Traded Orazio Fantasia [traded with #73 to Port for #29 and 2021 R3]

[matey]

Nuts to be suggesting Duurzma or Rozee as possible trades. Fantasia is good when he is on the park but he is soft as butter, has sticks as arms and a brittle body. He will maybe average 12 games a season. Anyway Bombers should be able to cover him by the way Dodo was fist pumping when they got Mosquito! Late first rounder or early second rounder is fair.

We can't LOCK THREAD on the highest value trade target of 2019 M8.

Nah, just keep bumping it so it never gets to the graveyard on page 3

I like Fantasia. Giving up a first rounder for him would be madness though.

Why?
Because you dont want him to leave?

Yes, as I have abandonment issues......

You barrack for Adelaide, so you should know my pain.

Well at least you may get to see him in the Showdowns when he moves to Adelaide in a few years

 

[Ambrosia]

Don’t think he’s leaving but his body must reduce his trade value. Was clearly not right this weekend and just can’t seem to stay on the park at all.

Isn’t going anywhere just yet but if he does return to Adelaide it won’t be Port

Just your own opinion or..?

Just my take on it from speaking to his family and friends.
I’d be very surprised if Essendon would even deal with Port either, too much bad blood remains

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Considering Port passed on a pick swap with Carlton last year that would have netted them a top 2/3 pick this year to take Duursma..I think that not even dynamite would dislodge him from port

Duursma plus our pick 8-10 this year for pick 2-4 this year?

No thanks.

 

[JayJ20]

I think he is gone. Something isn't right with him. I just hope he chooses Adelaide if he does go.

 

[Young Gun #6]

Probably wouldn’t even take him for ‘free’ at this stage.

Considering he’d probably cost 600k per year, gets only 6-7 touches when he’s not on, is injury prone, applies little defensive forward pressure and has basically 0 impact if he isn’t kicking 3 goals in a game.

We already have Motlop as an inconsistent, 1/6 good game player who coasts and only shows ‘flashes’ of brilliance instead of having any consistency or continual influence in back to back games.

Soz mate, apparently he and Bassett have a special relationship and the Power is his destination club. Good luck

Understandable given the amount of downhill skiers in your side. Consistent performers worth their weight in gold for you guys.

We don’t necessarily need constant performers, we need a good coach who can bring that out of players.

Hinkley breeds that inconsistency, how many coaches come out with “can’t expect us to play well every week”. He’d make Dusty look average.

Nah. Too many good players that don’t do the hard work when the chips are down. Wines, Motlop, Watts, Dixon, Ryder, Gray, Hartlett, Rockliff, Westhoff, SPP. Port don’t need any more coasters.

 

[eth-dog]

Well if Port don't want him and Adelaide don't want him I guess we'll keep him. Such a shame

 

[mattwa]

Essendon would be silly not to offer him and a good pick for either wines or b crouch. Got smashed in the contest again last night

 

[Mikevk123]

Port Adelaide Receive: Orazio Fantasia and Pick 31
Essendon Receive: William Drew,Billy Frampton and Pick 61

Been getting smashed because he's needed hip surgery for over half the year, club has just been stupid and tried to rest him enough to eke out games.
