News Orazio Fantasia departs for Carlton

[Doctor Feel]

Another thing to add to the list of reasons as to why we shouldn't bother is how incredibly wishywashy he is. He bumbled his way through the last trade period without ever officially declaring he wanted to leave, and so far - has he even publicly spoken anywhere saying he wants to come to PAFC? The media said he nominated us. Has his manager said it either?

Guy has no conviction. I wouldn't trust him in the phalanx.

[PowerLil]

He's played 33 games in the last 3 years. Round 1 pick? Yeah, nah.

Why are we even giving this deal any oxygen? 26 is way overs.

 

[Macca19]

1st rounder lol

 

[tribey]

Give Dodoro a job for life. I love Essendon being a malignant non-factor.

 

[finbarr]

Somebody needs to sit Dodoro down and matter of factly explain to him what a delusional dickhead piece of shit he is.

Essendon have no power in this. Fantasia asked for a trade. We didn't go seeking him out. Its almost like we're more doing a favour for Fantasia while spending as little as possible, and hoping it works out.

Go f*ck yourself you f*ckwit.

Yeah, if you grew up watching footy in the 80's and 90's, and somebody explained how Carlton's and Essendon's last 2 decades had gone, they wouldn't believe you. It's been magnificent.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Just walk away Port

 

[finbarr]

Lets re-hire Peter Rohde for a week just to throw a Manila folder full of papers at Dodoro then storm away from the trade table.

 

[Forzaport]

We can now legitimately walk away without Fantasia feeling aggrieved.

Our offer was too high anyway. Walk away CD.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Dodoro in trade period ...

Who cares how Fantasia feels. We should have no good will toward him.

I don't like how this list decision is being dictated by Bassett and Jonas. Bass is the forwards coach and gets along well with Fantasia, the vested interests are frightening given Orazsio's actual output.

 

[manureid]

We will be recruiting Garry Mcintosh and Michael Aish soon to appease the Norwood contingent.

Sounds too much like the return of The Friendship Club to me.

Walk away from the deal and focus on Aliir.

 

[Gryllis]

Walk away now. Pick 28 was way too much. They're not happy with that. Forget it. Let them keep a player who doesn't want to be there. If he actually gets on the park, make a free agent offer next year. If he has another injury riddled season, we dodged a bullet.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

ambit claim.

 

[Pappagallo]

Out: Smooth Bananas
In: Rough Pineapples. For Dodo’s butt.

 

[bomberclifford]

Smooth Bananas

We were a literal frat house at one point. Depressing.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Dodoro you're a ****ing spud

 

[Dangerousfield]

Give Dodoro a job for life. I love Essendon being a malignant non-factor.

He still thinks he won the Daniher non trade last year!

Walk away while you can, 28 was a very fair/overs offer, Dodo will suck all the oxygen out of your trade period. Aliir is a talent if you can lure him away as a contracted player

 

[Lefti93]

Dodoro you're a ******* spud

he should learn to swim

 

[davesnothere]

Trade period starts tomorrow.
Wonder what Dodo is going to ask for Fantasia?
We do this well and we are head hunting Fantasia much as we did Gus and Matt White probably 2 or the best calls we have made in recent times.

 

[Interstater]

Let them match our bid for him next year, otherwise they can accept the 4th round compensation.

I'm done with the Orazio blah blah already.

Lienerts final game criminally underrated, could well have a Trent McKenzie

season next year.

Jones and maybe Garner and Bergman also come in to this mix too.

agree

Liernert could be a regular 22 next season, playing the role Bishop once had helping out a "small" and "slower" FB in wakelin. Perhaps this was the thinking when dougal was moved on.

I doubt he will be a restricted free agent though?????
