Free Agency Orazio Fantasia - will join Carlton as a delisted free agent, 2 year deal

[EBERT THE KING]

This bloke goes under the radar as one of the biggest busts in recent trading history. Hasnt fired a shot at Port after putting on a big song and dance two years in a row about going home. Out of contract at seasons end.

Hard to see him being at Alberton next year. Would another club have a look?

He’ll finish his career in SA. Body was pretty cooked before he left Essendon and his go home factor was legitimate. Was never going anywhere else.

Wasn’t really a song and dance either, was kept pretty quiet until he actually left.

 

[Great8]

He will be back at Norwood next year

 

[eth-dog]

I'd have him back if he wanted to but I'm probably alone in that.

 

[davesnothere]

Will be at Port on a minimum contact next year.
I've no doubt his management will shop him around but who would move him interstate?

 

[Magma]

reserves captain

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Could play vafa at st kevs if he was interested

Very doubt he would have any interest. I can see why Port tried, he's a talented player and sometimes moving an injury prone player to a new club works wonders - Cats and Brisbane saw this with Lincoln McCarthy. But it hasn't worked out.

What's the story with old Razzle Dazzle Orazio? Was always an exhilarating player when up and going but looks an absolute shell of his former self. Just a terrible run with injuries or something else?

Injuries would be a huge part. Hard to build any kind of consistency in his game if he can never get on the park. Spends more time in injury rehab than working on his actual football craft. He's got natural talent which can look good sometimes but he's built like a 12 year old and I don't think has the physical attributes to be a consistent performer at the highest level. He's also a cherry on top player I feel, and when the team around him is playing as poorly as Port is right now, he's going to struggle to have any impact on the game.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Sadly appears to be cooked because of injury.

 

[branedotorg]

Sadly what most expected to happen, just one with a body not cut out for AFL

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

When he was up and going he was awesome to watch unfortunately his body couldn't hold up

 

[King Patty]

Delisting chance at Port and potential DFA elsewhere.
Big fall from grace, is body cooked?

His body was cooked with us tbh

 

[Jeremias]

Can’t imagine any club would be interested.

Surely he’ll retire.

 

[Doctor Feel]

He's a complete mess, forget about him.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

His body is shot unfortunately.

Will retire.

huh. why would anyone even suggest that? we have our quota of injury-prone players, plenty of small forwards, and not enough list spots as it is.

Club chiefs warned by AFL of 70 per cent slump in TV audiences for AFLW

The figures were presented to club chiefs at a time when players are demanding more games. Also in this week’s Scoop column, a former Bomber wants to be traded back to his old club.

[AFDogs]

Can we take a punt on him for a year and see how it goes? If he gets his body right he is damaging. Would be an addition to our forward line.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Bit weird that he wants to go back, swear he really wanted out a few years ago.

Ozzie is coming home zackah
