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

[Zach Package]

I can only imagine he has medical advice that he can't really make it any worse and the coaches believe a xx% fit Fanta is better than no Fanta.

That’s exactly what he said in the presser yesterday. Still struggle to think that a bloke playing with no major tendon in his hip can be effective

I feel like sometimes these guys have just got to remind themselves of the long term. So many careers get cut short as a result poor injury management and the effects last a lifetime. How many times do you hear about a past player that's had new knees/hips/etc and they're not that old 40's to 50's.

Anyhoo, I guess you've just gotta trust they are getting correct advice don't you?

Like Raz said though, he can’t run with his usual dash and it effects his change of direction.

Really since it flared up he’s been equal/lesser version of Baguley.

Totally agree. It's why I wouldn't be unhappy to see Ham line up. He kicked the 2 that Raz otherwise would have. Easily as quick, just needs to develop his size and strength to stick tackles. If they ruin Raz we're hurt long term.

The labrum isn't a tendon is it?

It’s not, it’s cartilage, I was confusing it with something else.

Play on

I can imagine he has poor medical advice and the coaches are all idiots.

It's the cushion in your hip joint.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

The labrum’s connected to the hip bone.....the hip bone’s connected to the...that’s what it’s all about really

Surely we can get AMART to knock up a replacement

Great. So as per most AMART stuff it'll s**t itself in 4 to 6 months.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Ok, maybe we get it from Fantastica furniture instead

 

[Don Won]

Honestly, I’d take 4-6 months for Raz.

 

[Runk]

It’s prob all we’ve got left at this point

 

[justlookingaround]

He shouldn’t play - he has had almost no influence on games post bye

 

[Old Campaigner]

Did you get my nudes?

Not yet, do you have a tracking number?

 

[Old Campaigner]

did he scratch his nose?

A few people thought so but if you watch closely he’s actually scratching his arse and then sniffing his finger

 

[Doss]

...gross.

 

[Old Campaigner]

...gross.

Indeed, but body language experts are almost unanimous in their belief that this is classic subconscious behaviour from someone who thinks playing at Port is a good idea

 

[Hamez]

No longer has the slim shady hair

[Old Campaigner]

Must be seeing the same barber as Bellchambers and Zaka

It's not really cushioning. A rubber grommet would be a good analogy for the labrum

 

[Runk]

A rubber grommet it is then.

So we just need to send him down to Clark's rubber?
