News Orazio Fantasia departs for Carlton

[Schulzenfest]

Not gonna be jumping for joy if he ends up a Port player, but happy to give him a chance if we do. He's sucked since 2017, but McKenzie sucked for longer than that and we turned him into a player this year, so why not? It's not like he could do much worse than Farrell and Woodcock have done over the past month.

McKenzie cost us barely a list spot

Dodoro will actually try and leverage something out of us for player worth as much as McKenzie was.

 

[Pappagallo]

I didn’t want him before but now I still don’t want him.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We don't need him and he wouldn't start for us, but I'll take him as a restricted FA or a 7th rounder or something. Paying anything of value for him should be completely out of the question.

Nothing wrong with experienced backups. If he stays fit, who knows? Look at McKenzie.

I don't see Essendon letting him go for free though, they'll probably demand Wines and a 2nd or something.

 

[Ljc_86]

I have this nagging feeling we are going to get him and he is going to win us over like Gus did.

I’d rather we get Gus back.

it’s a no from me

Bit hard on Woodcock there Schultzy. The lad’s stiff to be compared to Farrell.

 

[TeeKray]

Does anyone else remember how we had a thread last year with a title something along the lines of "Fantasia requests trade to Port Adelaide"? I love how this thread has jumped the gun in an almost identical way.

 

[Janey]

Isn't the report that he is having medical testing at an independent place and the results being forwarded to the two SA clubs? You don't need to be interested to receive an email

That's it. We haven't even asked for a report. He's just shopping himself around.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I liked his form earlier in the season and I still think he has a future, but you have to admit that he didn't have much impact last night.

 

[glitch01]

Motlop already has the mortgage on the inconsistent flashy half forward flanker role......

Farrell & Woodcock are babies do you have to be KPF to warrant any patience around here?

If there were any KPF's who were clearly better than Marshall lining up to come to Port, I'd want us to consider them too.

All I see with Orazio is an overrated injury prone douche bag that will inhibit the development of others.

[Ports1870]

Priority list for me would be

Schofield and Jones
Tall Defender
Perryman
Crouch at Right Price








Fantasia

Fourth or Fifth rounder for him at most

 

[Spadge]

Why the hell would we even be interested in this guy. We were interested last year and he gave us the middle finger then proceeded to play 5 uninspiring games for a bottoming side and spent 2/3rd of the season injured

I'd rather we traded Sam Gray back in

 

[afl2004]

Both bourgoyne boys and taj plus Williams, no need for the proxy blonde soft utensil

 

[Interstater]

Tell him we already have one.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I'm not even sure we have the list space with reduced lists next year. He was worth a punt at the end of last year for a pick around the 40 mark, but this time around adding him means we are forced to de-list someone. To take an example, I'd rather Riley Grundy than Fantasia, and we just de-listed Riley.

But if we get enough retirements after the season to have a spot free somehow then sure, chuck a 5th rounder on the table and let Essendon decide from there.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Also this just shows how stupid Essendon's trading strategy actually is. Last year they could have gotten us to give up pick 31 for him if they had just focused on that and not made ludicrous asks like Sam Powell-Pepper. With that pick 31 they could have grabbed Trent Rivers.

Instead, Trent is going well at Melbourne. Our picks enabled us to get the players we want. Essendon are still stuck with a perennially injured list clogger who is still trying to leave.

 

[davesnothere]

Is Fantasia on ridiculous money that Essendon are trying to get off of their books?
Are they prepared to pay part of his salary for the year?

 

[raptalia]

No thanks. We have been here before.

 

[gbear]

Well if Essendon want B Crouch they can use Fantasia as part of the trade deal.

According to Dodoro it'll be a clean swap of players deal with no draft picks swapping hands.

How that tosser remains employed at Essendon is beyond me!

 

[EskimoPAFC]

As much as I hate the cows I can't wait for them to utterly destroy Dodoro btw. We handled the drugcheats with kiddie gloves. Fagan and Co will decimate them and call out their idiotic behaviour.
