Can I get Don's supporters thoughts on Aaron Francis? Thoughts on role/scoring potential? Quite liked the way he goes about it the couple of times I’ve watched him play in the last couple of years. Has a bit of Rory Laird about him.

I’m going to have a long, hard think tonight about
Yeah that's Gov... and when he cops a knock on field... He's looks like he's about to die, before making a miraculous comeback and beasting it, lol
Everything about him other than the obvious talent just reeks of suburban footballer. He’s a joy to watch out there running around with all the beach bods around him, making them look like fools :ROFLMAO:

He is the best thing since sliced bread...

but don't think he'll score particularly well while still competing with Hurley, Hooker, Ridley, Redman, BZT for intercepts... all we have is intercept defenders...

He is a gun! He will get some spike scores, but probably still too early to take the gamble on him in SC.

EDIT: @Crabby Skills beat me to it and said it better!

I'm with you on that but i get the Young selection as back up ruck coz he done well scoring goals in Marsh. I not a fan of Trengove but he is a better Ruck scrapper that can actually go body to body around the ground better.
As I said, I didn't watch the game. I'm not sure where Lewis Young was played last night. If English, who is 9cm taller than Young, was manhandled by Grundy, Young had no hope for body on body against Grundy. I would have played Trengove as the second ruck and allowed him to bash and crash against Grundy to tire him out late in the quarters after English had a go. I would have played Lewis Young on Cox, Keath on Mihocek and Naughton in defence to be third man up against Cox. Schache comes in at CHF. No Gardner or Cordy.

He played mostly fwd/ruck but was needed as a spare in Defence the way it turned out had something like 18 inside 50s so wasn't gettin near it had -1 Sc till 3qtr time ended up with no score.

Don't forget to select your 'E' for each line. Something so basic that I'd almost forgotten to do it amidst who to pick for my team.
And for those playing around with who to have as your captain loop donut. Don’t forget to keep checking you have them set as captain. Each time you try out another option the captain defaults to your dearest player left to play.
