I’d actually love him to stay, be happy and succeed.
He’s the kind of player you would love to be barracking for.
With little interest in him this year another year is a win either way. If he breaks out and he stays we have a star or we have a player with trade value.
Francis won’t be going anywhere.
Or even Schache to WB and Stringer to Essendon.
Balancers via swaps of later picks wherever needed to make ti work. But all 4 clubs get a players they want (assuming WB would want Schache)
SEN said that Essendon were asking for a 2nd round pick but there was little to no interest from either Ade teams.
wow
Crows are not interested
They could move to Melbourne to be with their son!
If that is the case we need to give this kid every bit of support to help him succeed.
Bullshit, surely they would jump at him for that price!
Reckon both club and player need a good long chat after this trade period is over.
Kerr: “We can get all 3 without having to trade Aaron”"
If true then those rumors about his work ethic must be legit. The club spends a top draft pick on him and other clubs don’t even rate him worth a pick in the 30’s
Or they’ve done their homework, and don’t think he’s worth it.
Reeks of a ploy to motivate the player…
here I was hoping for their first this and next year 
Or they’re worried about his mental state.
Who knows. I find this all particularly difficult to believe. Reckon there’s some sort of campaign going on behind the scenes. No idea what’s going to be achieved, or who by, but there’s something that didn’t sound right.
The Adelaide clubs seem to be basing their valuation on Francis’ actual exposed form rather than Blitz’s hopes and dreams. I reckon a second rounder is fair.
Big wake up call.
Hooooooooly sheeeeeet, I friggin’ hope not.
Good.
No easy way out. And a fair assessment of him from outside the club.
