News Orazio Fantasia departs for Carlton

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Horrific decision from the get go as many posters flagged. Ah well, rearview mirror now.

 

[Marmozet]

BT would say his name funnily. That was his biggest claim to fame.

Raz driving back to Victoria.

We've had a bit of luck with 'cant get their body right' trade ins.

This time we didn't.

Oh well we still have Jed mcshitcampaigner

 

[JimmyBC]

Wonder if Andrew Russell can work a miracle with him? highly doubtful

The only thing that annoys me about it is we haven't addressed our lack of crafty small forwards, if Rioli misses any significant time there's basically nothing.. except spuds and makeshift types.

It was all a Fantaseeya

If he can't crack at least 20 games over the next two years, it just highlights how stupid we were to cough up so much to Essendon (gee, that sounds familiar) in the first place. If he can crack 20 games, then it just highlights how poor our fitness staff is.

 

[Mr Experience]

Well that's a shame but we were never going to offer him 2 years. Just hope he plays s**t against us if he plays.

I really liked Raz and I'll always remember his 4 goals in the 2021 QF... if only he wasn't made of glass

Have we? Glass ankles & Burton?

Dixon's most significant injury wasn't his ankles. Burton has been reasonable.

Good luck to Raz. Unfortunately he doesn't have the body to be an AFL player despite having the skills.

One bloke runs like he has a cast on his leg, the other bloke was famously on one leg in a final and shanked a crucial kick at goal. I'd argue how well we've done.

don't blame Burton because Ken thought an injured player was more suited to full forward than bench.

Didn't Burton go into the game under an injury cloud? Typical Daddy Donuts to play unfit players.

Possibly, then when he definitely was injured Ken put him in the goalsquare, where he was second worst player to ever be in the Port goalsquare, between Koch and the Farris Bros, because having fit players in the forward line isn't necessary to kick goals.

Terrible decision to make the trade we did but doesn't even make the top 10 most terrible decisions of Paux Adelaide.

 

[RossFC]

How has he gone and got a 2 year deal? Good luck to him, no way we should be matching that.

He has clearly taken onboard learnings from the genius Kenny Hinkley.

Correct, but can you dig me up a ready to go small forward with a bit of x-factor with pick 130 or whatever?

Rioli doesn't play full seasons either we are screwed in that area.

See ya, don’t let the door hit ya on the way out

Something we may have to look at next off-season. Until then some of our mids might need to chip in at half forward.

I loved the idea of Fantasia and still do. It is exactly what we need right now. But I would rather have Mannagh on our list next year than Fantasia.

Madness is doing the same thing again and expecting a different result. Voss was at Port when we recruited Orazio. Are we seeing the return of Mad Vossy?

 

[GoPorts]

No doubt Janus will be telling us all next year that you need at least 2 small forwards who average 1.4 goals a game or more as the reason why we've failed to make the top 8.
Poor ken just can't catch a break
