How was the number of times he broke out of a tackle, baulked or turned sharply and skilfully disposed of the ball, even by a dainty checkside pass in one bit of play. Like wow!

Agree.
He's the Chuck KPP replacement.
Not a ruckman per se, but could probably take the taps in the forward half reasonably effectively, like Charlie does.

Speaking of "punch" take a look at this guy... any shared DNA? Checkout his nickname

The vibe does seem to be 'angry Peter Ladhams'.

Loved this bit...
“He competed not like a tall. He liked the contact, he liked to chase he liked to tackle, he liked to body up and that’s pretty rare for young talls,” he said. “They normally take the time to learn about their bodies.
“The preseason 2020 that we lost, he and Ollie Lord [drafted by Port Adelaide in 2020] were doing some bodywork, nearly to a point where I was telling them both to settle down.

It was mainly the hair, but a few of those marks and ground level skills reminded me of Stephen Kernahan.
That's purely a visual comparison, not a comment on his ceiling.

Well after all the concerns from BF with us having such a poor draft situation and after we let Ladhams go, we seem to have covered most of our glaring deficits position wise.
We’ve done ok in terms of filling positions this post-season, with the only exception of small, goal-kicking forward. It’s whether the people brought into those positions do any good now. Time will tell

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it yet but he reminds me a lot of Pittard
Who out of Pisani or Vinsenti will debut first?

Is the heritage of the name from the Venice region?

My family hails from the city of Trieste which is also in northern Italy, not far from the border with Slovenia. It does appear the name is even more common in the Venice region than in Trieste though. It is a variation on the more common Visentin which appears to be around 10x more common.

I believe a bloke from West Torrens `debuted' Pisani way back in the late 1980's.
