Senior 14. Orazio Fantasia

[The Dochs in]

Lots of IFs obviously but a forward line of Harry, Charlie, Martin, Orazio, Motlop and one of E. Hollands, Durdin, Owies or Cunningham is very very good in my eyes.

 

[Aphrodite]

What a stupid question!!!!
Any thing that has never been near * is a great start.

Far from it.

As others have alluded to, Orazio had no say in who drafted him when he was a teenager.
Cost us nothing, low risk, potential high reward.

Great pick up.
Was top few best small fwds in the comp last couple of seasons at Ess, even first year at Port was 30 something goals. Only 2022 and first half 2023 had injury issues. Back half of this year played last 8 games in SANFL kicking 20 goals. That's still a '55 goal season' run rate at SANFL level if extrapolated over 22 odd rounds.
Is coming in fit, so interesting to see how it plays out.

Big if, but if he's fit and can get close to playing his best footy..he definitely makes us a better team.

Was doing the rounds, was also on SEN yesterday arvo too.

Seems that the Vossy connection was v.strong.

Welcome to the Blues Orazio. Sounds like the Vossy connection on/off the field was a big factor in joining the club.

Hoping he can help develop our young forwards and inject some razzamatazz into the forward line.

 

[Juice030103]

The fact gws were also after him gives me confidence he can be an afl standard player in a flag tilt

 

[Manhattanite]

Fantasia also won best Clubman previously so even if he doesn’t always get on the park he will be good for the culture and an asset off the field too - but fingers crossed he’s playing most weeks

Looking forward to some Orazzamatazz........

Well done Vossy, and it has Cook's player acquisition style all over it too.

Did he win at *? Because my left sock could win it there.

“He gave me a call”: Fantasia names the Carlton figure that convinced him of Blues move

“We stayed in touch and at the end of this season he gave me a call...”

Welcome Orazio

[MightyMighties]

To be honest I haven’t seen much of him cos I tend to avoid watching * but that’s a fair highlights package. Electric around goals.

 

[Soapy V]

IMO our ability to kick multiple goals and have different avenues is our weakness

With Fantasia E.Hollands and the improvement expected in Motlop & Durdin I can see the improvement needed in 2024

Well done Voss, Austin & Co

 

[therubbernub]

Interesting pick up.
2022 Austin wanted to solve the wings even though we had some serviceable ones. Picks up Acres and Ollie> serviceable ones out

2023 Austin wants to solve the small forwards even though we have some serviceable ones. Picks E. Hollands and Orazio> serviceable ones out?

Speaks well and seems more footy IQ than I'd first assumed. Clearly loves Vossy. Get around him.

Just thinking of that quick sand scene makes me sad. The one scene in a movie that is a real struggle to watch.

I love that Orazio introducers himself “Orazio Fantasia”, just in case we get him confused with all the other Orazio’s walking around.
