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

[quotemokc]

Hip injury of some sort

 

[Bjchan13]

Give him the GC game off as well. Get him right for Port Adelaide at the docklands.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Cooked, get whatever we can for him and run.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Cooked, get whatever we can for him and run.

Will get over his injuries,have a break out year and then ask for trade you watch.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Will get over his injuries,have a break out year and then ask for trade you watch.

That's the spirit, I knew you had optimism in you!

I thought you would have said he'll ask for a trade then have a break out year in Adelaide.

 

[Beerfish]

As out of form as I’ve known him to be. He can’t be fit.

Nah mate. Marley Williams is just that good. Source: lolnorf board.

Has done little since people refused to call him Fanta-Sia. I blame Roaming Brian.

Reckon Fantasia and Laverde need to spend the summer getting strong.

Squats, cleans, the basics. It's the meat and potatoes Lyon referred to implementing at the end of his first year at St Kilda when they were riddled with injury.

They are being managed conservatively, evidenced by the reality that neither has developed physically, and it's not even close to working.

Just hasn't been given a clear run at it, started in pre-season, mentioned this in his podcast, would love for him to have a mini pre-season for 4-6 weeks

sounds like hard work- any way we can fast track the process?

Yeah, would give him 2 weeks rest and 4 weeks hardened mini pre season and then ready for finals (if we make them)

I know some Bulgarian weight lifters

 

[jmoo wan]

I know some Bulgarian weight lifters

that’s your solution to everything!

 

[TheWeapon]

Agree with resting for 2 weeks to give him a decent run at the rest of the season

 

[DA18]

Just spotted him in Adelaide, didn't say hello, bit mad with him atm

[eth-dog]

Looks like Vanilla Ice now ffs

Laverde is a friggin beast! Did you mean Langford?

 

[DapperDon]

Ok,

Slots back in against GC reckon we missed his ability to create a contest in the fwd line

it’s to evade the hair drug testing- he’s been joocing as well. hopefully it has sped up his recovery.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Guelfi has been great since dying his hair, I'd imagine that Raz will come out and score 10 this weekend if he plays

1 goal 4 behinds? Sounds right.

Few boxes to tick but a 9 day break between games means he could be available next week.

The availability of star Bombers Dyson Heppell and Orazio Fantasia for Sunday’s match is less certain.

Heppell pushed through some foot pain in an inspirational performance against the Crows last Friday, while Fantasia missed out due to a minor hip injury, and both Dons have some boxes to tick to prove their fitness for the game against the Suns.

“We have nine days (from the clash with Adelaide) into the Gold Coast game,” Crow said.

“We’re assessing both of those players day by day and we’ll be giving match committee the best information after main training on Thursday about whether or not Dyson or Orazio are available for that game.”

Ruck, forward ready to fire

Zac Clarke and Jayden Laverde are expected to be available for selection against Gold Coast.
