Yeah if there is one club that can do its the SwansIf the Swans can get him to reach his potential they truly are miracle workers. He hasn’t fired a shot since being drafted and has perennially looked bereft of the confidence and flare he showed as a junior.
Hope he goes well though.
Maybe after the Daniher fiasco? Should be a pretty straight forward deal though, maybe we are waiting on Melbourne to confirm the Weideman deal to do a simple three-way trade.Is there bad blood between sydney and essendon in trades ?
Nothing ever goes smoothly
Should deal francis regardless. Not like Weideman changes anything on the francis endMaybe after the Daniher fiasco? Should be a pretty straight forward deal though, maybe we are waiting on Melbourne to confirm the Weideman deal to do a simple three-way trade.
Swans and Essendon were ready to trade but Carlton were the ones who refused to improve their offer. Daniher trade needed the Papley trade to be completed firstMaybe after the Daniher fiasco?

Thank God that the deal fell through.Swans and Essendon were ready to trade but Carlton were the ones who refused to improve their offer. Daniher trade needed the Papley trade to be completed first

Honestly if we get a few points tacked on in the end then that's all I really want.
Eh, we only showed interest in Weideman over the weekend, and Melbourne were pretty focused on the Jackson deal up until yesterday. Not sure if Sydney were part of any other deals.Don't see why that would hold the overall deal up.
ie If you guys are happy with a R3 for Francis you'd think that deal could get done quickly
Then if Dodo wants to haggle over 10-15 spots in the 3rd round for Weideman he can go for his life as a separate trade.
Its one of those situations where its strange that fringe players who realistically are worth R3 or R4 are taking till the last day to get done...

The Weideman one was late altogether, only met the new coach on Monday.Don't see why that would hold the overall deal up.

We were probably waiting on a couple of picks to fall into place to see if we can grab some extra points for Alwyn junior

Francis himself hadn’t met Brad Scott yet either.
I don’t think it’s much of an impediment other than it’s probably reasonable for the player to talk to the new coach so that he can make an informed decision about what’s best for him, and from the club side it’d be a bit rude to hear a player wants to leave and not even try to talk to him about it.
Overall though the writing is on the wall, he needs a fresh start and Sydney can give him that, along with a bit of anonymity.
Interestingly enough, we're probably going to try to trade up to one of your firsts come draft night to see if we can sneak another pick in before GWS probably bid on Davey.Fair enough
Sydney hadn't been involved in anything else other than trying to swap one of our R1's into a F1

Not completely true, upgrades the vfl teamJust basically a downgrade this year
Perfect trade
In the end we traded it to Melbourne in the Weideman deal anywaySlide back 5 places and a r4 pick for Francis, seems fairly realistic for his worth
Fingers crossed we get something out of him
Yep saw that, so in effect you traded 42 + some junk late picks for WeidemanIn the end we traded it to Melbourne in the Weideman deal anyway
We traded 42 for Weid and some late junk picks.Yep saw that, so in effect you traded 42 + some junk late picks for Weideman
