After the Ryder fiasco there will be zero favours given to Port. If he does decide to go I would imagine we would be trying to get the Crows involved


We'll finish 13th or 14th so pick 5 or 6 would get it done.

Yeah, I’d think a pick in the top 6 would be enough but I guess we have to wait and see if he actually puts in a request first

The wording of the article suggests he's not kept it a secret.

A bit of mayo on it methinks.
He has indicated in the past that he will return home one day but he hasn’t informed anyone that it will be this year.
As of a couple of weeks ago he was still investigating the possibility of getting his GF to move to Melbourne next year. Perhaps that has fallen through?

In 2 years he'd be a RFA, he/they may have decided whether it's now or in 2 years he'll be heading home so no point coming over if that's the case.

I'd take him in a heartbeat.

EXCITING Essendon forward Orazio Fantasia has indicated a desire to return home to South Australia, with Port Adelaide believed to be his preference in that scenario.

Both the Power and Crows are aware of Fantasia's wish, but the Norwood product's longstanding relationship with Nathan Bassett has Port Adelaide in the box seat if Essendon agrees to trade him in 2019.

The Bombers are understood to have long known Fantasia would request a trade home at some stage in his career, but wouldn't give the young star up without a fight.

The biggest stumbling block is that Fantasia signed a two-year contract extension in August last year to remain at Tullamarine until the end of 2021.

That contract will take him through to free agency, where the 23-year-old would be able to walk to the team of his choice.

However, clubs are increasingly preferring to trade players in Fantasia's situation before they reach free agency, to ensure they receive maximum compensation.

Essendon doesn't have a first-round pick in this year's draft – using it as part of the Dylan Shiel deal – and hasn't selected there since 2016, but that would be the minimum requirement to prise Fantasia from the Bombers.

Fantasia played in Norwood's 2013 SANFL senior premiership team, coached by Bassett, who also mentored him in his junior days.

Bassett joined Essendon as an assistant coach soon after that Grand Final triumph, about a month before they drafted Fantasia with the No.55 selection.

"We have a really strong relationship," Fantasia said of Bassett at the time.

"Working with 'Bass' … has taught me a lot as both a player and as a person. I think I have grown and matured under him, and it is going to be good to work under him again."

Bassett spent two years at the Bombers before crossing to the Power after the 2015 season, and is currently the club's forwards coach.

Fantasia, whose girlfriend and immediate family live in Adelaide, has kicked 105 goals in 69 matches for Essendon and become an integral part of its attack.

He enjoyed a breakout season in 2016, booting 29 goals, then followed up with 39 the next year, but a series of injuries and illness have limited his appearances this season and last.

Fantasia has barely been out of the spotlight this year, most prominently for the way his surname is pronounced and being the player Hawks captain Ben Stratton pinched relentlessly.


maximum? More like 'known' compensation rather than the free agency raffle that occurs year upon year.

Doesn’t mean much this far out but Fantasia has refuted the rumours and has stated he will be staying at Essendon.
The bloke who broke the story was backpedaling on his story and now claims he meant Fantasia would finish his career back in Adelaide

It's ok to not be ok. If anyone from the SA Footy family ever wants to chat, I'm all ears.

______________________________________________________________________

Collingwood star Dayne Beams has explained in heartbreaking details why he will take an indefinite break from AFL football to deal with mental health issues.

Beams, 29, announced his decision on Wednesday in a Collingwood statement and followed it with a revealing Instagram post. The statement said that Beams intended to return to football, but only once his mental health had improved.

“I have been on the record in the past about the battles I have fought. Right now, I need to step away and regather myself,” Beams said.

“I hope people will understand that this is something I need to do for myself and, importantly, my family. Our wellbeing is the highest priority.”

Beams also took to his social media account to share more details about the mental struggle he's experienced recently.

"Just to follow on from the statement released today from the club... I am a broken man at the moment and this is very very real for myself and the people that I love at the moment," Beams wrote.

"I am not posting this for people to feel sorry for me or to speculate about my life. I am posting this because this is an issue that I will continue to shine a light on because it is real and it can be so so debilitating if it’s not treated.

"So I plead with anyone out there doing it tough just to tell someone because in doing that you are already taking the first steps towards recovery and living a happier and loving life.
PAFC. Forever.

There's been whispers for quite some time about him getting in well over his head on the punt. I don't know whether they're true or not and don't really care, my reason for mentioning it is that I hope that's not the case. I hadn't realised until recently how far down the hole some of the player punters had gone - The figures being bandied in a few cases would definitely have to affect their mental state.
