When the Head health and conditioning guru is talking you up as having a outstanding presesason then i think Francis has turned the corner, well done Franga keep the good work up.
Either way, it’s a good sign.
But personally i’m tempering expectations. I’m not considering Francis anywhere near best 22 until he actually performs and proves it in the 1’s
I’m not even considering him an Essendon player until he plays at least 300 games in the rednblack, including 4 flags & has at least two sons who each play 200 each with us & 2 flags each too.
And even then, only maybe; still might have my doubts about him & whether he really wanted out in 2017.
For those with no moral, ethical or aesthetic objections to listening to SEN or Wallace, check this out.
Alternatively, the synopsis is we when we re good we are very good, but when the big contested bullies of the AFL hit us with a blowtorch, we will melt.
Yep… but at the end, they all agree we are the team they expect to be the biggest improvers in 2018. Which would be some achievement given we finished 7th… (or 8th depending on viewpoint).
