Ex-#13 Orazio Fantasia - well… bye

Imagine having players that actually play!

We shouldn’t be getting too hung up on Daniher and Fanta, we havnt had them for years anyway.

Cooney was a brownlow medallist and we massively overpaid for him. Fantasia’s value stems from one good season several years ago, and he’s hardly played since.

I wouldn’t be getting your hopes up on getting much for him, unfortunately.

If it was a packet of Toobs I’m on board.

He’s still here?

News to me.

Body is shot and pushing him out the door, so 3rd or 4th rounder. Dodo might even get this deal done in the first week.

Such a pity. Was electric a couple of years ago. Should never have played on that crook hip.

I reckon front-ended contracts are bullshit and shouldn’t be a thing. I’m fine with contracts being front-ended ‘in principle’, meaning that on the club’s books and pertaining to player payment caps, amounts can be slid forward or backward - but the ultimate amount of payment to the player should be even across the contract duration. This crap with players signing on for a number of years, getting paid heavily up front, then deciding to go for something better halfway through is just not right to me, particularly when the player is young enough to have a future contract likely. Convince me otherwise.

Feel like clubs are okay with it.

you are not getting anything more than a 3rd round pick for orazio, and even that is wishful thinking. probably a 4th

Would love to see a breakdown of contracts ‘broken’ by either side and whether they were back or front ended.

I think it would be extremely dull.
I also think that while players have input into their contracts, by and large the frameworks are set out by the club for their own benefit.

So you’re saying we’re no chance to get pick 1?

So there’s no news on which club he wants to go to. Hopefully Adelaide rather than Port as an Adelaide third rounder is better than a Port one. If we even get that.

No-one can run faster that a kicked footy

It seems that our team’s fastest runners are quickly running away from the club.

Late 1st rounder?

Adelaide’s fitness and conditioning guru will fix Orazio.

Can we package Raz up and get Crouch?

A cultural terrorist. Also a sook. A small forward that doesn’t pressure. ■■■■ him off.
