There’s no one in the league better at the low pick-ups at pace. And it’s not just skill, it’s nous – loved one collection on the Southern Cross flank in the second quarter yesterday where he didn’t run monotonically to take the ball but slowed, changed his angle, then BURST. Gave his man zero chance of stopping him once he took it.
If his hamstrings hold, he is going to be one of the greats.
I haven’t seen a guy come through with his skill set in a long time. I think a move to the middle next year and a couple more kilos will see him become one of the most damaging mids we’ve seen at Essendon.
Fantasia is not a midfielder ffs. Been crying out for a legit small forward for a decade and we finally get one who can kick bags semi regularly and you all want him as a mid?
What is his contract status ? I am very nervous … Adelaide are into him no doubt as they need an Eddie replacement… Dare I say barricked for Adel as a kid …!?
In watching our goals again the Raz one where he gets the hand ball from Myers and then snaps on his left is amazing for this reason
Raz starts in the guts but at defensive side of centre bounce, keeps helping push/is tracking ball fwd from there. Lays a big tackle which spills ball free. Then gets up again as Langford is streaming fwd with it to eventually then be the option after Lang fights through a tackle to get the ball out that ends up with Myers.
