Ex-#10 Saint Francis, off to the Sydney Diocese

He gave me the old frustrated feeling for the first 3 quarters - then, suddenly, the 4th came around and he was instrumental in the win.

Will Sydney Play Him Upfield

Came good after half time in a big way. Stood and played tall out marking McKay a couple of times and earned a free another time. At one stage he even ventured to the wing and set up an attack with a well weighted pass into the forward line that hit an open target. Such a performance would have done wonders for his confidence. Too bad we didn’t see more of this sort of play when he was with us.

It’s because we never really gave him a go at what he was good at.

[Captain_Jack]

Yeah we did. He had one purple patch and that was all.

[Humble_Minion]

Yeah, he had so many false dawns in his time with us that Queenslanders were worried he’d fade the curtains.

I always thought that Franga might make it as that intercepting backman with a piercing kick to advantage. He did show signs in early games, but he was really never played again in defence that much even in the reserves.

I wonder where Brad Scott would play him if he was still on the list.

The VFL I’d imagine

Poor Frang.
Playing poorly tonight.

[barry_day]

So what’s new?

[Captain_Jack]

Had a few moments, but in between those moments was the problem. Competed against King. Cost the Swans a couple of goals, including the last when he gave a slow HB to Warner who was tackled, lost possession and then King kicked the sealer.

[stander2]

Still looks like he’s gassed half the time

[b00bytrap]

He displays no intensity or desire for the contest. I thought maybe a change of environment might give him the kick start he so badly needed, but no. Sad for him but in the end it’s up to him. I’m glad he’s no longer on our list.

[Bully]

He reminds me of an athlete that came really late to the sport or came over from Ireland or something. I always thought it was him settling in to AFL but clearly it’s the norm to look lost, confused and show one or two glimpses amongst multiple errors per game.

[Duplicity]

Done well to get another look in but think it’s his last contract, which is a shame

[whereswalla]

I thought he competed well given he was mostly up against Max King who is bigger and more athletic. No doubt he got beaten by King but what he just hasn’t got it seems is a strong competitive drive. Not many second efforts after he spoiled an aerial mark; strolling around the contest when he should be on his toes or running to the back to the defensive side. I did have a slight soft spot for him and still hope he can have a decent career but must confess we’re not missing him at all!!

He was our Weideman before Weideman. ALMOST takes the mark, ALMOST hits the target, ALMOST spoils, ALMOST kicks the goal.

[westozziebomber]

Weideman is that far ahead of him its not funny. And he’s not even that good

[Clone_Hirdy]

He’s really not. They are both failed first round picks.

Agree 100%. The thing he showed last night was a total lack of appetite for the contest, bordering on disinterest. He is allergic to the idea of applying pressure and where others run, he is content to stroll briskly.
