

He'll be fine, they've put him on Gumby's rehab programme.

 

[Shane Hird]

No rush. Gives him a chance to improve his FIFA ranking.

True, now he'll finally be able to conquer division 1.

 

[Autobahn]

Just get him fit for the grand final, in 2019.

Reading between the lines it seems EFC is unhappy with Francis' fitness levels when he arrived at the club.

 

[Old Campaigner]

They would've know about his fitness from all the testing they do at the combine

Pretty sure they were well aware of his OP and lack of training before joining the club.

Not sure what lines you are reading between. Everyone knew about the issues he had pre draft. He was getting close to playing and now has a minor calf injury.

Francis Didnt test at the combine.

The ghost of gumby always walks in a high draftee who cant get on the park early... hard to relax! but the smart part of your brain must kick in and say, its only a few little injuries.
