As the bolter of the mid-tier draft selections, Francis Evans surprised many when snagged at pick 41. Most clubs only saw Evans' two Calder Cannons games before he was sidelined by a heel injury that required surgery. The Cats saw much more potential in his VAFA outings, where he booted 21 goals in five games including eight in one match. As a medium-sized forward, Evans has excellent overhead marking and respectable disposal on both sides of his body. Considering that he was still on limited duties at the draft combine due to injury, Evans will be a step behind the pace as the preseason ticks into full gear. He could be one to watch for the future but not for the present. Next.
