Traded #13: Orazio Fantasia - Off to Carlton as a delisted free agent, scored a 2 year deal?

[Yoda_]

So he will be as good as Hirdy? I like.

Reminds me a little of Justin Blumfield in playing style

Very Alessio if you ask me.

That goal was seriously classy.

And makes you see the Boris comparison that BrunoV is on about. I can picture a nuggety red head doing that in a Dons strip, finishing it off with a little fist pump jump.

Just imagine if he'd played in 2000. You would be able to say FANTASIA 2000. Hurrr hurrrr hurrrr

After rewatching the Melbourne NAB cup game I think he reminds me of Kade Simpson from the blues.

Reminds me of a young Mother Theresa.

Looks a lot like Richard Harmon

I along with a few others noticed on the weekend a different role for Orazio. Im sure its got something to do with his development and defensive work, but do we really need another to learn how to sweep off the half back line? Why wasnt he played forward since thats what he was recruited for? (Im assuming that to be the case)
If he has some defensive deficiencies why cant they be developed on the forward line?

 

[BrunoV]

Really good today.

Is almost the complete package that needs to be added to the afl team.

Hell end up being an endurance machine and may just be too good to leave forward...the ethnic Bewick!

 

[efcboy]

Or he could be Andrew Ukovic 2nd edition!

 

[lets_fly_up]

Think hes a better option then chapman tbh

Should really be playing ahead of Chapman, But y'know, TOP 4!!!!!!

Will be signing a new 2 year contract.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Seems to be tracking beautifully. From a skinny project pick, he is starting to fill out and become a factor in VFL games.

If he keeps on going with his upward projectile then he may get a few games this year but he should really be pushing next year as we may have 1 or 2 older brigade who have moved on.

Has something we are desperately in need of... pace.

 

[Doss]

Yeah, he's one of our under the radar types who I'm quite excited about.

If we are re-signing him, that's great news indeed. Has pace, a dash of class and for a kid as skinny as he still is, he's actually a tough little thing too.

He's also shot up about 3cm compared to this time last year. It was noticeable when we saw him in person on Tuesday night.

 

[DapperJong]

indeed

For the VFL watchers, is he a carbon copy of Colyer? Or does he have more strings to his bow, If so, what?

Something we are seriously lacking. Sounds like another astute pick by Disco.

I believe Nathan Bassett is largely to thank for this one.

About time he did something positive for us.

Not as quick but a lot smoother. Think Mercuri, though not as good.

He has speed (though not quite as much, he does have a better work ethic and endurance) and is small.
That is about where the similarities end.
