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

[Doss]

Weird as it sounds I had dreams through out the year that Orazio will pull a hamstring and it's happened lols.

Fix your dreams then, Jesus Christ!

 

[Duckworth]

Yeah, guaranteed he's NOT thinking about putting himself on ice for next year. This campaigner wants to be part of finals action!

Ok dreaming was a wrong word I used what I meant was I had visions.

Ha! I might have clairvoyant powers.

You guys have to remember what level of fitness there is required to perform at this level. After his injury he'd be able to move at 70% of his normal, which would be better than most of us at 100%. Players find it frustrating that they're held back after they feel ready to go. Doctors won't let them play until they can be satisfied that the odds of going at 101% will reinjure the tissue is very low.

I have no doubt he'd be able to smash nearly all of us over 200m right now. He also has a huge fitness base and would easily smash out 5k. However, trying to burn off an AFL defender will see his hamstring pop again.

Ehh im not sure about that.

If you have done a grade 2 hamstring you arent getting out of a jog over anymore tham 30m.

Looks like he was running

Recovery process seems to be much improved in recent years, even without peptides.

Orazio Fantasia has resumed light running as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. The small forward who has booted 38 goals this season injured his hamstring against Carlton and was ruled out for around five to six weeks.

High Performance Manager Justin Crow said the Club would continue to monitor Fantasia’s progress.

“Orazio was back doing some jogging and running progressions on Monday,” Crow said. “He’ll run again tomorrow and he’ll keep progressing through his hamstring rehabilitation and we’ll obviously update everyone as we get a better indication on his progress.”

Doesn't sound like a 5 or 6 week hammy to me.

Yep what I was thinking. Might be available first week of finals with the bye to come should we make it.

Sounds better than what I thought

BOY OH BOY! WOWEE!

OOHHHRAATTTSSIOOOO FANTAY-shuh

Please nobody tell BT......

 

[donlav99]

elimination final- IN: Raz. OUT: i dont care.

He has to be a dead set big chance to get up for the first final.

 

[Bomber_Dan]

That extra break before finals is a blessing. Razzle gonna dazzle in the finals.

 

[Doss]

I'd go as far as saying that us being able to do any damage should we make finals is heavily contingent upon whether Fanta can make it back.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I think, legally, you have to say #BackIn.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Miss the bloke.

The last time i missed a player like Fantasia was when Andy Lovett left get back soon Razzle.

 

[Halftimehero]

I'd go as far as saying that us being able to do any damage should we make finals is heavily contingent upon whether Fanta can make it back.

Definitely a bit of a barometer, whenever he's kicked 3 or more goals this year, we have won.

Razzle

Where did that come from?

 

[blitzer]

If he's doing light running already - you'd think with another 2 and a half weeks to go that he'd get up for a finals game. He might be a little underdone but he's a really good runner and I don't think he'd be too far off the pace.

C'mon Fantasia we really need you!

 

[JayJ20]

Since he went down against Carlton, there were several moments where I thought "Raz would slip through and kick a goal there".

He's so important to our side. We haven't kicked above 100 since he left.
