#13 Orazio Fantasia - his surname is pronounced “injured”

His absence for chunks of the year has hurt more than any other. That 3 week patch against pies, Dees Hawks that he missed was huge. We were on top and wasteful for periods in all of those games. this guy and our ability to put score board pressure on are just so tightly linked.

He’s still not 100% though.

If he was fit all year we would have been top 4 i reckon. He makes that much of a difference in a year when the competition is very even.

Is deadset one of our most important players. Magical razzmatazz.

As good as he is forward i reckon he can turn into a topline midfielder.

He is the player winderlich would have been without injuries

hold your horses mate, raz has had some injury trouble. give it 5 years and we’ll readdress the comparison.

He has almost become the barometer for the team. Crucial player.

We picked him up with the pick we got from Freo for Gumbleton.

Didn’t work out with Gumby but in a weird way a decade on we are being rewarded with a player that could have been pick 2.

Thank you Gumbleton and Freo.

100% agree. Him and Daniher fit could have had us where the Pies are which is a painful thought.

On the footy show today, Smith said Fantasia was in the top 2 for important players in the club. Lots of respect there.

So you’re saying that if the injuries continue then we can truly say he’s Winderlich 2.0?

Raz right now is similar but better to the Winderlich Renaissance of 2013/14.

Man, dont even joke!

Dodoro actually likened Fantasia to Winderlich when he was first drafted.

Did he say who was number 1? Or was he too humble to say.

He said Daniher.

He said whilst he hasn’t seen Daniher at full flight cause of his injury this year, the buzz around the club when Daniher is “on” is almost Buddy like.
