News Orazio Fantasia departs for Carlton

[Rendaw]

Its not about picks for us its about points but for Essendon its about picks.

We can trade 26 and receive extra points and still be in a better position.

 

[Rendaw]

Essendon want Sam Hayes included in any deal for Fantasia.

FFS campaigners! * them off immediately

 

[robbo1981]

Apparently the want Hayes lol * off just forget about it C4 just posted it .

 

[Brian McGee]

Wouldn’t even offer Hayes for Fantasia and a pick.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Apparently the want Hayes lol fu** off just forget about it C4 just posted it .

This board would implode.

It is worrying that other clubs are waking up to the potential of Hayes though.

Port will have a big decision to make at the end of 2021 IMO.

 

[chachi11]

LOL Hayes???!!!!!
DODO HAS GONE FULL DODO!!

 

[OneGreatClub]

Ok tweet has been deleted, what’s up?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Pick 26 is overs for him.

*still dont want.

Not really. It could end up being pick 40 when compo picks and Academy and F-S players are bid on and matched. I'd prefer it to be 31, but if we give Essendon pick 26, they wont be picking the 26th player at the draft with it.

for playing fortnite and are thinking of slotting in fantasia in his position

 

[Schulzenfest]

Ask yourself, if Port were in a tight final contest like the PF against Rich, is Fantasia ever going to be the one to break the deadlock and get us over the line or kick the match winner?

This is an odd point to make if you're anti-Fantasia. I don't trust Fantasia to get on the park consistently. I don't necessarily trust him to rack up high disposal numbers, or to put on elite defensive pressure. But that last quarter against Richmond was the exact time that we could've have benefited from a player like Fantasia. His strength is creating goals from nothing.

 

[JimmyBC]

You just gotta wait Dodoro out if it falls over so be it, Hayes is not even a discussion.

 

[King_Tredrea]

I think pick 26 is fine but we should also get a lateish pick back for points

 

[PJ Power]

This board would implode.

More like at the start of 2021. He must be given opportunities next year

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hayes talk worries me. I'm not convinced that we're not stupid enough to do that.

 

[PJ Power]

I hope we appreciate how good Hayes is going to be.

 

[JimmyBC]

I hope we appreciate how good Hayes is going to be.

We should at the same time it's not unusual for a ruckman his age to not have made his debut yet also factoring in an acl, we haven't been holding him back imo it's not panic we better start giving him a gold pass.

his main bag is going missing for 3/4s of the game

He wouldn’t have gotten near the ball in that last Qtr against Richmond

 

[Grave Danger]

If we traded out one of our ruckmen it should only be for a crying need (ie quality KPD), not for a nice-to-have flanker. And then we'd need to draft another project ruckman.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Ok tweet has been deleted, what’s up?

I wondered how long that would take.

Rendell said Port put pick 26 on the table for Fantasia and Dodoro should take it and run.

But the good folk at SEN wrote Port put 26 on the table for Port yada yada. Couldn't take the flak and pulled it. It will go up again later, written properly.

 

[philthy05]

This is why I didn’t want us to go near this guy

over-rated contracted flaky has been (if that) at a popular Vic club.

the media is all in when it comes to creating this ******* fairytale where he’s supposedly a gun player and port would be getting a bargain only paying pick 26 for him.

also, * the idea of giving away pick 26 cause we’ve finally gotten an nga when the afls other clubs have benefited from farcical s**t we’ve missed out on for decades.

we didn’t fight our asses off to get into the afl to be soft**** losers.

I don’t want orazio, but if he wants to come to Port, ******* grow a pair and tell them they can take the same late pick they would offer us if it was reversed or they * off.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Bwahahaha Sam Hayes Bwahahaha.

 

[chiwigi]

Bwahahaha Sam Hayes Bwahahaha.

I’d offer Lycett first! Though it would be waaaaaay overs.

Hopefully this isn’t a ‘missing piece’ scenario.

 

[Brian McGee]

It’s definitely just posturing by Essendon. The deal will get done, and for something reasonable. A long time left in the trade period yet.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Has the trade period even started yet?

 

[chachi11]

Dodobrain is going to get wrecked by CD..
