Not enough. We need LUDRICOUSdrive hype!
Run em ragged Red.
Regardless of how this game ends you can tell there is something there. Something special.
Second half will tell us more.
Why?
He has been brilliant so far, everything we would have expected. Only 6 touches but he has had a lot more influence than that, lots of def touches, tackles and winning contests.
Great first half back.
Completely disappeared in the 3frd. Kid needs to get serious about his fitness.
Are you cooked? He has gotten serioud about his fitness.
At a guess he doesnāt get up for the Melbourne game, but was impressive in the first quarter.
absolutely no fitness
He has improved miles ahead of where he was.
Which tells you just how far behind he actually is.
Still learning to play as a forward.
IMO needs to learn how to do it in the VFL. Rather than gain his 9 possessions in the AFL each week.
Nope. Francis stays. He can get fitness in the AFL.
As expected his fitness reduced his influence but if he can get it up there he will be one of our best. He just has so much quality oozing out of him.
Too good to be playing VFL.
Despite his fitness, never really lost any 1 on 1ās directly because he was unfit.
Was tackling and harrassing till the very end. Brings enormous pressure to the ball carrier and his skills are sublime.
Play him till heās absolutely cooked, rest him, then play him again.
Says the guy that said Essendon would get rolled by 10 plus goalsā¦
Mate didnāt have a tackle ā 2 poss after 1/2 time
liked that effort on the boundary in the last. great attack on man and ball. heāll come good
We would look great with a Johansson in our team
That was amazing, thatās what you donāt get from Langford, Langford would paddle it lackadaisically across the ground, Francis just starts throwing blokes aside, amazing.
Keep playing him, he will only get better when he adapts to the pace. Certainly wasnāt the worst out there and is prepared to put his body on the line.
