Recommitted Aaron Francis

[Crow till I die]

Francis is not worth the same as Stringer

no, but maybe Essendon give their second round pick back to the crows if pick 16 is involved. Therefore they use pick 16 for stringer in lie of using 2 x second round picks for Stringer that they may have thought were needed

The only way that is easy for Brisbane is if you're liberal with the lube

Very true but wouldn't be surprised to see it

 

[longdonkey]

Adelaide says yes- Brisbane say no
Adelaide says no- Essendon says yes
Essendon says no- bulldogs say yes

I see it like this :

Cameron if he improves could be well worth 12 but if he regresses could be worth 40
Francis if he gets fit could be worth 12 no problems but could end up delisted at 22 if he is lazy.
Stringer could be all Australian again but it could be in the penal league if he finds a younger girlfriend

each one has positives and negatives

 

[Bay Pie]

I heard of Essendon Fantasia and tippa but who the F is Francis that worth pick 16 .

This guy. Was pick 6.

 

[SCRAY72]

He is a bust. Not all top 10 picks work out. All clubs have had them.
Late second, early third rounder.

At the moment you are spot on with his worth which is why he will be staying.

I hope he can take that next step for you.

Yep.

Hoping he has a massive pre season and becomes the player we know he can be.

 

[Thetrader15]

If they get 12 reckon Crows would let go of 16 for Francis.

Lol

You had a pick 2 that you traded for 1.5 seasons of Wayne Carey

It was pick #4 when we traded it!

Francis needs to pull his finger out. Talent to boot but seems not to have the work ethic. Starting to remind me of the Troy Menzel situation. Man that guy is talented. I assume he just didn't put the hard yards in.

 

[Ambrosia]

I hope the Cows go after Francis for the kicks and giggles of watching them deal with Dodoro.
Would like to repay the joy they got from us bringing in Ryder and being told how badly we got pantsed until he got all Australian.

and it does make sense for them to go after him. If it was anyone but Essendon they'd be all in already

No one has ever claimed Essendon won the Ryder trade

Only way I’d take him is if it was for a pick in the 30’s.

Has shown nothing and apparently still is badly lacking the fitness to even PLAY afl let alone be good.

Should stay as Adelaide and Port won’t want to overpay but Essendon won’t deal him for nothing.

One of those awkward situations like Schace where his value to the club for where they were picked is higher than what it really should be now.

Well you can either admit you've blown your early picks on shit trades , shit drafting on players like john meeson, or traded a bunch of top ten picks out like the trade with Geelong or the trade to get brad crouch or you can admit to being a consistently mediocre side.


Having to listen to the bullshit about crows having no top ten picks that finals series was the biggest load of wank ever. If you are going to bring it up here you're asking for criticism.

Especially when Crouch is a pick 2. Mini-Draft ****in counts.

Yep that's a new one!

We got bent over by Ryder, everybody said it at the time, everybody still says it.

Fair to say essendon made their bed with that one

 

[King_Tredrea]

Luckily for the Crows that pick 2 ended up being Daniel Wells has had....a pretty poor career
