Player Watch #10 Aaron Francis

[The King!]

There is a world where he could be the third tall/ spare defender if he got regular opportunity.

Try him forward let him play for the ball

He wouldn't fit in our forward line, he can mark above his head.

Francis is a good honest player. Yes he's depth but you know what you get. And before you start he ain't that bad.

Still waiting on his contact extension. Maybe we're waiting for someone else to be delisted before we commit?

Tomlinson?

Tomlinson?

I'm thinking someone like Marchbank or DGB who are not yet delisted. Seeing what happens to them

Tomlinson?

lol that would require the club to do some “recruiting”

Heading into next year we already have McCartin, Melican, Rampe, Hamling, Edwards, Snell and Cochrane to play KPD / Interceptor. There are promising tall defenders available in the draft. We also have Mills and Blakey available to play 3rd tall in defence if required.

With 4 national draft selections available but only currently 3 senior list spots free, I favour de-listing Francis to free up the 4th spot. I think it's clear Francis is as good as he will ever be, which is clearly not up to the level and its time to replace him with someone who potentially has a higher ceiling.

He's been tried forward and he looked as natural a fit as I would in the front row of a chorus line.

I reckon that's an updgrade as a depth player than Francis

SwansProudly - until the rookie draft, this thread should, alas, be tagged "delisted".
