Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Massimo D'Ambrosio

[Simon_Nesbit]

But Call me Cake told me he was soft and needs to work on the defensive side of his game. Forget what he's shown us throughout this entire season, it's only what happened in 2022 and 2023 that counts.

Edit: if we are going to call him a cake, then it would have to be one of those really dense pound cakes.

That's the best thing about Mass.

For the next ten years whatever pleasure us supporters get from watching him rip it up on the wing for the next 10 years for the Hawks will be multiplied by a factor of 3 in the knowledge that the Essendon flogs will still be kicking themselves for letting him go for nothing.

I think we should get more Essendon discards for this reason, it really is a most delightful feeling

I feel he could end up being able to play inside and outside.

Was talking to a 55+ Collingwood chap on the train ride home who has been around footy circles for a long time.

He mentioned that Massimo would be the recruit of the year if he had gone to Essendon rather than departed them. Was adamant that the media hysteria (read Herald Sun) would have also seen him get an AA wing.

Apparently his old man was also a very good footballer who won a Best and fairest playing in the western suburbs.

I'll be forever grateful to them for taking a clapped out Mark Williams off our hands, facilitating the Shaun Burgoyne trade.

Seriously how good was this. That wins you finals.

Funnily enough his full name sounds like a wizard's spell from harry potter.

Nick Watson in the forward line waves a wand and says "Massimo D'Ambrosio!" and the ball appears out of the night time sky, because it's come from the defensive 50.

Not the first time he's done that this season either.

I feel such shame for being ambivalent when I heard we brought him in last trade period.

Doesn't matter mate, there wouldn't be a single poster on here that thought he'd be performing the way he has this season.

My favourite post from the Essendon board on Friday night. Fair play.

The Massimo thing is Sagrada Familia/Sistine Chapel level **** up. God bless him.

Just an epic masterpiece no one can hope to replicate.

It shows what a farce the draft is. McGrath is number one pick and Dambrosio is leftovers.

The scum made the decision to only offer Mass a 1 year extension which with him being a 2nd year rookie he was within his rights to turn down and become unrestricted free agent. Apparently they really wanted to keep Heppell on their list

Can we turn Tsatas into a AA level wingman? Now that would be funny.

Nope, he makes McGrath look like Amon.
