Player Watch Pick #56 (2021) - Dante Visentini

[davesnothere]

Only thing keeping Sweet in is we didn't lose.

Dante is as likely against English as Sweet.

 

[RangaInTeal]

I know we have just won and Lord played well, but still feel Georgiadies is under sized to be a genuine threat as the Alpha in a deep September run. Lords ability to pluck ground balls should have him playing higher (CHF) if Visintini and Sweet could hold down the other Key Forward role and allow Georgiadies to play in the Fristch, Miocheck, etc

Lord has nowhere near the aerobic capacity required to play CHF

Yes. Needs a good 2025/6 pre season to build his tank after a lot of injuries the past couple of seasons.

He doesn't need it to hang deep forward Luko or Marshall when fit can do the cross country runnery shite playing high forward.

Agreed, I like him deep forward and hopefully as he continues to build confidence he can become more assertive with his positioning instead of frequently playing from behind.

 

[davesnothere]

It's time.

based off of the tweet i sent in the changes thread he is a good chance to play.

Im so happy to see him, hopefully he can expose Riley O'brien around the ground as riley is as about useless as sweet around the ground. Dante is a decent tap ruckman in his on right though.

Sweet needs a reality check, been absoloutley destroyed last 3 weeks

Rory O'Riley is uncoordinated and average as ****, but always destroys us. Hoping the Inferno can turn this tradition around.

Vis has already played a showdown and did pretty well. Its been erased from memory because it was another Keninkley masterclass game.

I was actually surprised to see earlier today he has played 6 games. I remembered them after, but thought he'd only played 2-3. I don't get to watch much of him in SANFL, hopefully he can step up.

 

[klem22]

Does he have enough mongrel in him to compete and gain an advantage over the opposition or is he just another talent that is weak?
I remember when Brogan first stepped up you knew he was going to be OK.
Under hinkly this club has become pathetically weak so i could not expect Vis to be the acception to the rule!

From the limited amount I have seen he has it.

It will be nice to see him, JHF and Zak getting aggressive together.

Thats starting to feel like the kind of midfield Carr would love.

If I'd been asked, I would have said 2-3 games.

He's managed to rein it in a bit, but he has a touch of white line fever.

Dantes DNA is aggression.

If we are going to have a issue with Dante it's going to be curbing it.

Think Darryl Poole.

 

[crowpuncher69]

Go well big fella

 

[Tibbs]

Pretty much the only joy left in this season is watching the new, and younger guys like Dante develop in games. I see they are giving 'young' McEntee another go to showcase his talents.

Our future is secured!

 

[davesnothere]

By the end of the Crows game Dante is our number one Ruck and the issue is how best to manage him.

I hope you're right.

Or he's suspended.

I'm OK either way TBH.

 

[bringbackbucky]

If he takes a contested mark, he will have already be ahead of Sweety...

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I was a bit surprised Tim Ginever was not happy about this change, saying Sweet had only had one bad game and that was only around the ground after quarter time, won the hitouts, etc. I think he thought O'Brien was a big, strong but lumbering opponent that Sweet could work well against.

I'm hoping Dante will use his athleticism, mobility and aggression to good effect.

 

[TeeKray]

Sweet has been terrible. Dante deserves his chance and hopefully he takes it because his ceiling is higher than Sweet's.

 

[JimmyBC]

I stopped listening to Ginever awhile ago he's cooked.
