Francis Evans was signed to the rookie list as part of the pre-season Supplemental Selection Period (SSP) in the 2025 pre-season.
Evans is a competitive small forward who thrives on a high-pressure game style. Agile at ground level with speed to break out of a contest, Evans poses a dangerous threat alongside his proficient overhead ability.
The 23-year-old had already committed to the Blues’ VFL program, showing his genuine want to play in the Navy Blue, but has now earned another chance at the top level.
Originally drafted to Geelong before heading across to Port Adelaide, Evans already arrives with AFL experience, featuring in 34 games across the two clubs, including 17 games in 2024 as well as three finals.
It’s a happy homecoming for Evans, who grew up in Brunswick and recently returned to Melbourne after stints at the Cats and the Power.
