In years to come I hope we can look back and say ‘thank fark that Francis is still at essendon’.
He’s got a very high ceiling if it all comes together.

Aaron “The Cathedral” Francis.
Has an extremely high ceiling.
(Also the focus of hopes, prayers, and a belief in resurrection)

― Confucius
Is that a Gleeson vs Francis comparison?
Fight Night.
Main Event.
Willow Tree Gleeson V Cathedral Francis.
“The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character”.
Albert Schweitzer
Personally: if they’re both playing good football, I reckon it’s gunna be hard to leave either of them out of the side.
The most important thread.
Who let Mick Malthouse in here?
Mick Malthouse.
Education: St Patrick’s College, Ballarat, Damascus College Ballarat, St Paul’s College, Ballarat
Fair to say that Micky might know a thing or two about Cathedrals.
It’s not the only thing Mick might have intimate knowledge of, with an education CV like that…
How can you pell?
Jesus.
If you want to see Francis in the midfield, have a look at the second quarter of the VFL against the cats on YouTube.
He looks sharp, focused and scary. The ceiling is very, very high.
I would go as far to say, ceiling off.
I hope they give him a game just before the bye, allow him a weeks recovery from the game and a break before his next one. It’s also bris in bris away from the spotlight.
He is a crash and bash midfielder that could add something different in our team.
Players this year that have played around the 68% ate Green when playing, Myers and Clarke/mutch.
That is about the % that Francis could play from the bench as impact player.
Look at Naitanui time on ground percentage.
Imagine one bench spot for Langford, Stringer and Francis to rotate through.
50% mid 50% bench for Francis.
50% mid 25% forward and bench for Langford.
50% fwd 25% midfield and bench for Stringer.
Outcome of 60 touches, 15 clearances, 15 marks, 3 goals.
Like rest rest or RIP rest?
Nah, he’s an intercept mark backman… you know, like Hooker, Hurley, Ridley, Gleeson…
FFS Jackets!
Big red steam train about to get let loose
Get on board or get out of his way!
F**k yeah
